Vei iubi viața

Vei iubi viața

Am avut, în perioadele mai dificile din viața mea, o idee revelatoare, un insight – “Chiar dacă viața acum pare grea, la un moment dat o voi percepe ca fiind plăcută”. Cu alte cuvine: “Vei iubi viața”.

Acest motto m-a ajutat să trec prin unele perioade mai dificile.

Acest articol descrie bine situația:

You get shaken up by the event, question everything for a brief moment, then quickly find a way to tell yourself that it’ll be okay. I call it an “ideal” because it’s just that, an ideal. It’s not easy for me to follow either, but seeing it visually laid out like that helps to serve as an aspiration. And given that I’ve been able to endure everything that’s come at me so far (just like you have), perhaps the wisest thing to do is to accept that strength sooner than later whenever the next challenge arises.

Because the truth is that one day, we will all experience the most challenging day of our lives.

Kalin Karakehayov – Types of SEOs

de
La grande bellezza (2013)

I liked this thought from SERP Conf. – Eastern Europe Conference (Inter Expo Center, Sofia, 2025.03.25):

Kalin Karakehayov (Founder at Seo.Domains and Edoms.com):

There are two types of pople who get into SEO with high difficulty:

  • Classic marketers;
  • Designers. (they are obsessed with beauty)

I’ve seen this happening.

For a beginning, classic marketing is different than online marketing.

Also, designers tend to focus on things that are sometimes broken by SEOs. In SEO, in some areas you tend to SPAM stuff and make things “ugly”. Adding Keywords to a text generally results in poorer-quality texts.

We’ll See – A Chinese Proverb

We’ll See – A Chinese Proverb | IMPOSSIBLE:
Once upon a time, there was an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years.
One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. “Such bad luck,” they said sympathetically, “you must be so sad.”
“We’ll see,” the farmer replied.
The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it two other wild horses.
“How wonderful,” the neighbors exclaimed! “Not only did your horse return, but you received two more. What great fortune you have!”
“We’ll see,” answered the farmer.
The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy on his misfortune. “Now your son cannot help you with your farming,” they said. “What terrible luck you have!”
“We’ll see,” replied the old farmer.
The following week, military officials came to the village to conscript young men into the army. Seeing that the son’s leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out. “Such great news. You must be so happy!”
The man smiled to himself and said once again.
“We’ll see,”

Mother Teresa: Do good anyway

de
Adam Y Zhang - Good Kisser

Mother Teresa: ‘Do good anyway’:

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

Page cannibalization

de
Timothy Valentine - Summit Stairway

What to do if you have two pages targeting the same keyword?

This is called cannibalization.

Let’s say you have two pages: Page 1 (important) and Page 2 (less important). Both target the same keyword.

If you have the technical ability, move the new info from Page 2 to Page 1. In the end, have one nice big article with everything—Page 1.

Then, keep only one of them. The best option – Page 1.

Then, after you delete article #2, 301 redirect from #2 to #1.

If you can modify any backlinks from the Internet to #2 to lead directly to #1, do that.

Do some link-building on the Internet to #1.

If you do that, you should be OK!
