Ana-Maria Udriște: Cea mai mare dovadă de self-care este să spui «nu» lucrurilor care sunt nocive pentru tine. (via »)
Îmi place mult acest citat. E nevoie să ai abilitatea de a zice nu doar “da”, ci să poți spune și “stop”.
I don’t agree with quiz contests – asking questions in order to receive a prize for the best question.
This motivates you not to ask something stupid. You’ll try your best to ask a “smart” question.
But what does a bad question look like?
And – If there are no bad questions, why not reward all of them?
If there are no bad questions, how do you separate a good from a bad question?
I don’t need the world to agree with me, it’s just a frustration I have.
Who should raise kids?
Perhaps the people who think they are not worthy.
I see people saying “I would not be a good parent”.
So, who are the parents with lots of kids? The ones that believe in themselves.
As far as I see it, some of the people who doubt themselves would make good parents.
Some people say in their CVs that they’re CEOs.
But they’re CEOs of small companies, with just a few people.
Of course, they could only be either general manager/manager/founder.
CEOs and general managers share a number of responsibilities, but they are inherently distinct roles.

As far as I see it, writing about politics in public doesn’t help – you should avoid this.
If you’re a fan of USR – their fans will not applaud you, everyone else’s fans will hate you.
This is a principle I once read in a book by Isaac Asimov.
On hatred: it’s amazing to see just how important the social factor is in all the annoyances of others towards you.
Why do you care about some people?
Because they’re different. And because they don’t follow the rules. And sometimes it’s good to be able to say stop, get out of the routine, have that ability. If you break the rules, you are a rebellious person, the person in front of you takes a risk – you can break the rules, and annoy him. If you’re a boxer, it’s a guarantee – you don’t break the rules, but you’re definitely boring.
People are looking to follow the social in the case of masks as well. I respect the law more than I value my health and the health of others.
A man of courage, with insensibility, will also look for shortcuts, and sometimes he will succeed. He will not be afraid of risks, of failure, of humiliation. He’ll have the guts, and maybe he’ll succeed.
A shy, frightened, panicked man will go down the beaten path, and he will certainly not win. The brave man has a chance of success. The shy man has a certainty of failure.
Compared to the prodigal son who has fun and is brave.
Atonement (2007):
How old do you have to be to know the difference between right and wrong?What are you, 18?
I think there is sufferance of laughter: Laurel & Hardy make me laugh, but I know they had some difficulties in life.
Some comedians have a tough life, even if they make me laugh.
Another example: Joker (2019) movie.
While in high school, I once was about to cross the street on a designated place for that purpose (a zebra).
But the distance to the zebra was quite high, and the road was empty.
Still, I took the long path.
A good friend of mine was surprised by my decision.
Today, I still wear a mask whenever I go out, even if they’re not mandatory anymore.
In my opinion, you should try and do good no matter the circumstances.
