A world of little thoughts.
Don’t feel anxious. What’s going to come is going to come It’s life Make the best out of every living moment
Entrei numa pira com os filmes do Wes Anderson. Mesmo sendo fora da realidade, tem muitos dramas comuns aos humanos de sempre. Acabei de assistir os excêntricos tenenbaums e pensei muito no perdão, no arrependimento, no privilégio masculino, no poder da amizade, na raiva manifestada, no suicídio. Que loucura. Me deixa…
I was supposed to be at the top. I spend most of my free time reading about politics, history, philosophy and economics. I live in the world of ideas. I think in terms of strategy. I want to lead. I want to tell other people who don't share my talent for strategic depth what my vision is and for them to implement it.…
i love megan boyle in ways i can never love a person i meet in "real life" because she exists in words in books and articles that i can choose to pick up and put down -- she doesn't require "live" response and it is an honest relationship in which i do not have to pretend to enjoy anything so if she's really into…
What if what I thought was wrong My perspective aren’t the right one The thought process is not the strongest one How do I forge it within myself To have intelligence I need to be hardworking and keep thinking on it Work on the details Been too lazy to think And that becomes a habit Even the type of bikes, the roads,…
There is a way to do it better If something is wrong Fix it - don’t let it gone by and just let it cruise - take in charge of the ship And find a way to guide yourself to the correct path. Apply discipline - and make sure that you’re doing the right one As small as - or should I say ESPECIALLY the small details. (Like…
there is no such thing as a promiscuous man unless he's gay but my question to society is: is it so bad to be promiscuous? can we treat it as another form of adventurousness? you know what is bad? unhappy marriages abusive relationships we push people to be in relationships so much that we forget that most of us are…
For the longest time I've had a not so healthy relationship with consuming content. I would feel guilty about watching a show or a movie. One of the major reasons was that I had procrastinated so much on the things I should've done that when it was leisure time, it felt wrong. I felt like I hadn't earned it. Have you…
Cold pizzas. They can’t be returned to their initial stage. You can reheat and eat but you cannot bring the taste back. It’s a symbol of things that are not reversible in nature and life. It is a sign of lost and found but found different than original. A cold pizza in your kitchen counter sings a slow melancholic…
One day, I picked up my grandson from school and had a conversation with him about his day. I asked if he enjoyed math and English. Then I asked whether he was good at handwriting and told him that mine was poor unless I took my time with it. My grandson's response to the handwriting question floored me a little. He…
I think I've got the right principles Thought of the idea right - but the way I conveyed it to people is not eloquent enough. i.e haven't think things through like Aaz Today was the day I rejected being a directorship with G I still firmly believe I did the right thing & I felt relieved. However, it's just the way I…
Must I have a title here? What if a paragraph suffices? Does this site allow for microblogging? So many questions!
There have been times when I've been told "good job" and it has made me uncomfortable. You'd expect "good job" to be encouraging. I did too. Except, it felt condescending and I never understood why. Until I came across Adlerian psychology and the difference between horizontal and vertical relationships. For the sake…
In every task you do, know that no one owes you anything. The reviewer doesn't owe being nice to you. Your customer doesn't owe it to be nice to you. Once you click 'Submit' or press 'Send', your work is not only 'yours'. It is open to the world. So, let it be. Let go. You'll be surprised by the results in the longer…
Who decides what the truth is? In liberal mythology, various factions and individuals are constantly making arguments and propositional claims about what is true. This dynamic "marketplace of ideas" is presented as the powerful engine that has propelled liberal democratic societies to global dominance. This myth turns…
You might be a lifeline in a social setup but lifeless underneath, you have a gallery full of smiling selfies but you don't have one smile for yourself everyday.You have a phone full of contacts but you don't want to dial to any one. When you try to analyse yourselves you come to conclusions like I am an introvert, I…
Today has been another day of just constant “Shivani-nelson” static. On top of that, I saw a slack ping from Varun (top boss) on a thread, where he directly addressed me. Here’s me noting down how my body reacted to it; 1. Immediate heart rate increase 2. Sinking feeling in my stomach 3. Thoughts in my mind about -…
It’s time to lock in. Lock in on your dreams. Lock in on your work. Lock in on your standards. Do the boring work and it will work. Leave nothing to chance. Create your own luck. Lock in.
Problem: One of the biggest issues for the new internet of Web3 and the Metaverse is how we 'own' virtual assets. We've seen it already with NFTs: "So what if you own it? I can right click to own it too" Copying the image gives you exactly the same object the owner has, with exactly the same utility. Now imagine…
I love watching MMA fights and breakdowns on videos. Slowly over time I have become a big time MMA fan. It is the pinnacle of athleticism. There is nothing quite like it. Combat sport athletes don't train to simply 'play' a sport. They train to fight with another human being. Their bodies are supremely functional and…
Today we had a lawyer friend of my dad and his 19 year old son who is about to study law visiting. In our conversation we started discussing AI and the future. This not only highlighted my deep immersion in the tech world but also surprised and somewhat triggered me by seeing once again just how naive some educated…
ahhhhhh a reoccurring shape i use in creation is a sphere. why do i use it? the reason derives from a quote by Andrea Branzi "the distance between the natural world and artificial world no longer exists today, because the latter has become second nature". this quote resonates with me, i exists both naturally and…
What percentage of your time is spent consuming and what percentage is spent practicing being the person you aspire to be? When you are growing into adulthood, it is natural that you are a big consumer of information on the worlds around you. And of all the options you have of dealing with that world. However,…
Another one from The Underground Press: === anon8858 The official date and location for the upcoming public appearance of General Federico Rodriguez were announced this morning. As usual, we expect the government to use a lot of acarreados to simulate a massive turnout. After two years of hiding from the public, we…
You close your eyes it's silent Your mind is filled by a scenario you saw in a documentary. 30 seconds later you're trying to solve a problem. And BOOM! It clicks. You found a solution. You're in love with the new idea. You feel like a genius. I know. It feels good! Is this really the best way to get new ideas? Or…
I guess having a stream of thought is a lot like a thread. It can break once it becomes too long. Which is easy when sentences are stuffed with filler words and excessive adjectives. Spelling errors galore. Reading back with proof reading eyes feels like a draughting task. Many essays and thoughts abandon before they…
I'm a big fan of Yes Theory and their open, serendipitous approach to life. And I try to take them as an example, to seek more discomfort myself, to say yes, to approach strangers, and to face new situations openly and curiously. That's easier said than done, and it's still not easy for me. Too often, my comfort zone…
hj é feriado aqui onde eu moro acordei 5h da manhã com a cachorra gritando com o dog dela filhote. bati a janela, coloquei protetor auricular e voltei a dormir com a promessa de que acordaria às 7h pra tomar meu remédio contra infecção urinária que entrou por umas das janelas de estresse. veja, colocar protetor…
On the whole, I'm pretty big on Science. But it's important to distinguish between the cult of science and the core scientific method. Whenever someone says "scientifically proven" I wince. It demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of what science is. Science can only disprove stuff. It's just a method of…
Let me hold you a little longer Let me pretend you're mine to keep Let me tell you " I Love You " ever and forever again.
Today morning I awoke with the dial of time cinched around my waist. As I folded my sheets, made my bed, brushed my teeth, I felt the seconds tick around me and subsequently my throat closed up. Not a good thing to happen, especially, when your mouth is full of toothpaste and a brush. Very absurdly I felt like 15…
being the nice guy is not going to get you anything. you think you are doing people good but no you are just killing yourself bit by bit. people will go on doing what they want to do. hurt you. worse, not even care about you. people are just trauma. you got to be an asshole to get what you want. put your own needs…
Understanding budget is important for anyone to comprehend the fuctioning of taxes, home loans, stock portfolio and more It is when the Finance Leader of India decides which sectors will government invest in, what will the total expense be, how much revenue will India make - all the in next 12 months. This year's…
There many vivid memories and stories that tie me to the monsoons. Growing up in Bandra, swimming regularly at a Club in Khar and going to a school in Santacruz, I am confident that I experienced monsoon in its full glory just by virtue of growing up in these neighborhoods. Early adult life, living in Cuffe Parade…
It hit me today. The realization didn't hit me like a ton of bricks. (Like some people would say.) But it did arrive to my conscious awareness. What am I talking about? Well, the fact that people don't do that of taking time and space out of their mundane routine. Like what I can write in the following paragraphs can…
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Exhausted from the day. tomorrow excites me. a dream of tomorrow as i sleep will be worth the efforts of today...
People often say running trains the body. For me, it trains the mind. When I first started, I thought it was all about fitness, endurance, calories, pace. But after a few runs, I realized the hardest part wasn’t my lungs or my legs, it was convincing myself to keep going. Every step became a small argument between the…
A friend once told me that her husband hates the phrase ‘diversity in a work place’. I was hooked. No one in today’s woke culture says this openly. Especially a man. This sounds wrong. She told me how hard working he is and feels let down when less deserving women get priority in promotion. This made me think. How do…
I spoke with a friend who had recently written off some friends when they were unwilling to engage in debate and acknowledge what he had to say. In one instance, I recall that he had taken the time to write a well constructed and well thought out email concerning a hot button topic. In response, he was dismissed and…
if i wanted to lie to you, i'd say the storm inside you will settle. it will not. see the thing no one tells us about storms is that they're not meant to destroy. i think a storm was a child whose mother never held his hand when he was scared. or maybe the storm didn't know how to tell his mother that he was scared.…
here is my first post the entire content is about writing my first post i figure it's the quickest way to start a habit that will last or swiftly end an interest that won't
Governments the world over, want to be able to exert better control over Twitter. So far their only options have been to enact laws that compel the company to shape its behavior in particular ways. But Twitter is a global company that has to abide by the laws and regulations of all the countries in which it operates.…
There are many things you automatically do better at, if done a second time. For me, when writing a piece of software, I get it all wrong the first time. It may work, but I can see how the code could be written in a cleaner and more effective way. If I get the chance to do it over, the result is better, and it doesn’t…
The paradox of life is, It gives,the lightness of joy and the burden of pain; and takes,so we may learn the worth of what was given. Every gift of joy or burden of sorrow, arrives with the promise of its leaving. And though we may celebrate or grieve its passing, It was never meant to be kept....only experienced. Time…
Wednesday 29th January. 18 games on one evening. An accumulator-builder's dream. This is a gluttony of football. One show promising to serve up this grotesque buffet of deep-fried dopamine hits. "We go live to the San Siro" "There's been an equaliser for City" "Big chance for Benfica" This is football reduced to its…
Is 'should' an inspiring word? When you say "We should do ...", "let's try to", it comes off argumentative and attempts to remove pressure from oneself. Replace with "I'd like to do", "I'd prefer to". These phrases take ownership and inspire
I have decided to quit my job. WITHOUT another job offer in hand. This can be seen as risky, and is highly uncharacteristic for me. I'm known to be a super-careful person. In fact, 4-5 people have told me that not a lot of places are hiring because of the impending recession, startup funding winter and what not. "I've…
My antisocial personality would like to talk, but at same time don't have energy to be socialite!
