Wearing masks no matter what
While in high school, I once was about to cross the street on a designated place for that purpose (a zebra).
But the distance to the zebra was quite high, and the road was empty.
Still, I took the long path.
A good friend of mine was surprised by my decision.
Today, I still wear a mask whenever I go out, even if they’re not mandatory anymore.
In my opinion, you should try and do good no matter the circumstances.

Attacking in chess
In chess, if you attack, you have the first chance of mating.
Sure, if the other party rejects the attack, you might find that you have weaknesses in your own defense.
But, as a general rule, I prefer to attack.
Intelligence and Goodness
You don’t have to be a great scientist to be a good man.
You can have your flaws, but overall be a good man. That’s hard, not using the correct form of a word.
Knowing how to write properly is one way of being a good man, but not the only way.
On the other hand, you mustn’t despise the book. If you’re a nice person, yet lack some skills, don’t have a superior look at the people who know more than you. Knowledge is a form of power.
Should you read? Of course, but you should also try to be good.
“Dacă nu putem fi buni, să încercăm să fim măcar politicoşi.” ― Nicolae Steinhardt, Jurnalul fericirii
A game of chess with a good player
Sometime during college, I went to a chess contest.
There were some excellent players in there, including the current National Champion.
I played some games, one with a player well beyond my abilities.
I remember he was attacking a lot, perhaps even ignoring defenses and some of my moves.
He beat me so tough at chess.
Morale – if you’re very good, and know your strength, you can insist on trying to win.
How to work on tasks?
Some principles I like to follow when working on tasks:
- Don’t break the chain. Once I start an action, I try my best to finish it.
- Use the calendar a lot. Prioritize tasks, work on batches.
- Know when you’re most productive. For me, that’s the first part of the day.
- Work on the most important things first. Prioritizing tasks should be an important part of the tasks.
On If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it – Peter Drucker
Peter Drucker famously said, “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” (via »).
I think this doesn’t apply, to some degree, when holding a journal. Or painting. Or watching movies. Or creating something.
If you’re passionate about what you do, you might be more energetic and willing to do a thing, even if you don’t measure it.
Doing medical tests
Some people might want to choose Romania as a cheaper place to live in.
On the other hand, the health system is not that great.
That’s why, as I see it, one must take precautions in not getting ill.
I think that for the people who earn good money, taking some health tests would be the way to go.
Do you live in Romania? That’s fine, but test yourself for health issues, that’s one way of living longer.
