Sometimes, I use tools that ask me to go back online 24 hours from now.
These tools can be sooooo annoying. I understandand something like “Tomorrow the limit will be lifted”.
But to wait exactly 24 hours from now – this is really annoying.
I don’t like this at all.
A tip I often meet about time management – you should only reply to emails once or twice a day.
While I think this piece of advice is excellent for the person sending the emails, in case there are multiple necessary steps in an email, it’s not so pleasant for the person receiving the emails.
Sometimes a person writes to me, I quickly reply, and one day passes until a new reply is given.
Of course, the next day I forget a lot of the details in the conversation, and I have to recheck things.
Not so good for this end, right?
Somebody recently asked me to share a study research on various communities.
I refused. I don’t like research studies at all.
Also, promoting something I don’t like for myself to other communities – I don’t think this an optimal solution.
Even if you do something for another person, it can still be aggressive.
There was a story on vinyl discs when I was little, a story about the life of author Hans-Christian Andersen. I couldn’t find the story online.
In the story, it was told that the boy liked to read outside of school. One teacher was upset: “He had better learn what I teach, not read extra things!”. (“Mie să-mi știe lecțiile!”)
While it’s admirable that the boy wanted to read extra, the teacher did have a point.
Yes, perhaps it’s rather silly that all children should read so-and-so lesson, rather than focus on growing in general, even outside the curriculum, but once you accept the curriculum, the teacher just imposed what was natural.
If you have a problem with a kid needing to learn the curriculum, then you have a problem with the educational system, not with the teacher
There’s a tendency in life to look for extra things when analyzing a situation.
But you do have to accept that there are some rules.
There always is a context; there’s always more to be known than what rises to the surface. On the other hand, even if you have all the justifications in the world, in the end it matters if your actions succeed.
You can be a very tired football player, but at the end of the 90-minute game, it matters if your team scored or not.
It’s good and relevant to know the excuses, but the end result is even more important.

In my opinion, when a young person chooses between a job and college, they only wish to succeed. College is just a tool, like a job, or a computer, or AI, or the Internet etc. A person simply thinks that to succeed, you can choose a job rather than do a college.
Regarding the meme that is attached to this blog post – nobody asks you whether you want to learn or not. You are forced to learn.
Whenever the first sportsman went under 10 seconds, this became a rule – everyone can now run lower than 10 seconds. Once a record in speed, whether it is at 100 m, or a Marathon race, everybody sets themselves to do this.
The rules are set as such that you will likely be forced to learn, and nobody is asking you whether you wish to or not.

Bucharest, 15 July, 2026 – ING Bank Romania and eMAG are launching online order payments via RoPay, a fully digital and free national payment solution that allows eMAG customers to instantly pay for their orders without having to manually enter their card information into the payment form.
“The speed and simplicity of the payment experience are increasingly important to customers, and every extra step in completing a payment makes the process more cumbersome. For the more than 6.77 million customers who can already use RoPay for online shopping, payments are simpler, fee-free, and instant. eMAG is the leader in Romania’s e-commerce industry, and the adoption of the RoPay solution will certainly revolutionize payment behavior and propel this local payment platform to the top of Romanians’ preferences,” says Raluca Țintoiu, Head of Wholesale Banking at ING Bank Romania.
Romania: In recent years, there has been a growing devotion to saints from other countries, such as Saint Paisios of Mount Athos, Saint Ephraim the New Martyr, Saint Luke of Crimea, and Saint Stylianos.
In general, however, traditional names remain the most popular, including:
Saint Nicholas, Saint George, Saint Andrew the Apostle, Saint Demetrius the New, Saints Peter and Paul, Saint Paraskeva, Saint Stephen, and Saint Basil.
From Romania, highly revered figures include:
Holy Venerable Confessor Arsenie of Prislop and Elder Cleopa.
The problem with education starts in the very early stages.
If you have a child who has a good education at home, it’s likely that child will do well in the first years of school.
If you have a child who learns well in the first 8 years of school, he will likely do well in the next 4 years, at the highschool.
Get a child who studies well in high school, and you get a good student.
People look at students and say, “there’s a low quality in education”.
I think we should look for the reasons at the very first stages. It matters more what you do in the first 8 years + 4 years of high school than what you do in the 4 years in college.
I would like that rules are kept the same during the game.
If I’m 44 and I will entitled to pension at 65, or at 70, or other thing like that, I would like that this setting does not change when I rach 65/70 years of age.
Sometimes, laws change during the game, and I don’t think that’s fair.
I should be able to know, 20 years before retiring, the age at which I will retire.
In my opinion, things should change for future generations only. So, a law in 2026 should affect those who are about to enter the workforce (less than 18 years of age).
As I see it, this will only force people plan things better for the future.
I think it’s a good exercise to make. (planning things)
