Non-practice

It’s not easy to become the best, to have the best, and so on.

It looks easy – I want the best services/products. It’s not.

If you want a good screen monitor, you can look at prices and buy an Apple monitor, but that’s not necessarily the best.

If you want a good computer keyboard, you might get an expensive mechanical keyboard, but there might be better deals.

The most expensive mouse/phone/mattress/chair might not be a good fit for you.

This doesn’t mean that you should always buy the cheapest products.

What it means is that if you’re looking for something good, you need to do a bit of research.

Some feedback, some sales, some recommendations, some ratings – all of this helps.

But you still need to do your research.

I think that TV commercials tend to be aggressive.

Not all of them, and it certainly depends on the country.

But most ads, to be memorable, need to create some sort of surprise.

It would be great to have a soft surprise, an internal realization, an insight.

But a lot of time more abrupt surprises are preferred – shocking, aggressive, loud.

In a convent, as in psychology, you play on unstable ground.

It’s easy to promise, but difficult to keep your promise.

You know the rules, but you can fail.

Monasticism and psychology are sometimes a gamble.

You can earn a lot (spirit, knowledge), but it’s also the way you fall.

Lucifer used to be the most beautiful angel.

You can have virtues and still fall.

I do not believe in bad people, I believe in contexts and facts with negative consequences and negative intentions.

You can give a beggar 5 lei, he takes an overdose, he dies. You wanted to help him.

You can be upset with someone, want to beat him, and get stronger and better prepared for life.

You can volunteer to help someone, they might use your help for evil purposes.

You can be angry with someone, yell at them, and they would stop doing something evil.

You can do bad things because of your inner beliefs, education, growth, environment.

A bad person in itself – I don’t think it exists.

Some salespeople are looking for shortcuts, and hitting the target is everything, they want to be right.

I think they might be wrong, the solution is the paradox and the middle path.

It’s not just about sales, it’s about results, and this is more complex than a sales figure.

The opposite? People who ignore the figures, all the way, who doubt themselves, who are anti-system.

The more I think about the middle path, the farther away it seems to go.

In my opinion, it’s good to work on something head-to-tail, not to make 20 small texts at once, then 1/4 of another task, and so on.

If you want to make a website, just make that site, from start to end.

I heard this about a person who went to the UK/USA – Emi Gal.

Fully agree.
