I’ve seen „Stand by Me” (1986). Some ideas, based on it?
Language: English
The purpose of studying
When I was young, it wasn’t clear to me why I should learn and get good grades. I got them, but their purpose was unclear.
I think I was a good student, at times much better than the average, but, as you can expect, there was still some room left to get even better.
When I was very young, I had lots of time. There was little to no guidance on what I should do with that time.
Judging persons vs. opinions
An Ad hominem is an argument in one combats the person and not an idea that the person holds. It seems bad, doesn’t it? What if there were exceptions to it?

I’ve seen Celtic Tiger Live on The Shows Must Go On! (via Andrew Lloyd Webber). Some thoughts?

On the Pareto Principle
The Pareto Principle is, in my opinion, at times, poorly understood. Let me detail a bit.
On cancelling accounts
Sometimes, it may be more difficult to cancel an account. See for yourself in this album ».
„Could you give me an example?” – a question that’s more powerful than you may initially think
Sometimes, you might hear, during a job interview, or talk with a psychologist, or just a friendly chat – „Could you give me an example?”.
At first, when I used to hear this question, it felt silly – „It’s just an example, it doesn’t mean much”. After some thinking, I got to the opposite conclusion. Why is that?
Young thinking vs. Adult thinking
I was once in an online forum, and a lady in there once said something similar to this: „You person X, are young. You have certainties, you know for sure. You’ll see, as you’ll grow older, that things tend to balance, that there are grey areas, that options come in multiple ways, that sometimes thinking A is a good option, while in other circumstances thinking non-A, the opposite of A, is a good option, also. You’ll find out that options are flexible, and there are multiple solutions on the table, not just one”.
I liked that, thus I remembered it all these years, but at first I didn’t agree with this.
Let me tell you a story, first, and then come up with some conclusions.
