You are here. You are influenced. You get conditioned. You can only be influenced to the extent to which you are empty. (You can only be sensitive to the extent to which you are empty.) When you have became conditioned – you cease being pliable. When you’re full (of knowledge, beliefs, conclusions, thoughts), …

Value and Consequences
Why is this “success” thing so convoluted and enshrouded in mystery? There’s plenty uncertainty and unknown in life. Doesn’t matter. You don’t have to be certain. You only need to be pretty sure. I’m pretty sure there are consequences. Can you produce value? Can you give value? What are the consequences of producing …
Shitty Life Is Not a Challenge
Shitty life is not a challenge. Being miserable is not admirable. Hard work makes your life hard. Hard life is a hard experience. And then you die. Your ambition to BE SOMETHING fooled you. You die. Today, tomorrow, in a week, in a month, in a year, in 50 years. No one …
The Importance Of Luck
One who underestimates the importance of luck will also overestimate the importance of certainty. One who overvalues the importance of certainty is the one who doesn’t take enough risks. One who doesn’t take enough risks is the one missing on the best opportunities
There’s An Abyss Between Good-Enough And Not-Good-Enough
There’s an ABYSS between competent and incompetent. Acceptable and unacceptable. Good-enough and not-good-enough. Upon failure you degrade yourself. Upon victory you burst with pride. So much arrogance over something you barely control. Only the best are “good enough”. Only the worst are “not good enough”. Everyone else is welcome on this wheel of …
Do You Believe It Or Do You Want To Believe It?

Look At The Intelligent
Our natural instinct is to look for ways to confirm our previous beliefs. It’s called confirmation bias. In fact it is not entirely useless. If we can find circumstances in which our beliefs are true – they practically become true. Pragmatically, your beliefs render you positive results. But for those of us concerned not …
When You’re Not Looking For Solutions — You Find Ideas
When you’re not looking for solutions — you find ideas. When you’re looking for solutions — your vision is constrained by the question you have asked. Question you now feel compelled to answer. You have a certain problem, certain question, and you must solve it. There are many ways of reaching the solution. There …
You May Not Change For The Better But You CAN Always Change
“Changing for better”, the ultimate delusion. what is better? how do you know it’s better? perhaps it will be your undoing. Perhaps you will be murdered for that money. Perhaps the responsibility of that position will kill you. Perhaps you won’t be able to live without that person. Perhaps you won’t know what to …
Anything Is Possible — And It Has Nothing To Do With Your “Dreams”
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS POSSIBLE. Not a clue. Wishful thinking or sceptical – you have no idea. You sceptics are not really sceptical. You should be sceptical about what you deem impossible. You should be more open to the UNBELIEVABLE POSSIBILITIES. We all underestimate what is possible. Dreaming, fantasising, wishful-thinking, …
