Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
I wonder when it first dawned on me that one day I will not be here anymore. Was it when I was 12, roller-skating, back in my hometown? Afraid to fall or be thrown to the ground, always afraid to hurt myself beyond repair. Dreading the pain, my fists clenched, gliding on the edges of the rink. Or was it at 18, when I…
What a humbling experience has been this one week. Met some wonderful people and felt the pain of some random people sharing the same space as us on planet earth. All of us have it so different and our needs/ demands are so diverse but when you participate in medical camps as these you realise how privileged you are.…
i'm editing some stuff that i wrote a long time ago while getting "hydrated" before my run (i heard it's important) and it is so whiny and depressing and i feel so bad for myself but i also think i had zero self-awareness i said things like "i'm attracted to brutes" and it's like, name ONE fucking brute you've ever…
Culture is not something that is written in documents/slides or on walls. Culture is created during everyday moments during company building. Culture is the unspoken actions and behaviors of the team during daily operations. Culture starts with founders. Culture is the extension of founder's behavior and personality.…
I used to think to produce good work, I have to duck my head down, empty myself, fully, so that I could un-become, and just be - right - do the right thing - somehow. I now know that my best bet is to integrate, to align, to face my heart, and yours. My best bet is to take things to their logical conclusion - because…
Neither compliments. Head-ons. Incoming jokes. Anything that is sudden and unexpected... Take it slow. No uhhs no umms. Silence and think Can make you be so much more attractive Stop writing and start living more because honestly - after you "dumped" your thoughts like how you dump Fukushima waters You won't be going…
There are many reasons to want a journaling habit. What’s your reason? A specific reason to journal is not required. Like any daily habit, having a why will keep you motivated. A quick internet search will yield a list of the benefits and research behind journaling. Your why may or may not be listed among the…
Hoje uma amiga querida me deu apoio em duas situações. Uma sobre um caso que ela sabia e outro que ela não fazia ideia. O caso que ela sabia diz respeito a falar inglês. Com anos de estudo, eu consigo entender 80% do que falam, escrever bem, mas a fala ainda arrasta numa performance medíocre. Hoje, especificamente,…
Just had an appraisal. My Project Manager predicted I’m just going to be a senior planning engineer in 35 years. That’s crazy, I don’t think I have the time for that. What I realised is no matter how good you be at; your position will only dictate you to be at certain levels. Set clear on your goals; remember:…
O título vem de uma frase que Gabi Pankekinha falou no BBB, às 3h28 do dia 7 de abril. Eu gosto do BBB por isso. Por algumas semanas, você tem acesso a formas mais cruas de pensar do que a gente vê nas redes sociais. Diálogos genuínos, dores e alegrias reais. Eu vejo super como aprendizado, mesmo. Eu comecei a…
Why stressing into the things when it’s too late to control The first mistake that people make is they try to avoid mistake It’s okay to be making mistake About systematic You remember the times you woke up for school, do the homeworks and be a goodboy That’s training yourself to be adulting It’s nothing “nerd” about…
February is the month to show your love to that special person. You know exactly who I'm talking about. The person you depend on. They are always there when you need them. You can’t live without them. Yes. Show yourself some love. Here are four gifts under $40 to consider to brighten your day: 1. Coffee/Milk frother.…
Giving a gift or receiving one is so complex, right? One never quite knows what someone would like. We're grappling with how useful, grand, meaningful, or liked a gift will be. The anxiety around a good gift never ends because, for the one giving, it is a matter of 'how well did I do?'. For the one receiving it, there…
A common misinterpretation of Sun Tzu's Art of War is that competition involves 'deception' in the sense of lying, cheating, and manipulation. However, if we considered his work as aiming for peace being the highest form of excellence rather than destroying opponents, it can have a very, very, different meaning. For…
From a spiritual advisor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92i5m3tV5XY For the past ten years or so, every morning, the routine is to make my bed, read some spiritual literature, meditate, and pray. Lately, I have gone back to the ole Headspace well for meditation. But sometimes, like today, I sit still for a few…
As a positive person, I still have a strong Eeyore characteristic. I have doubts. You seldom hear me express this side of my personality. Acting positive and confident follows the belief that you should act like you want to be. So I appear to have a positive outlook. Which, of course, I do have, except for when I…
ahhh as i continue AI text to image generation it makes me think about how it relates to the overarching narrative of art. the closest movement would be surrealism with the goal to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind. now with less barrier to creation, the content within one's mind can now be…
One of the most startling aspects of becoming a father is how that experience somehow heightens every emotion in life. The highs are much higher than pre-fatherhood, while lows are more difficult to accept. In some ways, there is plenty to learn when you become a new father. First, that 'newness' never leaves.…
I'm terrified of this one word. It's just one word but contains an unknown universe within. A universe that I am part of, that I live in, yet that which I want to get out of. I was born into this realm and I continue to live within this reality. Even death does not seem to be a meaningful escape from this multiverse…
Can people be captivated by unknown personalities solely by the way they write or will they be motivated primarily by subjects or interests. My main gripe with normal blogging is that I have a very diverse set of interests. I work in IT, I do photography, work on old motorcycles and spend a lot of time working out.…
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…
2023 - a new year. A new year where people will make and, inevitably, break new year resolutions. Like last year. I resolve to begin my writing journey…with consistency. I prefer short form - short and succinct. This is my aim. What will I be writing about? People say specificity wins. Maybe that will evolve over…
tonight i wasn't sure what to do i've been cycling between reading & writing, and i forgot about music im back to listenin to rap did you know rap was invented in the 1970s? i can't imagine a world before rap what else is waiting to be invented? i've been reading my other blog tonight it is so good i was like damn…
i have never done anything in my life i've hated as much as thinking about boat work not even working in a psychiatric hospital or sitting through tantrum fits of children who don't want to play the piano but who are anxious when i suggest that they stop taking lessons i hate this so much and i hate sebastian for…
Pequei enquanto paulistana kk Não assisti a nenhum desfile aqui de São Paulo, mas, em minha defesa, eu estava empenhada em terminar um livro. No entanto, ontem eu consegui parar pra ver os desfiles da Sapucaí. Ver a homenagem a Lula foi tão lindo, pena que a globo fez uma cobertura medíocre e isentona. Aquilo é…
codeberg.org merupakan website remote yang cukup customable dengan keamanan privasi yang ditingkatkan (klaim dari codeberg.com). Aku mulai menggunakan codeberg belum lama ini yang dikhususkan untuk hal-hal pribadi, sedangkan github aku khususkan untuk dokumentasi tugas kuliah atau proyek yang mengharuskan menggunakan…
Lots of ideas are running around my head - I've always wanted to write more. Writer's block? Self-doubt? Over-editing? Perfection being the enemy of the good? I don't really have a good excuse why I haven't. I love everything that Louis builds and when I saw his latest project, I thought this would be a good way to…
I think the hardest thing I’ve had to do is to decide who to be as a creator. Helping others explore and develop their creativity felt much easier than developing my own. There is such joy in standing with another creative and helping them t o aim their creative arrows toward their desired target.…
How can we know how many people are currently here with us? The artifacts we leave to the world will almost certainly pierce someone's heart at some point in time. Who can know when and how? And who can know how strongly? The other day, I remembered a location in my home town of Boulder, Colorado on the back side of…
Giving me those 2008-2009 vibes. All these new places on the internet to say stuff and see said stuff. Who owns this? And when will they start selling ads? The Deck was peak ads. I miss 43things.
Today, I pitched during pitch night by build I felt good, I think I did a good job. I also feel like I was able to contribute very quickly to getting the presentation done, moving and increasing the quality/ funniness of it. Here is how I am trying to make the most out of the build cohort: 1. Meet interesting people,…
"PKM is not so much about creating knowledge but rather the development of conscious regular activities from which new knowledge can emerge." Harold Jarche I am re-taking Jarche's PKMastery 40-day Workshop. I first took the workshop in 2015, which includes access to subsequent workshops as Jarche evolves his material…
Persist, For this cloud too Shall pass. Well, what can I say except that I have old school work ethic. But this mindset is certainly rewarding - not necessarily in terms of material success, but certainly in terms of mental peace. Persistence. To persist is to stay on despite the odds. Persistence derives its energy…
I woke up today and found out that Azuki, a project that I've been bullish on since I discovered them has airdropped me 4 NFTs worth (currently on the market) 3ETH each. For believing in this project since the beginning, I got rewarded 40K... just like that. Feels like something that only happens in the NFT space. But…
Species, amongst other things, are defined by their niche. The environment they interact with defines the trajectory of their evolution. You notice a tradeoff between specialization and flexible adaptability. Typically, to dominate a particular niche, a species must specialize. The Environment Confines and Refines.…
Tip-toeing that razor-etched line between minimalism and dysthymia.
Is it fucked to think that If you want to get attracted TO other person The first thing to do is to be attractive yourself (girls trying to be pretty; guys trying to make money) Then you’ll attract people who WANTS it (kinda fucked up to think people you attracted will be lesser than you) Be a great story teller, a…
In every job, there is a toughness and a hardness (difficulty) - everything has a level for you to attain; not everything is easy. In every job. Even if you’re not in the dream job yet you cannot lose your identity. You have to fight hard and do your best in every situation - earn as much, or learn as much: and do…
Je me demande comment tout est connecté. La façon dont on se souvient du passé, la façon dont on imagine celui de demain. Comment les échelles interagissent entre elles, de l'individu au groupe à l'état. Au niveau temporel aussi, comment l'histoire influence nos actions, comment celles ci peuvent ensuite influencer le…
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i dont see failures as a negative. they frustrate me, knowing i can be better. i can see what can be improved and how to execute it. the hardest step is becoming better than the vision of my better self...
1. What's something that puts a smile on your face instantly? 2. Who's that someone you look forward to sharing the good news as soon as you receive it? 3. If money and responsibilities are taken out of the equation, would you still live in the same city? 4. What's your favourite childhood memory? 5. Do you feel…
Praying in tongues is the super-power I wish I had known about earlier. Or, being honest, that I had used earlier.
i chose this topic because this was the recent one i came across. I really do have a big question as to why the dresses made in the met gala are so not normal and not wearable by the normal people like you and me. If something should be encouraged it should have a meaning behind it i can't see what good does it…
This is obviously a very easy answer. I will be on my phone. If I happen to have my ear buds with me, I would use them to listen to an audiobook or a podcast. If I didn't have my earbuds or I needed to hear what is going on around me, I would prefer to read some book in my phone's kindle app. Else I would be scrolling…
I seem to be needing emotional punching bags to deal with my emotions. What happens if the punching bag is alive and feels you punching it? Anyway, just commemorating the first time I’ve cried on call with SM because of an argument we’ve been having.
Yesterday we started a road trip around Scotland. Our search for lunch was constrained by the lack of variety. Fish & chips, fish & chips ... oh, and another fish & chips shop. Hungry and without alternatives, we settled for a meal that was pricey, unappetizing, and unhealthy. Why is such food prevalent and who…
I genuinely enjoy listening and learning about the person in front of me during conversations. And I want to get better at this. The art of asking the right questions is crucial in this process. It's the easiest way to become more charismatic, as being a great listener and question asker naturally draws people to you.…
I stumbled upon this platform and became curious. Will restriction generate creativity? I believe it will, but I will have to see. Observe the changes. Useless until proven useful. But... I expect external things to provide me with inspirtaion for writing. I don't hold my own procrastination and insecurities…
