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.
„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.
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.
Exploring the question, „Who am I?” can be a profound and introspective journey. Let me try to find out more about myself by answering some questions.

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.
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.
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!”
I have this algorithm:
With this algorithm, I got in the top 15% of players at PC Garage. At Nwradu league, I was in top 1/3.
At times, I trusted my gut more. For example, although the odds were that England would win the cup, I bet on some matches against them.
The conclusion of this story? Don’t bet. Even if you think logically, you can’t beat the odds the platforms give you. You’re much more likely to lose.
Another conclusion – try to think rationally, not emotionally. If the odds are for England, don’t bet on the Netherlands. Go with the math, not with metaphors.
Also, I generally avoid betting; I tried my luck this time.
I like to read about sports; it motivates me. Sometimes, I watch people scoring goals. But to watch entire matches? Not so much.
Also, when betting – most likely, there will be some people pushing their luck more than you. You’ll be better than some of these players by using logic, but it’s very, very hard to be a winner.
Finally, I consider betting to be very damaging to society as a whole. I would forbid all advertising in any form and limit their availability as much as possible.
On my blog, I refuse to write about chess championships in Romania, due to the fact that they tend to be sponsored by betting companies. It’s like I would endorse them, which is not the case.
I didn’t link to the Nwradu league above because a betting company sponsored it. I thought quite a bit if I should even participate or not. It was a free contest – why not?
Citat #1: „Potrivit declarației de avere depuse pentru alegerile europarlamentare, Călinescu și-a dat în ultimul an un salariu total de 9.170 de lei, dar a încasat dividende de 1,3 milioane de lei anul trecut, adică circa 260.000 de euro.”
Citat #2: „Dacă câștiga mandatul de eurodeputat, Florin Călinescu ar fi câștigat circa 7.850 de euro pe lună, adică în jur de 94.000 de euro pe an. Asta înseamnă de 50 de ori mai mult decât câștigă în prezent.”
Adică acum câștigă pe an 261.000 € din dividende, iar ca europarlamentar ar fi câștigat 94.000 €.
Adică ar fi câștigat de aproape 3 ori mai puțin decât câștigă acum, exclusiv din dividende.

Hotnews.ro ales datele cele mai convenabile pentru titlu:
„DOCUMENT. Ce salariu are Florin Călinescu. Actorul tocmai a ratat un salariu de 50 de ori mai mare”.
Este corect, dar metoda de a privi datele e viciată.
Later edit: HotNews.ro au editat știrea, nu mi-au aprobat comentariul. Știrea nouă se încheie așa:
„Dacă câștiga mandatul de eurodeputat, Florin Călinescu ar fi câștigat circa 7.850 de euro pe lună, adică în jur de 94.000 de euro pe an. Asta înseamnă de 50 de ori mai mult decât salariul pe care îl are la propria firmă, cel de sub 2.000 de euro pe ultimul an.
Totuși, dincolo de salariu, actorul a avut venituri subtanțiale din dividende: de 1,3 milioane de lei anul trecut, adică circa 260.000 de euro.”
Titlul rămâne, desigur, acolo nu s-a intervenit.
