Forgetting to write down less important things helps me write down a lot more very important things.
It’s good to have experience, especially by mistake you learn, even if it hurts.
Some of my blog posts are really silly, I think.
But they help in creating better ones.

I once had a small talk with a therapist – I said I would like to live longer, forever perhaps (medicine might allow for this).
He was surprised and asked me if I would really like such a life.
It made me wonder.
In conclusion, I think I’ll probably be pretty bored, not to mention the lack of energy I’d have as an old person.
All life is a trauma in one way or another.
Any experience leaves a mark on you.
Some hurt you, some you like.
You remember the pain sometimes, and when you find joy, it’s like a mouthful of oxygen for a man standing underwater.
Life is built on traumas.
These days I listened to some person saying something in the line of – when you see some famous actor playing an apparently minor role in the movie, it’s likely that the person will appear again in the movie because they will more likely have an important role.
Conclusion? See a known actor – expect them to play a bigger role.
I consider that when a website/product/service/person has both positive and negative reviews, the negative reviews actually make the subject shine.
If I see a product filled with extremely positive reviews, and no negative one, I might wonder:
Both of these would be a bad signal for the quality of the product.
Right now, I feel that I’m a picky old man – I’m getting older, I’m pretentious, I put boundaries.
And I try to avoid these so much!
Generally, school (at least in Romanian State schools) doesn’t make you street smart.
You learn in school some things, some useful, some useless in business and everyday life.
Being the 1st in school does not guarantee later success.
The solution? Learn well in school, but be active in extra-curricular activities – have hobbies, go to events, help NGOs, go to art activities.
It struck me very well that I was harsh when I was young, that I was a stubborn child, that I resisted, that I did everything I wanted, with courage, with insensibility, and stubbornness – lots of times.
I learned a lot, probably more than I would have learned if I had been a good and submissive child.
At school – I learned, I did my homework, I put in the effort.
But beyond that, I did what I wanted to do.
And trauma, of course.
(my) Life’s solution – insist until you are forced to grow and develop.
How different is the life of those close to you?
A person, a man, a house – everything is different, it’s a different life.
You can see the lives of your relatives, their friends, their neighbors.
All – radically different.
The house they have, the social circle, their jobs – they differ quite a bit.
