Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
Maturity is you know how to 守 not just 攻. You don’t need to keep replying the guys who have bad intention to you. Don’t make yourself the victim And just do you Be interesting
When you were a kid you thought everything is possible And why adults are always so busy as having so many excuses That’s because adults learn the bad things Never ever endulge yourself in the bad habits Find the good things Always Do the best
And it rains. Some of the surface water would run off into swales and boomerangs. The soil is arrested. The overflows would then be captured by the recharge wells. The remaining water would slowly infiltrate into earth, trickles into the shallow aquifer. The open wells swell. Some of this water is used for domestic…
there are many stories and analogies regarding the output of pressure -- diamonds, and all that -- and though I think this is valid, I sometimes wonder if I seek it. that isn't what I intended to write there. I intended to write, "I wonder if it is necessary." an answer that is closer to some truth came as I wrote )I…
it's better to spend time alone than to be bored by people. after the norwegians left, i haven't really enjoyed hanging out with other people our age because all they want to talk about is BOAT PROJECTS and i sit there thinking about how they're wasting my time and how i wish i could go read and write but when you're…
In the early phases of industrialization, machines increased output but also set the pace of work. Productivity rose, yet control and benefits stayed with those who owned the system. Workers adapted. The structure did not. I see a similar pattern unfolding in a quieter form. In my own work, the use of AI is not…
Mais um dia em BH. Hoje vou sair de novo, claro, mas assim que vai ser: vou levar meu livro, vou ir no mercado novo, comer um pão de queijo, almoçar por lá mesmo e depois partiu cinema. Vou ficar lá até o final da tarde e depois voltar pra casa. Aí si, si! Tô cansada de andar. Gostoso porém chega. Falando em andar, as…
Coming home to a refreshing pool, a beautiful sunset, a delicious BBQ dinner, surrounded by loving parents feels like paradise. I‘m so lucky.
It's been a while since I wrote. A whole month has passed. There was some anxiety closer to the NT Scan when I started bleeding a little. Nothing to worry, baby is doing well. We made a baby announcement. Was happy to share this news with the world. Almost 15 weeks pregnant now. A long way to go, but have also come a…
Primeira vez que escrevo num blog. Sei la, muitas ideias e poucas ideias para jogar aqui de forma, minimamente compreensível. Sabe como é a mente de uma pessoa altamente criativa, ansiosa, sonhadora, autossabotadora e noiada? É um turbilhão de coisas ao mesmo tempo. Eu fico imaginando se eu me olhasse as vezes de fora…
Pessimism is a disease of the mind. It is where hope goes to die. It is the virtue of the loser, the quitter. It is the darkness that is cool comfort for those to scared to live before they die. With the collapse of FTX and the fraudulent and terrible actions surrounding those placed in positions of trust in the…
Yes, the freedom is great. You can set your own time, your own rate - which is usually higher than an employee, and you can work on exciting stuff. But most of the time, it is very mercenary. You are not a part of the community that surrounds the project. You weren't there when it was only an idea, and often you're…
When I'm with you, I feel like I'm a thousand feet tall. When I think I've lost you, I feel like I'm dying. I live for all the little moments I spend with you, your smile, your voice, the little curve of your nose and the silly way you make the worst things funny. You are never far from my thoughts. I could write a…
'People don't quit companies, they quit managers'. Just like the way companies do background checks, you also need to do background checks on managers/teams/companies. Oftentimes we don't put in the effort for two reasons - 1) lack of choice, we need this job 2) we don't even know how to do it. Glassdoor reviews can…
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,…
Ever heard that saying? Course you have. Ever seen something genuinely new despite spending every day of your life on the internet seeing things that are little reworkings of things that have been done before? Sometimes yeah. This car thing is new to me. Look at it go!…
In a culture that often emphasizes balance and self-compassion, advice to avoid being too hard on oneself is common. Phrases like “It’s not good to be so strict!” or “You shouldn’t force yourself!” may seem well-intentioned, but I believe they reflect a misunderstanding of self-discipline and personal growth. While…
According to Mr. C It’s okay to not know because you’re new He looks at you for your capability; potential IQ is the same It’s just that new people might not know and will be all over the place in the beginning Never throw the task to seniors Take up the responsibility and actually do it as well You could’ve been…
The distinct feeling I'M SULLYING THE SPACE WITH MY AWFUL WORDNESS. But it's also nicely distraction-free, conducive to taking more care with my words in general. And I have to say 300 words is a pretty good limit. Hope people keep giving it a try, might turn into something.
What generation are you a part of? Did you know that there is a a micro-generation called 'The Oregon Trail Generation'. If it wasn't confusing enough just sorting through the Gen X and Millennials delineations. This is a great time to reflect upon though if you are aware of what the Oregon Trail was.. The game not…
A movie is like a person. Not everyone likes any one person. Not everyone understands that person. But there are always people who love that person despite all his inherent flaws and understands why he is the way he is and accept it all. That is enough for that one person.
This 100-day project does not take weekends off. But I'm staying true to my overall writing philosophy: write something every day. In my mother's immortal words, "Keep Saturday Saturday: start late and go slow." I started very late, 2pm, and the 15 minute goal to write anything project-related became 30 and 45 and…
In Biology WBC stands for White Blood Cells and RBC stands for Red Blood cells , but this is not about biology . This is about a game , a game of football to be precise , where two brilliant teams went all out for the prestigious champions league trophy . On may 28th , the UEFA Champions League final was played in…
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…
Coming back from a week of traveling, being in nature, and pretty much not working at all, I am realizing how much I love working - understanding new concepts, creating something new, deeply engaging with a problem and thinking it through. Sitting in the train on the way back, already working on a few things and…
There's a very popular line in the web series "Kota Factory" which basically says that the preparation for the IIT-JEE examination shatters the confidence of students who don't clear the exams. I have been in that situation over 3 years ago. I now have a college degree in Management and have been at the top 10% of my…
The airport, a place where people from all over the world meet, sitting here and looking at the people passing through just makes you wonder what kinds of lifestyles do this people have, their story. Is kinda fun to try to guess and make up stories about it. There are so many possibilities in life, so many different…
When my brother and I were growing up, our dad would respond to my brother's "alternative" preferences for how he chose to express himself by rolling his eyes and saying, "whatever floats your boat." This phrase was etched into his mind and, later, into his skin, when he commissioned a tattoo artist to ink a wooden…
5:30am del sábado. Y hablando de las 5 de la mañana aquí comienzo. Mucho daño causa el libro de "el club de las 5 de la mañana", todos los gurús te van a mandar a leer ese libro si quieres ser exitoso o aumentar tu productividad personal. Yo pregunto... ¿Qué demonios tienen las 5 de la mañana que no tienen las 4 o las…
today should be a good day if we would be a could be.
Regardless of what you're doing or wanting to do. Everything that you can do that's relevant and has chance to be impactful has one thing in common. That commonality is something you can see behind every successful author, musician, artist, entrepreneur, etc. And I'm not referring to putting in the work and getting…
Estou passando uns dias na casa dos meus pais em São Paulo. Voltar para cá me faz encarar uma realidade de onde às vezes teimo em escapar. Estava refletindo sobre a minha preguiça quando ouvi a minha mãe no cômodo debaixo arrastando o andador para se movimentar pela casa. Ela faz questão de fazer tudo apesar da…
Meet friend Yvette Francino. I was part of her Jan 2025 "Carpe Diem Budget" of "guilt-free spending on friends, family, travel, and joy." Who is/are your Yvette(s) in your life? --- CARPE DIEM BUDGET Yvette emailed five friends about her travel to the SF Bay Area, California - "This year marks a milestone for me (and…
Acordei animada, mas atrasada. Coloquei meu celular pra carregar, tomei banho, tomei vitamina de banana com chocolate que meu amor fez pra mim. Atualmente, essa é minha comida favorita. Fui pro aeroporto de ônibus acompanhada do meu amor. Fico tão feliz de ver o quanto ele me apoia. O avião atrasou bem. Mas finalmente…
Two young fish were swimming along. An older fish swimming the other way nods at them and says, “How’s the water?” The two young fish swim on for a bit, then one of them says, “What the hell is water?”[1] According to Alan Kay, thanks to the above exchange, the IQ of each of the two younger fishes increased by 80…
Eu estava falando bastante. Perdendo a noção do tempo de tão falante e desperdiçando tanta energia em discussões aleatórias. Perdi a noção do tempo na vida real também. E nem percebi que chegou o dia 20 do primeiro mês do ano. Menstruei. Farta e abundantemente muito sangue jorrou e continua jorrando por aqui. Nos…
You know when you see sketchbooks that belonged to people who sketched? They're wonderful to look bakc through. I am a person who draws, but much of my “sketch” work is done on the computer. I have a good chunk of files of things I’ve started or experimented with or copied to get a feel of, or something. I want to…
Must I have a title here? What if a paragraph suffices? Does this site allow for microblogging? So many questions!
i'm doing insurance claim stuff and i thought about what to name the folder where i'm gathering all my receipts and i named it what it is, "consequential damage" but then it struck me as somehow poetic and badass and very usable for an artistic project.
When I started weight training about 15 years ago, I was rather intrigued by some of the folks in the gym who wore all sorts of contraptions. From wrist and knee bands. Head bands, gloves and then a belt around the waist. It was quite fascinating that the exercise wearable market had evolved to a point where the body…
I am a sucker for new (mostly productivity) apps. Tell me about your latest notes revolution, or calendar, or browser/whiteboard, and I just have to try it. I’m seeking that elusive optimal productivity, while ironically wasting time farting around with the tools rather than actually creating. I’ve noticed this…
Eu volto de férias hoje às 14h. Tenho certeza que tenho muitos emails para ler, só não mais que eu teria se estivesse trabalhando no varejo. Então, um mais um motivo para agradecer. Agora, minha quarentena esse ano vai ser do instagram. Volto daqui 40 dias. Com o tempo, pretendo ler mais, estudar mais. Hoje também fiz…
I don't think anyone except Germans uses this English saying. It basically means “If it ain’t broken, don’t fix it“. And I think that is complete bullshit in todays dynamic world. Sticking to established methods without seeking improvements is not neutral, it is destructive. But too many people think like that,…
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…
"Write what you know" suggests you already have starting material for saying something. As you begin to write what you know, hopefully you also begin to see what you don't know. So you do some research, re-evaluate what you know, and re-commence with your writing. The inverse is true, too. What you know is revealed in…
the startling, borderline terrifying -- yet strangely comforting in its reassurance of purpose -- ephiphany: this is FOREVER, this writing gig, this cook & tell revival. like the jarring middle-of-the-night realization in early sobriety. and then, as it did almost a quarter century ago, the universe gave a little…
Last year, I worked on a little project to figure out what we needed to do as a society to prevent us from making our planet unliveable. I took an inevitable deep dive into the climate crisis only to realise that fossil fuel consumption and the resulting runaway warming of our planet is a mere symptom. That trying to…
Yesterday, I was watching my some random reels and one of them I could totally connect to. I feel like I’ve lived my whole life trying to not take up too much space. It’s so liberating to have found vocabulary to describe exactly how you’ve been feeling your entire life. I see it in all parts of my life. Personal and…
