Research shows that most New Year’s plans fall by the wayside around February 19th. My plans didn’t go any better this year, just like the previous ones. My goal was to write 500 words of fiction every day, read for 30 minutes, record and post a vlog, not eat refined food and run 15 minutes 3 times a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday). If I succeeded in everything, I would mark it in green, if
“Novelists sit cloistered in their rooms, intently fiddling with words, batting around one possibility after another. They may scratch their heads an entire day to improve the quality of a single line by a tiny bit. No one applauds, or says ‘Well done,’ or pats them on the back. Sitting there alone, they look over what they’ve accomplished and quietly nod to themselves. It may be that later, when the novel comes out, not a
Are you supposed to have dreams at 36? Isn’t that for children? Wasn’t that supposed to be killed in primary school where they teach you what you should do and how you should do it? What about us who don’t fit into that mold and who still think that this world has more to offer than show up at work, show up at home, get paid once a month, repeat? We don’t belong to the
Are there human relations without critique? The critique rarely says anything about you. Instead, it gives away a lot about the critic’s perception of you, or about their perception of something you did or failed to do. If your actions are always rightful, there is nothing to worry about because you know you did exactly what needed to be done. That’s why it’s important knowing what’s right and acting in the right manner. People will
According to Jordan B Peterson, if you want to change yourself, pick one thing that you want to improve and work on it until you’re satisfied. When picking that one thing, you need to think carefully; you might want to think how important that thing is, because changing your hairstyle probably won’t do any good to you, but changing your time management skills will definitely have a huge impact on your life. And, time management
For the past 8 years, I’ve been trying to finish my novel. It would be reasonable to spend that much time working if I were writing my first novel, but the fact is that I can’t finish the second one. If it was the first, it could simply be justified with me not knowing how to write a novel. But I know I know how to write it. I have the evidence. It’s right there,
Each morning, I get to ask the same question – What do I want to do today? Having the infinite options is way more paralyzing than having just one. Even having five or six options can put you in an endless loop of choosing what seems to be the wrong thing. One day, I want to write fiction, but then when I sit down to read what I’ve written previously, it seems so lame and
When I look at some of the older videos on this channel, I can notice that I was complaining a lot. I didn’t like my job; I didn’t like pandemic measures; I didn’t like China; I didn’t like the weather, the traffic, the noise, my income, my gear, my YT videos, my writing… I liked nothing at all, and I used my camera to complain about it all. But, that wasn’t the end. I used
When we agree to do something, and I give you a hand, and you fail to keep promise, not because you didn’t have the resources, or the man power, but you simply failed to due to your recklessness, irresponsibility and procrastination, things which are closely related, when that happens, who is to blame? It’s easy to put the blame on someone else, but if we did everything we could and the other side still fails
is the most important activity in a day. Imagine how stupid nature would be if it had made us spend the third of our lives doing something completely unnecessary or even moderately important. Two main goals for living beings are to reproduce and survive and sleep is one of these things that helps us survive. Yes, we are vulnerable during sleep and predators can’t kill us without any problems, but that’s why we evolved to
