Break a leg

așteptare

Somebody told me details about a car accident. It wasn’t pretty, even to imagine.

This makes me think – is it that important to avoid precautions just to get from A to B faster?

Isn’t it better to arrive a few minutes late, but with extra care in not getting into accidents?

In my opinion, avoiding such risks is well worth the price of waiting more.

But, of course, nobody likes to declutter, do dishes and wait in line.

First time vs. Comeback

puzzleman - Website Update!!!,

I see this quite often – people create websites for those who visit it just once – the first time.

But what happens to people who keep coming back to the website?

For example, at Lumea SEO PPC we created the website in the style of a blog – you read the latest posts, and only if you require additional details there are other pages.

We put a lot of emphasis on people returning to the website.

For this purpose, I rather suggest you create a blog, and add to it some pages to make it a website (about/contact/other pages like services), rather than create a website and attach a blog to it.

The blog should be the important one, not the website.

Not caring / being thick sikinned – Nepăsare / nesimțire

Orlando Imperatore - With Love

„De ce îi este omului de astăzi foame? De iubire și de sens.” – Nicolae Steinhardt în Jurnalul fericirii

There’s a book called: „Între Dumnezeu și neamul meu” – Petre Țuțea.

There is a horizontal axis (love, my people) and a vertical axis (God, purpose).

I think there might be a diagonal within these axises: not caring, being thick skinned (nepăsare / nesimțire).

In this situation, where you don’t care, you have neither a purpose, not love.

I think these words combine multiple plans – not caring, being thick skinned (nepăsare / nesimțire).

And they’re even harder to fix, as they are on multiple levels.

If you have no love and no purpose, I think you are in a poor position.

Too much / little focus

Pascal Gaudette - Crab Spider and Fly Prey

You can get too much focus or too little focus.

It’s not an easy balance.

For example, you can focus too much on things you can’t control. „What’s the situation in the US?”. Ok, other than the general culture, why is it important?

But, on the other hand, if you only read „How to be more successful at X,” you’ll have a view that is too narrow.

There are other implications, also. You can consider what appears in the media as the ultimate truth.

For example, you think you know what it’s like to live in the US just by seeing the news. While not a lie, the image might be far from complete.

There was no stake

Tony Hammond - On a Wing and a Prayer!

Ukraine at the football European Championship had the following matches, in this order – Romania, Slovakia, and Belgium.

To be almost sure of qualifying, they had to win at least one game and draw one. Of course, winning two or more matches is great, but it is not mandatory.

Now, it might seem that the match against Romania had no stake.

But if you consider there were only three matches, and Belgium is probably hard to beat, they had to get a win and a draw from the first two matches.

Sometimes, people say, „It’s not in the knockout stages.”

That’s fine, but Ukraine still had to win/get a draw.

Of course, winning against Belgium is mathematically possible, it’s not a zero chance event, but even if it wasn’t a knockout, Ukraine still had to win.

High five or prayer emoji? 🙏🏻

Elias Rovielo - Emoji esculptures, República Subway Station, São Paulo, Brazil

There’s a debate on what this symbol represents: 🙏🏻.

It’s long been thought that it’s a „prayer” or „thank you with gratitude”—something along those lines.

It might mean „high five,” so two different people join hands.

Some articles on this:

Prayer, high five? Users confused over emoji’s meaning;

People baffled after discovering what this hands emoji actually means – Mirror Online.

My view on it? If both parties in the communication acknowledge the same symbol, I think we are fine.

On the other hand (pun intended), using symbols with their intended meaning would also be fine.

Libertarian and communist

Loяena Ortega - money

Some people tend to be libertarians or capitalists when they need to offer others help—”each for their own, I need capital, it’s your duty to help yourself.”

The same people, when they need help, tend to be communists/socialists – „I deserve to be helped!”.

There’s a funny saying in Romanian:

„Eu când zic că iau, iau! Dar când zic că dau, numa’ zic!”

„When I say I’ll take, I take! But when I say I’ll give, I’m just saying!”
