I am interested in the schools. I taught for 34 years and loved it more than words can express. I lived my bliss; the most important thing I gave to my students was my love and time. After that, you can teach. My prayer is that you find only "real teachers" for your school. Kids may forget facts, but they will never forget how you treat their souls! I still hear from my precious ones; that is a part of my priceless gifts. I wrote notes to three children everyday-90 seconds!! The words are often quoted back to me!! Once after they left 5th grade, the came back as seniors and aske me to take them to Europe to see the are--15 went; I cried as the looked!
I would suggest a book called "What Great Teachers Do Differently-Todd Whitaker. Good luck; You can be a blessing to the future.

It's not the best quality and who knows how long it will last, but here's something for you guys to go on for now.

http://tr.im/2m0h

or just search 'tim ferriss' on ustream.tv's page.

It's been cleaned up a bit and took quite a while to get this going (codec issues + working with ustream since this won't fly on youtube or googlevideo, etc. etc.).

If Tim Ferriss has any other ideas for how this could be distributed, I'm open to suggestion.

Apologies to all, especially to Tim Ferriss (from what I gather from his Twitter feed, he must have sent the link out). I saw the torrent link and thought to myself, 'well of course somebody must have thought of making a torrent of this show before me', so it never occurred to me to even check the links.
A bit foolish of me.

I really do have the show as .TIVO and .MPG on my computer. Let me cut up the file and share on Rapidshare. I can also setup a ustream.tv 'show' of it (I think those shows can be repeated as long as they are recorded, too).

I don't think that is an actual torrent of the show, at least the top few links aren't.

Just an advertising thing i.e if you search "wagga wagga woo" you get the same results.

Please correct me if i am wrong, i am very keen to watch this show. Maybe putting it up in segments on youtube would be the best way for everyone to watch it.

For those of you looking for the show: I found there is a torrent for the show already if you search for 'trial by fire tim ferriss' at the website www.torrentreactor.net. There may be other torrent sites that also have the show.

For those of you who don't want to work with torrents, I can setup a ustream.tv channel to replay the show (I suppose just reply to this comment list for now?). I figure most of you can work with the torrent, however. Not sure how TF himself would feel about this (I'm open to suggestions).

Tim,

How many did you do, was this just a one hit wonder TV show. There are no more upcoming shows on The History Channel Website. Was there anymore these filmed. I can't speak for everyone else, I would like to know and the best source is you to tell us and not the history channel. I know there is something brewing whether good or bad and I would like to know the progression of your show "Trial by Fire". Will there be more "different episodes" or did the pilot episode not make it. If you are reading this, let us all know or post a Blog or something.

- Ross

Yes! Yes!Yes!
We need to see Tim on TV :)

All,
I have the show available from off of my TIVO in best quality. I can either ustream.tv the show from my webcam at a certain time, or I can distribute through other means.

Is there still interest in capturing this episode?

@Tim - awesome show, I would love seeing much much more of it.

@Luke - take a mini retirement for a year or more in another continent, the bugs will die out without food ;)

Tim, How would you deal with bed bugs? Is there a life hack way to get rid of this stress?

How about a show on learning to sing?

I don't know if Tim will read this but I hope he does.

I think a post on optimizing aspects of the school experience would be very helpful for many of us. I haven't found anything online about how you said you got into princeton with a less than ideal SAT score for example.

Jeremy — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 13:53:26 -0000

Tim,

In the live video someone had asked what book you liked best for "learning". I can't remember your response.

Could you remind me/us.

Thanks.

Hi All! I have a bunch of responses...

Thanks for all of the great support and comments.

@DFMichael - check out sivers.org for some good 4HWW-like advice for musicians

@Jiggy - You'll all know about the show as soon as History Channel tells me!

@Max and others - thanks so much for the kind words! Keep on rocking :)

All the best,

Tim

Hello, Tim!

My name is Max, I'm 23 years old and I live in Russia, Moscow. I'm currently working in a transnational company (on a 2 year management trainee program), getting the postgraduate (PHD education), but trying to develop my own projects online at the same time.

I write you simply to say thank you for your book. Without being insincere I can say that imho this is the best and most practical business book ever written.

I also wanted to ask if you know what drop-shipping companies work and ship to Russia. And probably you could be interested in some kind of cooperation yourself.

Anyway, now you have somebody to show you Moscow in case you decide to arrange one of your mini-retirements over here ;)

When do we find out if this is being picked up by History Channel?

Re: Live Post-Show Q&A at 12 midnight ET and 12 midnight PT

ijin — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 15:01:00 -0000

Where do we watch this online?

Re: Live Post-Show Q&A at 12 midnight ET and 12 midnight PT

DFMichael — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 13:17:57 -0000

I think your book is one of the best things ever.
And you just keep coming out with incredible ideas. How you do it?
Anyway, I started to applying your principles to my music. I wish sometimes creating a song was more like a book, especially when delaing with instrumental songs like mine. I hope one of these days we'll see a version of your ideas for music artists.

Hi Tim, congrats on the tv show and racing accross the states. Whats your next dreamline?

The book has been a paradigm shift for me and inspired me to take up breakdancing. I still can't do more than one windmill but I've entered a freestyle dance competition this month which will seriously push my comfort zones.

I just wanted you to clarify your views on reading non-fiction. In your book and the video of your Princeton lecture you seem to be quite against it. Despite this I have seen you mention many books on this blog: 'A Complaint-Free World' 'Radical Honesty' 'Paradox of Choice' ect. I wonder if you can tell me how many non fiction books you read per month/year.

Thanks in advance and keep setting an example.
Huey

Hey Tim!! I guess it is probably quite late to leave you a comment on the show. But after listening to your energetic speech in the class last Thur, i ordered your book. It just arrived! pretty excited about it.

Back to the show, it was excellent. it's impressive to see how much you've progressed and succeeded in the last run. I almost jumped out of the couch.

horseback archery was well popular in ancient china, espeically in the 13 century when China was in Yuan Dynasty. it was an eye opening to see the Japanese transfers this into an art.

thank you for the great show. hope to see more in the future

Just wanted to say thanks for all the inspiration you've provided, and wanted to wish you the best of luck with the new TV show.
