Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
Is a mix of competency and warmth. Find the balance - you can’t be too friendly but don’t know anything at the same time. To have charisma you need competent And you need to radiate out with the right amount of body & language works (way of converse, thoughts, vocabs - language is the best way to exhibit & market…
https://winnielim.org/journal/where-i-can-take-off-my-mask/ This one feels so like my life except I didn't have that social medium to share things up until now. Really thinking of making this place my own. Hope I can stay consistent with it.
there are artists and then there are Other People and i'm having a hard time not devaluing those other people. but who are they? what do they do? what is their MO? i'm not sure how to trust them.
This is day-2 of my 30 day atomic essay streak. Ironically, this simple act of keeping a count ties back to something more fundamental. I call it 'mindful repetition'. If you google it, high chances you'll land some esoteric definition of 'mindful repetition' - closer to meditation & learning. However, that's a very…
Even though I have known about the problems with invasive species since I took an environmental science class in high school, I hadn’t stopped to consider that our garden could spell disaster for local ecosystems. Invasive species are organisms brought to a new environment and adapt to it so well that in doing so they…
Imagine as KB said - what if you live life regretting that you could've done more I always imagined if I was like what I was when I study for exams. On the last day. Or the last hour. The hormones or the awareness just made me increase my capabilities by 1000%. But I was a 10% prior to that last hour. Imagined that.…
I'm currently finding great enjoyment in qualitative research. Diving deep into a topic, and rethinking and processing all the information until something clicks in a "Eureka" moment is very satisfying. It requires effort to get started (the lazy part in me is fighting against getting started), and costs a lot of…
My antisocial personality would like to talk, but at same time don't have energy to be socialite!
I don’t have a niche. Or to be more precise, I probably have several different niches depending on who I’m talking to and what I’m doing. I talk about PR and public affairs with students and clients and fellow PR people. Within these fields, am I a tech specialist? A B2B specialist? A charity specialist? I talk about…
Got moneys doesn’t mean shit. It’s how you treat people, with genuine care, with genuine kindness - having confidence means it’s okay not to be liked, even nobody is with you it’s going to be okay. And that usually is cos you have your own tribe already that you can do that - you can’t treat it with everyone that way…
como as pessoas são CHATAS! estou apoiando na produção de um passeio e a pessoa só tem que responder se confirma ou não, pq afinal 1. ela que fez a inscrição; 2. no forms de inscrição tinha TODOS OS DETALHES; mas NÃO. a pessoa quer fazer pergunta repetida, quer causar, quer criticar a organização, quer mudar o trajeto…
It is difficult to think where you’ll be at any point in the future. Things don’t always go to plan. So, what is the point of setting goals? On our default path (ie. 9 to 5 job - thanks Paul Millerd) we are asked to make targets or objectives relative to what we know today. What we think we’ll want to tomorrow. But we…
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…
perhaps we blog for the same reason we do work/read in coffeeshops we want to feel amongst others even in our solitude i wonder if anyone has ever met anyone in a coffee shop and become best friends
Trungpa has always really spoken to me. All the themes he touches on are salient to my life — fear and bravery, sadness, loving-kindness, self-hatred. He takes things I believe myself to be good at (being soft, sad, sensitive, honest, open) and says these are what you need to cultivate in order to be free of fear and…
I feel that verbal (and even nonverbal) communication is the most important thing for all beings! But it seems, that such capability deteriorates, becomes empty, or (and) false. Not only in hackneyed phrases of politicians or some of journalists, but generally... What about to discuss about possible reasons?
Don’t hate the bus, or the bus app Hate the fact that you don’t have enough money to get a car. Use the mean time to think and do efficient tasks. There’s no help in being negative thinking. Also be smart - know how to learn and find knowledge. Acquire good knowledge. Who to ask. What to know & have that think for…
It's the Friday afternoon, the feeling of welcoming the weekend starts setting in, a few have made plans for Friday night, while a few are making plans for a mini vacation, a few are just thinking to just sleep and forget away the week that has gone by... U start to hear the excitement around the floor and the noise…
How often in my life I have not taken the time to process my feelings. I know how to work hard and achieve success but I forget to celebrate with a period of rest and restoration. How many times in my life I have ran from one thing to the next without fully absorbing the monumental endeavors that I have achieved. The…
Our outward appearance tells others a lot. Wear a suit and show your business personality Wear an orange robe and show your religious personality Wear harem pants and show your free-spirit personality This is all signaling. By signaling we let others know that our "culture" exists. Now here's the problem.. We, humans…
I've been living in Singapore for a few years now. It's amazing to how advanced this city is. Coming back to the city, after a trip to smaller towns in Asia, feels like time travel. If you want a glimpse into what the future could look like, visit Singapore. Once the sense of awe subsides - it does keep coming back…
All thanks to Winters: I'm basking in sun while writing this. Sun's warmth feels too heavenly these days. My society's ground is filled with people, majorly grannies with their grand kids. Every person present here has come down of their matchboxes to soak in some Vit-D. I can see so many teletubbies having fun,…
What’s more intimidating for a writer than a staring contest with the invisible question mark on a blank page? Not much. A simple solution is to prep the page. I start with to prepping the environment as well. Here are the seven steps I take at the end of the day: I place my journal and pen where I plan to journal in…
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…
To be not listening to breakup songs Put yourself into position that will not let you feel deep into your own sorrow That’s pretty stupid Think of everyone else - why do Elon Musk and some successful people can achieve so much Because they do not fell into the bug feeling melancholic emotions There’s so much other…
I keep having these moments of insight that bring a sort of relief but are quickly trivialized by the judgmental critic within. It's the same voice that has discouraged me from writing or sharing much of anything anywhere, with anyone. (Here's to victory 1 and knocking out my publish goal for 2026 as early as…
as for the history of black amerikka, they are & have been in plain sight. over the last 500 years, we just did not have on the correct lenses to see the whips & chains evolving. the programming that took place over 500 years ago during the creating of amerikka worked so well that we don't even know what went on with…
Today, in the book store I couldn't stop myself from looking at art and design books, from interior design, botanical sketches to oil paintings, my eyes just felt like a magnet towards them, they were full of potential for design inspirations, right now I have a huge urge to create something, make projects, but I…
You're a man, 1. Wake up early. 2. Pray. 3. Make your bed. 4. Brush your teeth. 5. Drink a glass of water. 6. Review your to-do list. 7. Meditate. 8. Read. 9. Write. 10. Lift. 11. Stay sober. 12. Increase your income. Nothing hurts a man like zero progress in his life.
The reason people are mentally and physically ill are usually social and economic. People need friends and a feeling of belonging. They need a sense of purpose. Financial security. A safe home and hope for the future. I read a story about a group of lonely, anxious strangers who were tasked with restoring a park over…
- Continued from part I America is a dream in a different way. It’s been over 7 years since I moved here. Looking at my life now, I’ve done pretty well for myself. I have a stable job, a solid group of friends, a long term home for the first time in this country. I’m lucky enough to not grapple with visas and have…
Sometimes, I find myself self-critical over my apparent lack of focus, worrying that my broad range of interests doesn't get me anywhere. "Business Idea Factory" by Andrii Sedniev has helped me see the value in my widespread curiosity. The book highlights that exposure to diverse experiences is not just beneficial but…
hearts are complicated organs. when i wanted to become a surgeon, i knew i'd choose neurosurgery. there was something - something i haven't still defined - something the world hasn't yet uncovered - that makes a mind make a heart. complicated, isn't it? we look for answers where we know there are none. we wait when we…
To be as close to being 100% authentically yourself as possible. It's a small observation that I've seen in any domain that I really dabbled into. When I was in cegep and was pretty big into fashion, you would always start copying others, but the goal was always to "find your own style." To know what you love wearing…
i've been talking to a newish friend a lot lately and i am getting oversaturated with him! SATT. gnuag g'ha he is great in some ways; tenacity of spirit, willingness to try, writes great music but my god i know other people with spirit, willingness and talent and who ALSO have verbal intelligence and philosophical…
Your heart beats fast as you anticipate the dopamine. Rendering. Loading. At last: Look at all that engagement in others' timelines: "if only I could be so influential!" But then, that dreadful feeling: the uncertainty, fear, and doubt The last time you posted something, it was crickets and dropped pins "Am I the only…
I remember I started writing blog posts about 13 years ago, during my gap year when I was preparing for my university entrance exam, kind of like the SAT. But when one of my college friends found my blog, I suddenly felt so embarrassed that someone I knew had read it. I ended up deleting the whole thing. At the time I…
Where is home? Where does one belong? This may be a simple question to answer for those who have lived in the same place all their lives. But what about those of us who have hopped, skipped and jumped to new places looking for new adventures? Where is home for those who have chosen to wander? For some, home is what…
Walking around the space where Im gonna spend these couple years, what was once a dream and now its's reality, it's something that I still can not process and it feels that I'm a impostor. Not because I don't think I belong here, but just because I never thought I would had gotten here a couple years ago. I hope that…
You enter the cage alone. Whatever happens within, you and only you are responsible. Athletes do have teams and coaches. But when the door closes you are alone. Your team can shout instructions, but you are the only one at war. You need to enter the fire alone. To be a combat athlete, you need to mentally strong.…
What inspires change? Knowledge Fear Hope Knowledge inspires change by opening our eyes to what is, what could be, and what is likely to be. We can then imagine what it might look and feel like to play out those scenarios. Knowledge usually sparks either fear or hope. Maybe you can’t have one without the other? Both…
The most common productivity hinderer is social media. It's effortless, brainless and in some cases harmless. But it's also one more thing which we usually forget- useless. We watch hundreds of posts, scroll through so many videos in a single day and are bombarded with so many information in a single day that it…
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…
- at the group meeting we were going back to the same state for the holidays, bonding over public transport - at the holiday party chatting about vampires (i go on a 10 minute tangent about iwtv); we decide we should hang on 1:1 before declaring each other friends; bit about me being a 206 year old vampire - at the…
Tengo una conexión muy fuerte con las bicicletas, en 2015 fundé mi primer estudio de diseño de productos. El concepto de mi estudio era crear productos especialmente para la industria del ciclismo. Mi sensei (DEP) tenía pegado en su laboratorio/taller un poster con la imagen de una abeja, y en el pie del poster tenía…
Let me first explain describe the situation - I have plans and things I want to do, they are not that hard to do but for some reason, I just cannot take the first step. Laziness, procrastination, being too comfortable, lack of desire of doing the thing that I thought I wanted, burnout, lack of discipline - the actual…
Hoje eu voltei a trabalhar. Bom ter rotina, sou grata. Em meio às notícias de invasão da Venezuela e sequestro do Maduro, fiquei apreensiva, mas tem coisas que só esperar pra ver. Outras, que nem vendo a gente acredita. Flashbacks do Iraque inundaram meus pensamentos. Gritos internos pedindo para que alguém com mais…
I recently came across Anna Lembke's content on YouTube & tapped into my hitherto latent interest in the neurochemistry of pain and pleasure. Fun fact: pleasure & pain circuits in the brain are co-located, i.e., the same part of the brain processes both pain and pleasure. Anyway... I had often caught myself…
