Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
Lately, I’ve been reading a lot of HackerNews and listening to what others are doing. To the extent that one would feel overwhelmed by information and developing a “what if my attempt is not as good as what I read about?” complex. I resolve to jump out of the mental flywheel and have fun learning one thing with focus…
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…
If you want to be 健谈; you just gotta try to use your brain Before meeting — think what’s going to talk about; put effort and interest into it & technically just don’t be lazy. For example if you’re going to a badminton session. Everyone should be interested in badminton. You can search from rackets, shoes, badminton…
Folks are flocking from Twitter to Mastodon. And, we recently learned that decentralized posts are called "toots". A decentralized server that is reportedly confusing to join and post is popular for the moment. Many Tweeps create a lot of noise about leaving the platform. And, I've noticed that my follower count went…
In 2000 Portugal had a massive drug problem. 1% of the population was addicted to heroin. They'd been trying to solve the problem the American way. Put people in jail. Shame and ostracize drug users. Every year the problem got worse. Eventually it got so bad that the prime minister and the leader of the opposition…
it doesn't happen everyday, folks you've heard it here first: high motivation karate tai-chi ok so you basically do karate moves, but with every move, you also say something motivational and it's a whole sequence you essentially memorize a monologue of positive mantras as well as a karate sequence (1) ready position…
I was robbing myself by multitasking. I thought by multitasking, I was getting more done. I could check off the boxes and move on to ... more multitasking. Every task was stressful. I was robbing myself of enjoying the process of completing any task. Now I’m consciously trying to be present in what I choose to do at a…
i've never felt there was a stronger case for being selfish. in a good way. like, for the first time, the demand side of the internet has outpaced the supply side. like it finally makes sense to just... be. and maybe that seems oddly specific, or convenient. a reason to realize what has always been true. or maybe it's…
Professional sport is portrayed as being the pinnacle of human physical ability. I call BS. Sport is entertainment. And professional sport is professional entertainment. There is no evolutionary advantage for millions of people sit down to watch 22 grown men chase a ball. We do it because it entertains us. In the past…
While getting reunited with an old friend from school, we started to rewind on the people in school if we still stayed in contact with them or any news about them, and I realized once again why I wanted to run away from that place and cut ties with the majority of my classmates from fake smiles to manipulation,…
I never believed in those who ran "writing courses" or anyone who gave me a framework for writing. There is only one way to write and that is to sit at the typewriter and bleed. There have been so many days when I had to bang my head just to put a few sentences together. You can feel the words and almost form them but…
you thought there would be more monarchs at the end -- and perhaps there are, far too far above to see -- here, in this wasteland of husks and maggots. how many times have you circled back around to the same point in life? all these useless rotations; little changes for a hopefool. not [ ] enough, each time. it's…
...a place where you get to write just 300 words. Nice. Just capture what's on the mind. A snapshot. First impression: Nice, neat, uncluttered. Reminds me of blank paper on typewriter, minus any other prompts. No random feeds and hashtags, pulls or pressures. What way will this go?
For the last month or so, I have been sitting on coding up a weekend project to launch for my next "startup" or web app. Whatever it is. I have been procrastinating, again. The idea is simple. It's a read-only portal for all of my wallets. Google Pay, Venmo, Paypal, Cash App, Strike, and many more. I took my kids to…
“Keep it simple stupid” - Skunk 🦨 Works Lockheed Martin My favourite quote, and something I try to live by
ahh reflecting on the most recent photographs from James Webb Space Telescope published by NASA provides a unique sense of scale to our existence. we are so small! but there is one thing that may be more expansive that our universe. the collective creativity of humanity is forever expanding at an increasing pace. i…
This is my first writing piece, thank God it doesn't need to fit in a niche XD. What will my niche be as I travel down this path of a writer, sharing my thoughts and the lessons I learn along my journey in the hopes that it helps the other souls out here. I will try write something here weekly, just because, as my…
I did not expect this one: === anon8858 It’s finally happening. General Rodriguez will make a public appearance for the first time in 2 years. This is the longest time a public official has been outside of the public eye. Last year, the rumors of his death were the top conspiracy theory in the country. These rumors…
It's late, it has been a long day, and I am tired. Opening the laptop to write my daily post as part of the writing challenge feels draining and I don't really want to do it. So why do I do this? In those moments of doubt I should remind myself of the bigger picture. Often, the tasks that seem most draining are the…
Last week, I almost signed up for a new course. Then I remembered the three other courses I've abandoned halfway through. Classic me. I think I have commitment issues—not just in relationships, but in everything. I like having options, the safety net of knowing I can bail if something doesn't work out. There's this…
i have to treat myself like prey because i am loathe to follow the commands of both internal and external expectation, i cannot declare: "this is what i'm going to do today" and follow through the only way i can behave is to stfu about what i'm going to do and just do it. the only way is to say NOTHING AND JUST DO IT.…
i just discovered some poems i wrote a few years ago they are so good (remember how i said "people who can't write, write poetry"? lol i'm changing my tune now that i see myself as a fucking POET) Poetry is to bouldering as prose is to sport climbing: A great poet has the skills for prose, the only question is…
Mindset makes or breaks your success in life’s endeavors. Journaling is a tool that changes your mindset. I didn’t journal very long before this became evident to me. I didn’t even know I needed a mindset change. I changed because of my journaling. Let's look at two examples of how journaling changes your mindset.…
This blank page is a promise. It promises, quietly, that if I write my innermost thoughts here with no judgment I will find something of value under the detritus. Will I? I have never been able to sustain writing. I have dried up quickly, as if I saw a mirage of a deep lake and only find once I get close that it's a…
"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…
Os dias de atestado finalmente estão começando a render. Hoje consegui me manter acordada por mais tempo, tempo suficiente para ver dois documentários e começar uma série. Vi o documentário da Lizzo e o documentário sobre crianças trans, ambos na hbo. Também na plataforma, comecei landscapers, uma mini série que conta…
Sim, mas chegando em casa, eu respirei um pouco, esperei o suor secar, pedi um uber. Demorou, cancelaram, até que um taxi mal humorado apareceu. Cheguei no Sesc Pompeia às 18h20. O show era 18h30. Peguei a comidinha mesmo assim. Um sanduíche de palmito com pesto maravilhoso, o suco de laranja que não pode faltar e um…
I waited in the train station restroom. A woman exited the stall, telling me, “There’s no more tissue, but I had some in my purse, so I left a small tissue pack on the dispenser.” That is when I knew I am not as kind and friendly as I thought. Scotland's culture is similar to the United States. We don’t dress…
A spiritual guide once to told me that "God is everything or God is nothing. What was my choice to be?" Once, when leaving a spa, the massage therapist told me "Walk on mother earth as you would want your children to walk on you." My entire life, like so many others, has been a life of spiritual seeking. Even when I…
It will seem quite ironic - on a platform which is literally titled 'nichless blog', I am writing on a very specific niche - the trials and tribulations of a law firm associate. When you think about the life corporate lawyers lead, you either imagine them cribbing about how their immense work pressure, or you think…
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…
Lately, I have been listening to podcasts again after I'd been abstinent for almost a year. Right now, that's helping me with two things: 1. Healthy dosing of news Over the last couple of years, I had ran into the trap of news on social media. That included on only doomscrolling the news feed itself while not actually…
nada é tão distante quando o querer prevalece. djavan acertou - sempre acerta - quando disse que "tudo é viável pra quem faz com prazer". aliás tudo nessa musica é um acerto absoluto.
Who are we? What defines us? Who are you looking at when you look in the mirror every day? "To be or not to be" is a quote by Shakespeare that has been reused for decades. Let's talk about "Not to be". We are complex creatures with a nuanced way of social and personal interactions. All these interactions define us.…
"...a gente quer ter voz ativa, no nosso destino mandar, mas eis que chega a roda viva e carrega o destino pra lá..." Ontem isso ficou bem claro. Mudanças de planos, surpresas nem sempre boas, algumas boas notícias, mudanças na rotina, doenças, notícias de morte. Como dizem, o homem põe e Deus dispõe. E só nos resta…
I didn't see the loneliness coming, the solitude I craved turned on me. I'm trying to reach out, to feel some sort of connection. But I won't beg for it, I deserve to be wanted.
meu amigo mudou o número de telefone e foi aí que percebi que em algum momento eu havia perdido a minha grande habilidade de decorar números de telefone. fiquei imersa na reflexão do que poderia ter sido a causa da perda da minha habilidade por cerca de cinco minutos. eu me gabava por saber de cor os números dos meus…
I didn't sell enough in the last cycle. I made too many long-term bets on projects that have not (🤞🏻yet🤞🏻) captured attention this cycle. Cardano, Polkadot, Cosmos, Ripple & Polygon, primarily. My thesis was that these are long-term projects/investments, and while most of them are in profit from where I bought, I…
Retirei-me daqui porque as coisas não andaram fáceis emocionalmente. Busquei conforto nas páginas secretas que coleciono, em formato de diário, no Google Drive, onde minha vida se mantém suspensa nas nuvens. Na última noite eu tive insônia. Fiquei horas escrevendo textos imaginários para publicar. Todos pareciam…
The anti-hustle people will tell you that if you're procrastinating on something, it doesn't mean you're a lazy good-for-nothing loser. It means your subconscious is sending you an important message. At the time of writing, I've just spent 5 hours pointedly not doing the real-life paid work that has been stressing me…
Of all the things people tweet about online regarding startups, I've not seen a single one about cofounder dynamics. Yet, in my experience, cofounder dynamics are one of, if the not the, most important aspect of a young startup. Cofounders can argue and disagree. Individuals have egos sand insecurities. People have…
Don’t have to be rich to be confident Just doing your thing, playing your game, knowing what you do is what you want Feeling anxious and conscious about it is a good thing. It’s a self protection mechanism that allows you to think for yourself But think for yourself when you’re alone. Don’t show it to others. Don’t…
I rather enjoy making my brain twist and turn, to make it work, to give it the muscle shock, and say: "Hey! Dummy! Wake up! It's time for you to get back to growing." Off the top of my head, I would say learning a new language, learning bridge or chess, and now, playing the piano. As a creature of habit, and shallow…
Ahhh observe from behind. an alternate message is revealed. is this a message you want to share? if not iterate on the original until both messages are what you want to share because the alternate view from others is just as valid as your own...
Falar em voz alta. Hoje eu cheguei 7 minutos atrasada na minha terapia. Esqueci. E não estava no celular. Quando peguei pra futricar treads/BBB, vi a notificação e vim pro quarto dos fundos. Ainda bem que deu certo. Falei sobre a minha viagem pra Brasília e como foi lidar com a rigidez que sobressai quando estou fora…
Estou quatro dias atrasada na minha meta e vou tentar tirar esse atraso hoje. Também estou atrasada com meus e-mails, com um livro que eu tenho que ler pro clube do livro que eu entrei e com amigos e familiares. Estou atrasada comigo, não apenas nessas metas que eu impus pra mim mesma, mas com metas que os outros…
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…
• DO WHAT YOU CAN. As long as you start momentum habits. • Principles are the same. You just had to apply. • Listen to your parents but don’t take advice from poor people. Instead, join and attract yourself to the rich. • Be clear in your mind - means doing hard work for the easiest tasks so that you don’t have…
