It’s nice to turn off the lights when you leave the room. It might help the planet.
Of course, there are some instances when it’s more efficient to just leave them on.
On the other hand, we should focus on the important things.
Yes, turn off the lights, and keep doing this habit.
But also look for opportunities to do more at a much larger scale.
Dragoș Ekart, founder of CyberAxo Agency: Man learns in two ways: by imitation and by failure

Mai jos, resursele cele mai importante, pentru mine, din perioada recentă. În general, predomină știrile de SEO.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And while some of these overlap with information revealed during the Google/DOJ case (some of which you can read about on this thread from 2020), many are novel and suggest insider knowledge.

I remember one article in which a person (a priest, as I remember) was telling about an ex-convict: the first thing that the person did once he got home from jail was to set free the dog at home from his chain.
There’s a short story in which a wolf initially admires the life of a dog, only to discover that the dog is chained during the day. At that point, the wolf says he prefers freedom to a free lunch.
I’m not sure what’s better for a dog in the modern world – to live in freedom, but likely with hardships, or to be a pet (likely with restrictions in movement).
I think animals suffer in captivity, so I opt not to have a pet.
A quote I like from Baltagul – Mihail Sadoveanu:
„Într-o clipă fu și ea în prag, țipând:
— Gheorghiță! Dă drumul cânelui!”
I like change; it motivates me.
I don’t like change; it annoys me, it gets me out of my comfort zone, and I can make mistakes.
These are both assertions that are true at the same time.
I try to get over them, sometimes I succeed, at times I don’t.
Where do you draw the line between hypocrisy and too harsh truths?
Sometimes, you need to lie and be a hypocrite.
At times, you need to tell a harsh truth.
Al doilea: precizarea inamicului cu care lupți. În armată se știe că este turcul, rusul sau altcineva, dar în lumea duhovnicească inamicul este diavolul. Nu luptăm cum zice Sfântul Apostol Pavel, cu trupul și cu sângele, ci cu puterile întunericului. Aici, de fapt, se face o greșeală foarte mare, că oamenii luptă cu oameni și se bucură diavolul, deci din gălăgia aceasta nejustificată câștigă al treilea. Pentru că toată lumea nu prețuiește pacea, care este de patru ori mai de preț decât dreptatea, ci ține la dreptate. Vedeți, aceasta este determinarea precisă a inamicului.

You can’t start saying truths and expect to fix everything.
On the other hand, you can’t always conceal the truth.
Life is a paradox.
„Unlimited wants is an economic term that refers to humans’ insatiable appetite for things. We never get enough because there is always something else that we need or want. The term ‘unlimited wants’ is the side of human nature that wants an infinite number of things. However, the resources we have available to get these wants are limited.” (Source: What are unlimited wants? Definition and examples – Market Business News)
People ask things of me. Sometimes, I satisfy their requests, at other times – no.
The wants are always unlimited, while the resources are not.
On May 27-29, 2024, took place, at the University „Ovidius” of Constanța, the event: „Sustainable Regional Development for Prosperous Communities.”
It was a EIT HEI Initiative, funded by the European Union, organized by the University „Ovidius” of Constanța and intrepid.
Below are photos from the first two days and my notes at the event.
How do you discover what you’re good at?
My suggested solution? Choose one thing, and do it until you get to the advanced level.
When you get there, there is a high probability you’ll like it.
Most careers tend to look unappealing in the entry-level positions.
Even two years on a job might not make it clear whether you’ll like it or not.
Get to the PRO level, and you can decide then.
By that time, you’ll likely have developed some skills well enough to transition to something else quickly.
