A world of little thoughts.

I don't know where to start. For some reason I find this medium intriguing. I only found it a few days ago, but can't remember where now. I feel like I am going to need a few accounts. I would love to have one that is totally anonymous. I'll fess up to this one at least. I don't even know how long 300 words is. I…
I was sitting around and doing some work, and it hit me. This is the best feeling there is. It's the height of existence. Paradoxically, it's the opposite of what we all chase. Everyone wants the easy wins and the pleasures of life. Successful people say they miss the times they had to struggle. What hit me was a…
O ano novo começou em companhia da minha amiga querida Jessica. Pisciana sincerona, vaidosa, generosa e cheia de sonhos, como eu. Falamos mt sobre esses desejos, escrevi alguns em um caderno de folhas brancas onde também tem os últimos quadrados de 2022. Tínhamos planos de cozinhar, mas topamos com todos os mercados…
Emotionally-charged, moralizing content wins the virality lottery most often: - For each "moral-emotional word" used, content receives between 17-24% more engagement. - Moral anger and disgust increase virality across the political spectrum. - Content that’s written in more divisive, inflammatory language is…
It's strange that people think low of people who are vulnerable yet hold vulnerability as a virtue in high regard. Double standards.
I vividly remember my mother's outburst in the summer of 2013 when I ran away from a Bangalore internship within five days of joining. She was angry at my incompetency to stick to a job. She compared me to neighbours who settled in soulless jobs. Her disbelief in my post-graduate design education fueled my own anger.…
A simple answer is - because I want to learn how to do things in and around a website. A no-code website of growcket will be a playground for me to experiment and practice a lot of things like: 1. SEO - How can I rank my website higher than existing ones. 2. Content - Practice of writing. 3. Insights - What type of…
Back in a place that used to be home. The first time staying in a hotel. The city seems new, distant, and yet I know it so intimately…
Humans have a tendency to over-imitate and copy people of high status, in order to gain prestige, knowledge and skills. This is why people often imitate the habits of successful people, such as the morning routine they follow. However, it is wise to be cautious before blindly imitating others, as success takes more…
Louis Pereira's perceptive post on not trusting intuition reminded me of something. (https://nicheless.blog/post/disregarding-intuition) A dear friend once told me that when someone close - friend, family, colleague - says to him: "read that book, its just your type of writing," or "think about taking up tango…
Dreams of fortunes, inside towers tall, Deaf ears drown inner calls. Fancy house, a high-rise view, For fleeting praise i chose to pursue. My youth traded for suits and ties, Seeking my worth in some other's eyes. Dawn to dusk in office halls, Sleepless nights inside mansion walls Through sleepless nights and silent…
Persist, For this cloud too Shall pass. Well, what can I say except that I have old school work ethic. But this mindset is certainly rewarding - not necessarily in terms of material success, but certainly in terms of mental peace. Persistence. To persist is to stay on despite the odds. Persistence derives its energy…
As I see myself on pictures I’m not happy with how I look. I been self aware that i’m a big boy and have been all my life, only take action as if was seasonal work and don’t commit to myself. Looking at this picture really makes me reflect a lot on my bad habits and how I’m really just poisoning myself.. I don’t have…
Often, I am exasperated by the number of people asking for recommendations on Twitter. The recommendations for skin care, wearable devices, or poll questions asking this or that get a free pass. Those aren't as annoying or unnecessary. But anything to do with books to read, music to listen to, shows to watch, and…
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…
Assistindo a um documentário sobre invenções que nos poupam tempo (ou não), pensei em viagens no tempo, e em como estamos viajando no tempo, mas apenas em uma direção: para o futuro. É uma viagem contínua, sem volta, e cada segundo que passou foi aproveitado ou perdido. Mas como julgamos se estamos aproveitando ou…
They say that not a single person on the planet can make something as simple as a pencil. The creation of a pencil - from the lead to the wood - is the culmination of a grand orchestra of people working together. Very few of them were were actively trying to make a pencil, but it's the collective effort that…
I'm almost 51 and my body has taken this fifth decade to declare that it requires attention, consistent healthy habits and quite possibly some medication to prop up the system.
Fui a um brunch muito chique à beira do rio Spree com um amigo. Coloquei um vestido bonito e um casaco tão pomposo quanto parecia ser o evento. O lugar era moderno, uma construção recente no meio de uma área industrial decadente. Chegamos às 13h35. Encontrei um conhecido na entrada do jardim. Depois uma amiga que…
We are all but pawns in someone's game of life. When we have absolutely no control over some things, the only thing we can resort to is to take a deep breath, sit and back and let the future unfold. There is no point putting the heart and mind to strife.
These are the first words I've written in many months. I've been thinking about why this is the case, and part of it might have to do with fear. I'm afraid of not being able to do it well. But there's something more there. I think I'm afraid because I believe I might have some type of cognitive decline. That was…
Being an introvert is not often a bad thing, especially in later stages in life. It becomes arduous to find people you can relate to and be comfortable around. It is either because everyone changes from being naive. Or it is because we just happen to interact with a lot more people to which we aren't habituated.…
I was about 11-12 I think when I first fell in love. I’ve fallen in love many times since. They say first love lasts forever, true to an extent. Then you have the second love which hits even harder than the first and you think this is it. We are gonna make it. Only to have it all come crashing down. I’ve seen the pack…
TIME BANK At any instant, the present moment is all you truly possess. Your balance in the TIME bank will never exceed one moment— for the future is yet to be deposited, and the past has already been spent. What remains is only now. Spend it with care.....
I‘m thankful for all the beautiful people I have in my life. I‘m grateful for all the amazing experiences I have made so far. I love being me. I truly appreciate all of this.
Listen to more podcast. W.o.w just Be more accepting. The charismatic people are usually competent - but doesn’t necessarily means JUST smart. It means knowing the stuff but knowing how to convey as well. It’s good to have the ability to stop 🛑 1. 2. 3. But within these 3 seconds you’re actually buying time to…
burada yazılan konular belkide çok özel çok kişisel, kimin neyi ne zaman okduğu vb belli değil. sosyal bir deney gibi, yani yayınlaya bastığım anda her şey yayında olacak. böyle yani. bu mu?
the problem with creative writing is that it messes with your "serious" writing. when you're in creative mode, you can do whatever you want. there are no rules. you can get away with a hand-wavy explanation of something under the guise of being an artist or whatever. it's not that creative writing doesn't have well…
Todd Rose, director of Harvard's Mind, Body and Education program, and computational neuroscientist Ogi Ogas set out to understand why some people had fulfilling, successful careers. 45 of the first 50 people they interviewed had unusually winding career paths. They were embarrassed about how they jumped from one…

Thanks to the generous human beings like Tarra sharing their own knowledge-making and knowledge management journeys in LYT. I continue to extract my thoughts about Legacy PKM. Because of sharing in the LYT community, thoughts that have been evolving for more than two years are being further sparked. Ryuichi Sakamoto I…
Airport Arrival Terminals are a places filled with joy. Families and friends reconnecting, giving each other a warm hug and a kiss. Some, weirdly enough, spraying hand sanitizers as soon as possible. People stand waiting behind a railing waiting to get a glimpse of their loved ones, and as soon as they see them, their…
I got off track today. I intended to concentrate on two items I prioritized. But somewhere along the way, I thought about cooking dinner. Suddenly, I was looking at new recipes. I love to cook. Tomorrow, I’ll employ a journaling strategy to stay on track before going down rabbit holes. I'll use my journal to obtain…
as I write this, there is a meeting going on in the background. Someone is saying something, and others are writing. Most are pretending to listen while they browse the internet on their laptops. Meanwhile, our client on the 56-inch LED screen continues to talk about the product. This is not the first time I am seeing…
"Finish something. Anything. Stop researching, planning, and preparing to do the work and just do the work. It doesn’t matter how good or how bad it is. You don’t need to set the world on fire with your first try. You just need to prove to yourself that you have what it takes to produce something. There are no…
Storytelling is one of the oldest pastimes. Growing up you look forward to hearing stories from your parents or grandparents. Once we grow up, we enjoy stories through various mediums like books, movies, TV shows, oral accounts, news, etc. This led me to think, what is the best way to experience a story? What would…
The Joker rises above all other villains because he does not want anything. Every villain wants something: -Power. -Respect. -Revenge. -Love. -Wealth. The Joker wants nothing. Can you imagine encountering someone like him at your college? or your office? or your neighbourhood? Someone hellbent on destroying the…
I am the type who like analogies. I understand things better with analogies. I am aware that this type of thinking is not dynamic, and perhaps out of touch with reality. But as a thought exercise i enjoy doing this in my head. sometimes it helps me avoid bad startup ideas outright. And many times it makes me believe a…
Okay, it's 2022 and i'm 45 y/o and i still don't know what i want to do with my life. I wonder if surviving and not to be a burden is good enough goals.
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…
We like to think of ourselves as rational decision-makers who are persuaded to accept arguments and ideas on the basis of logical merit. This is laughably divergent from how things really work. The idea itself that humans are rational decision-makers has no basis in empirical observation; it is just some wishful…
Amazing how a simple thing like going to a new gym can cause such a torrent of thoughts in my mind. During the Holidays and the worst of the winter, many gyms, included the one I go, work reduced hours and/or not opening in the weekends. Clients are invited to use the network and go to the ones that remain with…

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…
It was like running downhill. The plan was to be slow and steady. I found myself picking up momentum the further I ran. Or, in my case, the more I journaled. I thought journaling gratitude would be enough to carry me for the rest of my days. But I talked to other journalists. I read about journaling. What benefits…
Ahh i don't think we will ever see a way permanently remove 'bad' actors from our worlds. one one side of the venn diagram we have the 'good' actor, on the other 'bad' actor, the position intersecting both is our utopia. i question what will it look like...
门当户对 - it's the relationship / survival skills. You did have love with YQ but it doesn't work in the end But if you're not - you gotta work hard to get there -------------- Because never compare. There's so much things that you can do when you're single. Focus on something that you won't regret You think you will…
