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.

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
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.

Despre promovarea de fake news
Sunt unii pe grupuri de discuții care partajează lucruri false, dar foarte virale, prind la public, provoacă emoții, sperie, doar pentru că uneori există posibilitatea să fie o urmă de adevăr.
Opinia mea?
- Faptul că un ceas arată ora exactă de două ori pe zi nu înseamnă că ar trebui să folosim acel ceas;
- Dacă îți place să mănânci gunoi informațional, e treaba ta; faptul că iei gunoiul și nu îl verifici, și îl dai tuturor fără să spui că e gunoi și că nu e bun de mâncat – asta nu e bine;
- Despre „scopul scuză mijloacele” – Machiavelli etc.; eu consider că nu poți scuza un rău cu un bine; iar binele în situația de față e cel puțin dubios;
- E manipulatoare minciuna că „dom’le, eu vă prezint o știre”, atâta timp cât transmițătorul știe bine că nu e o știre, nu e verificată, n-are sursă; o dă mai departe pentru viralitate, chiar dacă face rău.
O zi bună.
Despre BMW-uri cu închidere automată
(sunt unele mașini care se pot încuia/descuia automat, pe baza telefonului mobil din buzunar, nu mai e nevoie de cheie)
Situație ipotetică:
„Pot să îți împrumut și eu Volvo-ul, că BMW-ul meu e în service?”
„Nu, că nu mai ești obișnuit să încui ușa manual și iar uiți Volvo-ul descuiat.”

Până acum îmi era teamă să plec din casă – nu știam dacă am încuiat ușa de la casă sau nu. Ăsta ar fi un stress++.
