Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
讲干话谁不会说? 收买人心 说话技巧 跟逻辑思维 才是王者 Knows peoples intelligence Think of high school - people listens to people like E or outspoken people more Now in adult working life - imagine why you would talk to JJ but not Aug It’s because he’s there for you to listen And people tend to go to the weaker person more if you think about…
Então, fiquei aqui em casa com a minha dor, fiz uma bolsa de água quente e dormi. Acordei brevemente pra comer salada de beterraba com tomate e farofa de banana, voltei a dormir. Abri o whats e vi que um grupo que eu sou adm estava pipocando, não consegui responder nem ajudar em nada. Voltei a dormir e acordei pro…
Take a new leap of faith Read the book Go to events Go to sports meet new people Travel the world for half a year Talk to people you wanted to talk to Listen to podcast Ask for a raise Don’t escape from the hard things in life by short term dopamines (insta, fb, YouTube, dinner, sleep, etc…) Put your mind in it Put an…
Technology is not, and can never be, neutral. Since it is impossible to present all available choices with equal priority, what we choose to emphasize is an expression of our values and priorities. Choosing defaults, providing recommendations, or identifying what content is shown and in what order. These are all…
Maybe there’s more way to go about it. Why I feel anxious when something is not going my way - is because I was not used to acting or behaving this way. Too much of my own comfort zone. So to not feel anxious - be comfortable in feeling uncomfortable. Know that you’ll fail no matter what in the first place and it’s…
ahhhhhh shock! my eyes are opened to a creative AI tool, here is a first though after using the tool: creativity for the general public will soon be more accessible and capable of creating things for people who don't 'mind' what the outcome is as long as it hits their description closely. But what this tool will do is…
H.266 VVC is technically better than AV1. In terms of Quality, Performance and Complexity. FVC is a working name for the successor of VVC. With a target of 50% reduction regardless of computing power. In all previous case they have encoding and decoding complexity target. So it seems FVC is trying to push the boundary…
this is a personal note, nothing wise. I consider myself to be a very disciplined and wise person for my age. but there are moments where I feel, where is this wisdom even leading me to. all the people I know do cool stuff and living just amazingly. how to make sure that what I'm doing, excluding myself from every fun…
Day-3 of my 30 day atomic essay streak. In essay-2, I wrote about the concept of mindful repetition. Quick recap: It's a repetition of a simple actions that moves a system towards stability and makes it sophisticated with time. This sits very well with personal habit formation a.k.a building daily life systems (DLS).…
.. or public writings for myself? Who knows what this will evolve into, but it seems at first glance to be a natural step forward from using The Most Dangerous Writing App to get my thoughts out on paper, back when I was a teenager. Personally I have always felt the struggle of wanting to be in a community, to share…
The cold, empty space stares back at me: What if it doesn't resonate? What if I'm not pleased with it? Tick-tock More seconds elapse and I don't even have a draft to call first. It's an uncomfortable feeling. Staring across the chasm between the brilliant insight in your mind and the not-yet-articulated onto the…
I beg myself to do the hard level things. Being disciplined is hard. Time is limited - I should be doing outside the box thing. It shouldn’t be hard; I’m only in a small Construction firm in a small country. Should not be limited to the small arduos tasks here. There’s still so much more to life: there’s CEO. There’s…
coming from the fertile goddess that is indonesia -- where you spit on the ground and your saliva grows into a giant beanstalk -- back to the arid desert that is italy, i'm thinking: why are we deforesting biodiverse gems of the earth? why don't we farm more seriously in barren places like most of the "1st world"?…
Anything you could achieve can be seen when you’re young When your SOLE and ONLY purpose is the grades inside your REPORT CARD When the only thing you’ve wanted is really just to get good grades And you didn’t work hard & you knew you didn’t study that much And you got bad grades with Cheehou (that was the dream…
ahh as i continue to think about ways to create in the realm of digital worlds it becomes more evident that old utopian concepts are relevant to todays context. in Constant's New Babylon there was a notion that we crave adventure. to adapt in a digital world would be; when we dont find our current world stimulating,…
We ended pt 3 by asking, in short, why can't we leap before we look in our quest for creative colutions? One answer is that we've tried shortcuts. Check the web. It's full of models, maps, diagrams, templates, tools and advice on, 'how to write a killer headline'. While a disciplined approach is clearly of some value,…
I have been a heavy user of the internet since 2000. There were years between 2012 and 2016 when I was very active on social media. Since then I have shied away from maintaining any online identity. There has been a constant urge to build an anonymous identity (to find like minded people) but I don’t want to build any…
If only I could.. Left in the liminal spaces Adrift
I’m not a big fan of competition. For many people, the race to the finish line is irresistible. No matter the game, something drives them to seek nothing less than first place. The idea of first place doesn’t motivate me. Whether I place first or 31st, it feels about the same. I don’t have any particular elation when…
From the book "The Business Idea Factory" by Andrii Sedniev: "There is a direct correlation between quantity and quality of ideas. The majority of ideas that the best ideas creators generate are bad, some of them are average and very few are genius. These few genius ideas make the best creators enormously…
some of the first things that i want to read now, before i really start reading a book, is the "about the author" section and i've noticed that it is usually like - birth year - birth place - current place of residence and it's like: why? why is this the info they choose to share? and when talking about artists of any…
There’s no need to feel anxious about things, especially now I know that these aren’t like hard things to do yknow. Knowing about cafes, food and bars, you don’t have to “STUDY IT” per se, like really put all your efforts into it You’re stronger now. You used to be waking up feeling anxious about what you feared you…
In German, a "Menschenfänger" - in a positive sense - refers to someone with a remarkable ability to inspire, unite, and motivate people. Today, I had the pleasure of being visited by one. I was left impressed and energized. Being around a Menschenfänger reminds me of the powerful positive impact one individual can…
Since I retired in June, I've struggled with feeling like I am doing enough. I stay busy and accomplish a lot. For some reason, changing from full-time to retirement makes me think I should do more than I am. I think I found the secret to feeling good about slowing down. Stop worrying about the next thing. Be and stay…
I noticed a thing about myself a couple of times - I go into the "I'll prove I am worthy of this" mode too soon. It is a pretty natural reaction to feeling rejected or challenged. I guess some of it also comes from a childhood where quite a bit of validation came from achievement. On most counts that need to prove is…
"Sometimes, the heaviest things we carry are the things we never got to say" Grief is not a storm. It's the cupboard that won't open anymore. He found it on a Tuesday. That quiet, off-colored moment where nothing hurts and everything does. A sock without a pair. A phone with the number still saved. The absurdity of a…
I found nichless on one of my friends bio. I really like the concept of clean and minimal content management. Excited to start writing!
Há tempos eu não sentava a bunda para escrever por 8 horas seguidas. Estou exausta, mas gostei do resultado. Eu queria saber qual é o tempo que levo para escrever a minha newsletter Espiral. A conclusão é que, caso eu queira produzi-la primorosamente, gastarei ao menos 2 dias inteiros escrevendo e condensando nela…
Hello Folks, Today I write about the story of football and its significance in our history & the impact the sport has had around the world. As I Write this, one of the greatest players to ever walk on the field is probably playing his-LAST DANCE match. (More on that!) Football is probably the most democratic sport, it…
I had a dream that Kiese Laymon, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Damon Young were hosting a writers' retreat somewhere verdant. It was me, Young, Laymon, Coates, Kenny Smith (of the NBA), and some writers I can't remember right now but we were all Black and saw ourselves as men. One was named Joel, I think. We were in the big…
Your life and mine eyes that intertwine. Like rings around a finger and golden sheets of amber. Like a bicycle wheels belonging to childhood. Innocence and romance, Chocolate and laughter. Your life and mine, like the surface of a swimming pool in a fresh morning. Or the side of a river, calm. And pebbles. Your lips…

O texto é pra lamentar que agora o Sesc 24 de maio não vende mais sorvete de iogurte but also to talk about something more deep, como minha rigidez cognitiva com algumas coisas. Eu não gosto de mudanças. Na real, não gostar é muito ameno. Eu ODEIO mudanças. E tudo está sempre mudando o tempo todo nesse mundo. Tudo…
As we grow older, we experience the pressure to enjoy ourselves. Unlike family, peer, or societal pressure, this one stems from the self-realisation of new preferences. For the longest time, you didn't have preferences. Specifically in India, the activities you'll indulge in are decided for you. You enjoy those…
People don’t like getting sick, but I do. Getting something like the cold has several stages. First, there’s the feeling that it’s coming. Then you’re actually sick—the low point. After a while, you start getting better. It’s the getting better part that makes me like getting sick. Why is it enjoyable, exactly? You…
Tried weights to stretch my ears for the first time. They seem to work very well. I’m trying to get back to 38mm like I had a few years ago. I went from 32mm to 35mm with this first time using the two 32g weights. I think I’m going to stay at this size for awhile and let my ears get use to it before I try moving up…
Not living inside yourself To be confidence means being prepared And doing all sort of things right No matter how small they are and picking things up So even you go to the elevator Look at the surroundings and take it in Observe and learn Especially when you’re outside try to find what’s new perspectives that could…
I was woken up by mom having really high fever and immense body pains. It was immensely scary. I was suddenly face to face with exactly how helpless I was without her. Also, my immediate reaction was anger towards her. Anger for being vulnerable. I don’t know why I react this way Just the previous night, had a…
Nov 20, 2023 marks a few approaching ends—the conclusion of the year, the nearing end of my mid-20s, and the closing of this chapter of my life. I have found a myriad of tools to distract me from my anxiety, with nostalgia being a key one. I dress in '90s fashion to emulate the teenagers I saw when I was a kid in LA,…
My boat stands still Soaking in the calm sea; A moment to ponder. -khyati I remember the late morning when I clicked this picture at a jetty near my home. It was about 11 am on a weekday. But the thick cloud cover made it seem like a late evening. Very few people have the privilege to loiter around on a weekday…
Que mágico é saber cozinhar. Recentemente, fizeram pra mim um arroz delicioso! No estilo cozinhar com o que tem, a pessoa pegou da geladeira uma alcaparra que estava paradinha tinha tempo, pimentão verde, cebola, lentilha e tomate. Com certeza tinha outras coisas também, mas essas foram as que eu mais notei. A…
Olhando para fotos antigas, fotos essas que nunca soube da existência, também me peguei olhando para sentimentos que outrora não sabia do gosto. É curioso como são tortuosas as linhas que transportam sangue do coração para o cérebro, um caminho tão curto, mas ainda sim de diferenças metafóricas enormes. ♫ so baby,…
posts in the discover tab only shows posts from 2022, wonder if this platform is still active.
Life is simple, but we make it complicated. Life is a like a game, but at times we focus on it too much. Life is exciting, but sometimes we take precautions Life is coming out of your comfort zone, but we are scared of falling into pieces. Life is like dancing in the rain, but we are afraid we might catch a cold. It…
Hoje eu li bastante. Ontem também. Minhas newsletters estavam acumuladas depois de uma semana intensa no trabalho. Mas hoje eu li um texto da Suleika falando sobre reclamar. E eu tenho muitas reclamações. Seguindo sua recomendação de imaginar um setor público destinado a receber reclamações formais, aí vai. Nome do…
Ainda não sei qual será o caminho que esse blog irá tomar. Quem viver, verá.
What is Life? if we were to die one day, And what is Life? if we're gonna live forever.
"If you are so bothered with it all, why don't you do something?" My friend's voice is etched within me. These words remain central to my last Acid trip, 4 years ago. I have been doing something about it. For 1460 days now. I left my job, started building. There is a lot wrong with our world, if not 80% of us would…
