Cost of feeling right

Sometimes we are so obsessed about others doing the right thing, we hurl poison into them. At that point we ourselves have done the wrong thing. Always consider the cost of being right. It may cost relationships.

Misunderstood Change

Revolutions can only happen for the sake of solving oppression. Nobody knows what will happen after, which is why a lot of revolutions seems to have failed. The primary objectives need to be extremely clear. Other oppressions will possibly develop, so it’s best to consider this possibility.

Credit Card Mania

When we use the credit card, we are actually giving away information. This information is not very valuable once off, but over time it tells a big story. If they made credit cards hard to use, it will be very easy to resist it.

Make something dead easy to use. People will then make their own excuses to use it.

Importance of sleep

Sleep gives us more energy to alter our behaviour. We all have some automatic reflexes which are waiting to kick in depending on the stimulus. Not every reaction is desirable and it is always best to stop for a second and observe the thought process. Without energy we will conserve this and our actions may have poor repercussions.

Get more sleep. It’s worth it.

Network Effects

If you can find something on the internet, chances are other people have found it too. This therefore should not be a basis for thinking you have outsmarted others.

The internet has connected us for good and for had. We can hope to present information differently. Just don’t bet on being the first one to hear about it.

Good enough is better than perfect

New initiatives and new ideas. What do they have in common? They are scary to act on. They could fail at any moment. They will reveal our shortcoming and leave us a nasty taste. Or does it have to?

The ironic thing is that even if something is made perfect in our eyes it may still be inadequate for the real world. This means the pain will be deeper because we have made even more effort come undone.

Get it started and moving and disregard perfection. Let life take its course naturally and you will be positive surprised.

Can it be done

If you give reasons why it cannot be done, it immediately relieves tensions of expectations. However this also comes as a form of demotivation. Some of the greatest feats of mankind have been achieved by focusing on the possible.

Don’t say you cannot do it. Just ask for the resources to complete.

Fear of Judgement

We are constantly surrounded by people at every moment. Even when we are not, people do think about you. It is impossible to fully hide yourself, and to make attempts to do that is to stop living.

The beginning of living a true life is to worry less about what other people think.

Data Paralysis

These days there is too much data to analyse. You can argue any angle of a story, there will be data to support it. It used to be a dream to have so much data. However, I think we have reached a paralysis point.

Try researching about anything. Try to be as comprehensive about things. You will be overwhelmed. To finish the task, you will be biased to the angle you want.

This is how speculation starts. This is why we shouldn’t blame others decisions. Sometimes we just need to get along with things without falling back on unlimited data. Because the world is only going to get worse.
