When people talk about you is because you’re doing something — whether good or bad, that’s up to you. If it’s the latter, why bother fighting back if you know you’ve done something bad or wrong? Lose no time arguing and use that time to fix it or improve so future times are better. Similarly, when people … Continue reading Why bother

To be a good one
We weren’t born being a good person, or good at anything to be honest. We have learned on our way with methods such as trial and failing, formal and informal education, books and videos, and especially from people that have crossed our path. Nobody was born being a good person, student, teacher, instructor, runner, sports … Continue reading To be a good one
Experimenting life
As a human being, I treat my body and life as a laboratory and run self-experiments quite often — most of them have kept going for weeks, months, and even years! I’ve experimented with cold showers, eating habits, finances, optimizing gym workout routine times/week, writing (this), reading, programming, running, traveling solo with no plans, and most recently … Continue reading Experimenting life
Everybody wins, everybody loses
That’s what teamwork is all about. A group of people who trust and keeps each other accountable working together to achieve one common goal. When this is true, egos should be checked out at the door, so the team can eventually accomplish its peak performance. And no matter what the results are, the whole team … Continue reading Everybody wins, everybody loses
Taking breaks
Taking breaks is never a bad idea or a wrong choice. Take a break from whatever you’re doing. It’ll do you good.
Angry at what?
You can get angry anytime because of anything — either at something or someone. You can decide to show it or hide it, but anger is still there. It’s within you. Have you thought where anger could lead you to, what would you achieve by being angry, or how you look like when you’re in this state? … Continue reading Angry at what?
Who cares?
We should care. It’s our life. How can we make life more sustainable and optimized, less dramatic and problematic, and more fun and interesting? It’s up to us. Perhaps begin with some healthy habits like not falling under the 80-hour workweek trap, sleeping 7–8 hours per night, eating healthy, doing some kind of exercise regularly, … Continue reading Who cares?
FOMO
What’s the opposite of FOMO? Could it be EFMO (Enjoyment From Missing Out)? Lately, I’ve felt enjoyment from missing out on some events simply because I want to enjoy/take time for personal and career growth, as well as spending some time around family. I don’t think there’s anything wrong or bad about it. Do you? … Continue reading FOMO
Time
Our perception and notion of time has become this limited thing hanging around our mind most, if not all day. We think and act like the Apocalypse is coming soon. I understand time is scarce and it’s our most personal asset, the one we can’t produce more of. We have this notion that everything is … Continue reading Time
Monkey do
Monkey see, monkey do. But does monkey think? It’d be interesting to see these species rethinking things, going back to first principles and inventing new things, but I guess it’s all part of a crazy unrealistic reality because I’m reading Sapiens. Nothing else.
