Gathering thoughts…
A world of little thoughts.
In what world are we living, where instead of being present in our environment, we are looking at ourselves through our phone screens? Yesterday, I saw an amazing sunset in its different stages: peaking through the clouds, reflecting in the water and creating a golden path, and then fading into a soft afterglow. I…
Recently, I have been applying my method for learning Chinese characters to my university studies (well to my final degree exam). It's funny that I'm only starting to use it now that I've finished all my courses, but it's never too late to implement this technique in other subjects. I always thought that with my…
How to get attracted is to be interesting - study the material and know the content Not aiming to play with words or being superficial like looks etc… Be interesting means reading more about it, actually infuse and understand it, being in the moment to joke around You wanted to be original & you don’t want to copy…
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi says flow is the secret to happiness. I agree. Not just because we were born in the same city (but not in the same country — Europe is fun like that sometimes). I feel great when I achieve a state of flow. There’s no self-doubt or bad ideas. Creative juices are flowing, and I lose my sense of…
it's so easy to take our greatest strengths for granted simply because they come naturally to us. and conversely, to normalize behavior that simply conforms to our surroundings. without stopping to ask the hard questions - to quiet the constant noise begging us to react to it, to be fiercely autonomous, it's easy to…
Hoje eu comecei meu dia um pouco mais tarde. Era 9h e eu ainda estava preparando para tomar banho. Fui bem devagar e bela para um brunch no Copa Cozinha enquanto eu participava do clube do livro. Esse não era o plano. Eu parei antes no café bonjour PORÉM gente eu me recuso a pagar 20 reais num cafezinho só porque…
Hello World. There's a few areas in my life that I'd like to grow and evolve. Recently, I've been on a personal development journey on and off for the past two years. I happened to find this site on Twitter a few days ago and I was intrigued. In this chapter of my life, I would like to document my journey along the…
why is it so hard to communicate and be understood? i feel like this is the hardest thing we have to do as humans.
Elon Musk said: "Love is the way, no matter what." For a man with four wives and twelve children, it may seem easy to say such a thing, but after giving it solid thought, he is true. Love is an intrinsic craving for every individual; if you were to ask anyone, they would undoubtedly recount their experiences with…
Historically, overly-extractive business models eventually face pressure from the public, shareholders, and regulators. Once-unstoppable cigarette companies have been forced to pay the public health costs of their products and fund billion-dollar anti-smoking marketing campaigns. The market conditions for renewable…
A good quote seen today: “You can’t go back and change the past But you can start today and change the ending” You’re kind, But just not daring and brave enough You could be more achievable If you’re more daring to think through Not stuck into some thoughts by thinking: I don’t think you can
The self-help genre is the second most addicting substance that is fully legal in the world. In case you’re wondering, coffee is first by a long mile. The self-help industry is worth over 10 billion dollars, and I imagine will continue to grow as we search for more answers on how to improve. We read books and listen…
As a certified foodie, I rarely pass on an opportunity to celebrate a life event which does not involve food! So when a long overdue conversation with a friend turns into a call where she tells me about her daughter's plan to get married, albeit with six weeks notice, I figure the Mother of the Bride could do with a…
Having had a long period where I had no energy or interest in tinkering with any side-projects, the energy now seems to return. Perhaps it is a reflection of a better state of mind. Perhaps it is a reflection of winter in the Northern hemisphere and hence less daylight, but nevertheless the fact remains that I have…
(literally 100 whole metric tons consisting only of $100 bills) i would: - buy forests/jungles/islands (as well as politicians) and declare these areas "protected national parks" - buy land that's currently being used for cultivating palm oil and mining lithium/etc. and reforest them, reintroduce native plants and…
a new day is here nothing can be assumed no one knows the way ( some claim to know and take the lead ) the fog is impossible and the journey so long but we get up and walk the only thing we can do
Mais uma rede social? Mais uma "plataforma"? Pois é, eu me defini como um "arroz de festa" em uma conversa, alguns dias atrás. Toda rede social ou plataforma de comunicação que aparece eu tenho curiosidade de conhecer e experimentar. No fim, acabo usando mesmo só umas poucas, e cada vez mais raramente. Mas quando tive…
DAY 1/90 - 16:00 My loved ones seem to have reduced hope in me? just feels that way, I cried a lot till I was tired of crying. The atmosphere feels so strange. I am really really broke and will be having only 2 meals this week till my salary gets credited. I am back to feeling pathetic and numb. Gonna to a 3 month…
6h da manhã e ainda estou bêbada de chandon e tendo uma jornada aqui no vaso da casa de praia. Meu cunhado casou ontem e eu adoro casamentos, mesmo odiando. É de uma contradição, mas explico. Adoro pela vibe das pessoas, todo mundo se arruma e obrigatoriamente fica feliz. É bom pra rever gente legal também e dançar…
I‘m really bad at finishing something significantly earlier than the deadline. One reason for that is procrastination - I just need this hard deadline in order to get going. I work best under pressure. Another reason is perfectionism. Often, I just can’t stop overthinking and fine-tuning something. Thus can be a good…
Started playing Dungeons & Dragons again and Im easing back into being a dungeon master, something I enjoyed as a child. There are two big challenges: Preparation time and wielding narrative tension The reality of playing DnD as an adult is that time is scarce. And preping for a game as a Dungeon master takes up a lot…
I hardly remember when did I attend a full day classes of my college. For the past 9 months, I was a part of a start-up in fin-tech domain. But due to rookie mistakes, they dried up and thus I had to get another internship to pay EMIs of my new I-phone (Aah! What a motivation to work). So, two days back I joined…
Think while do, but do more than think - is what a youthful soul would do Join more events meet more people do not be afraid nobody can bring you down except yourself Energy levels - always want to know the latest updates Not afraid of asking questions Knowing that eventually it will go to you Knowing the latest…
As a man, a husband, in my forties, who has moved more than 5 times in my life and had to get a new collection of local friends, one piece of advice I wish I could give myself is: never is an opportunity to "get real" with someone. When folks ask: "how's it going?" the reflex is to keep the response as shallow as…
I got a lot into productivity over the last few years. Trying desperately to be productive. Following all hacks and methods. But there's a theory, the more consciously you try to improve something, the worse you are at it. Imagine you are driving, if you consciously try to drive better, your brain turns off auto-pilot…
Do things you think are stupid but other people swear by. Maybe you’re the stupid one. - Nat Eliason I fought the recommendation to journaling. Now I know everyone should. If you want to start small with a journaling habit, start with gratitude. Here are the benefits you can expect. Identifying what you have, allows…
Skyggene gjør seg alltid større enn de er. Mørket tåler nesten ingenting. Det går i stykker av litt lys.
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…
Sleep is my most important resource. On average I need around 8,5 hours of effective sleep. More than other people. Without it, I struggle through the day, with everything from thinking clearly to staying motivated becoming a challenge. And I am also quite sensitive to sleep deprivation - feeling symptoms of cold and…
Since 2020, I had been on a steady tech detox, a la Cal Newport. I switchd to DuckDuckGo, I traded my android for a feature phone, I started writing notes by hand. And in cursive! It was beautiful, I was present. No "Power of Now" needed. I could take my kids to the playground and be perfectly happy with my face in…
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…
Why is it that you see most of the philosophers talking about high performance rarely act upon them and are high performers? Philosophers tend to romanticise life in their heads and yet dont see the beauty of the world they live in. Here, is something to note that I have read some of the works of alan watts, Jiddu…
Alright this is the second time in a row that I forgot to write I did not create the time block I talked about.But, no more excuses. I'm doing it right away to remind me everyday to write at 9.30pm. Right now when I'm thinking about what to write here, there are a thousand ideas swimming in my mind. Rather than…
I got early access to Post.News last night. The platform is still in infancy like this platform. Because there is an "everyone" feed by default, the product concept of finding/sharing critical news and supporting quality journalism or creators is falling thru the cracks. But, it is supposed to be a social platform at…
i just read an article about forks being the least famous and favoured utensil compared to its mates knives and spoons. it's not even about the topic that intrigues me. it's about knowing this fact now when it already feels so natural for us to use this thing, like it is an extension of our body when we eat. however,…
Monsoon, a season of rains. Its brings with itself a celebration, A season when you feel relaxed just with the sound of pitter patter when it hits the ground. A season of treat to watch peacock dance A season when the air is ripe with the earthy smell which feels so divine. A season that teach the art of letting go…
Apple is about to have their own on-devices AI that will improve UX. I believe this will be another inflation point for Smartphone cycles. A lot of function no longer requires sending over to the server, things such as Voice Message from any Apps such as Whatsapp to Telegram being transcribed into Text on Devices.…
To be influencing And effective in your words The smartest/dumbest person would do when someone point his pain point to you is straight to to his pain point and talk about that point Side him first “I understand! He’s so COPYCAT like omg I can’t believed what he did” “But…” “Have you thought of talking to him about…
There's few things I like more than a late night. There's few things I enjoy more than time with friends. There's few things I want more than to be someone. There's few things I need more than to stay healthy. There's few things I feel more than a need for money. There's few things I miss more than an adventure.…
Do not have a backup plan Try things more radical Drop out or do something that is more extreme You’ll perform better Just trust your ability of your brain You’ll be surprised where that would take you And I think you found it by being an archi coordinator in K You did achieve amazing things by trusting yourself Don’t…
Another one from The Underground Press: === anon8858 The official date and location for the upcoming public appearance of General Federico Rodriguez were announced this morning. As usual, we expect the government to use a lot of acarreados to simulate a massive turnout. After two years of hiding from the public, we…
Not really sure what to write here. Just checking this website out. I'm thinking of using this more if I find it fancy, as I don't really have the habit of writing and I'm sort of thinking about getting into it. Peace out.
I've been wanting to write regularly for a bit now but haven't started. I don't know if I things worth saying is part of the reason. Other is procrastination. I hope no one reads these for a bit. It's odd when you realise people you know in real life follow your twitter and you do wtf. dont. Something like that ig.…
Remember those boxy robots from a couple of decades ago? The ones that spoke to humans and passed witty quips? I remember being so hooked to it that I'd have given an arm for that experience as a kid. Safe to say, we fell rather short in our attempt to make that a reality. We used the language of computers aka logic,…
The startup journey is full of hidden traps that can destroy even the most promising companies. I've seen too many talented founders fall into these psychological pitfalls that silently kill startups from within. This happened with myself during a certain phase and thankfully a coach held the mirror. These aren't the…
When I started my writing journey, consistency was the goal. With consistency, practice is inevitable. What are you practicing? I consider these three elements: The basics - My process, the headline, and the outline are my basics. I need those before I can produce a quality piece of writing. If I'm not careful, I…
Let me hold you a little longer Let me pretend you're mine to keep Let me tell you " I Love You " ever and forever again.
I like how Nicheless just has this whole, "I am a blank page and I dare you to write something on me," vibe to it.
