Non-practice

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.

I once read in a book by Galaction Gala – I want to meet a great writer, when we will be on an equal footing, not much inferior. I’m wasting his time right now. Getting an autograph is not that great evil.

It’s the same with Instagram. If a very active and involved person posts on Instagram, it does not mean that you should follow her on Instagram. It means that you should become so active and involved that you have something to post. Don’t waste your time being a stalker. Spend your time being the kind of man who, in turn, would be his stalker. Do things, get involved, take action. Dream upstairs, try, struggle. Sometimes it’s OK and an extreme routine, many small things done can bring great results.

The problem is not that you spend your time on Instagram following others, the problem is that your program allows you to look on Instagram. Become a busy man.

“Busy” can also be active relaxation, you can do sports, you can relax consuming the media. But not Instagram, that’s a no-no.

Vulnerabilities matter – it’s important to have skin in the game.

If you have an about us or a contact us page, put a photo/video of yourself (or persons related to those pages).

If you write something like a novel, you could consider leaving your mark on the writing.

If you speak about your life, open up.

What’s vulnerable?

• Allowing yourself to be exposed, speaking about yourself.
• Showing vulnerable emotions, they range from laughing to crying.
• Speaking from personal experience.
• Giving real names, real experiences.

Of course, this doesn’t mean being so vulnerable you can get hurt. But showing some of your inner person can do wonders in persuasion.

Sometimes I postpone things – I write them down and do them another time.

Paradoxically, this makes me more productive, even though it looks like a form of procrastination.

If I choose not to do all the things right now, when I finally do them, it will be great.

If you click on clickbait, you encourage it.

When you want to see what a certain well-known person said about a subject, you increase her income and audience, even if you don’t agree with that person’s behavior.

If you follow someone toxic on Facebook, you increase their audience.

When you accept a friendly request from a dubious person, you give them a vote of confidence.

If you watch TV with negative messages, you increase their selling power.

The solution – be more critical when accepting invitations.
