I remember reading an article by Andrei Crăciun, in which he said something similar to: don’t live your life in quotes, avoid them, as much as possible.
Yes, it’s great to think with your own mind, it’s good that you force yourself to come up with something creative, but this might be just a little be too much.
I’ll still go ahead and quote people.
I try and answer all my emails and direct messages, as well as I can.
Some people complain that I don’t put enough effort into my emails, that I reply sometimes using a single word or two.
I think that’s a fair observation, indeed I could say more things.
On the other hand, this would just make writing emails take longer, and perhaps this isn’t such a good solution, after all.
There are some writers who write more atypically, a bit more strangely.
If you can connect with what they write, if you can be careful, they give you ideas, help creativity and surprise you.
If it irritates you, and you can’t concentrate on their messages, it’s more unpleasant.
It’s just like The Office (TV Series 2005–2013): the things they irritate you with are actually the ones you’ll like.
I do tend to click on the „Like” button on Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn, just to help me with knowing which posts I’ve already seen.
On the other hand, I generally don’t Like things on platforms such as YouTube/Twitter, there’s no point, at least, to me.
I have better things to do with my life than clicking Like.
Now „Sharing” – that’s an entirely different matter.
Yes, for sharing I do tend to use most networks.
I tend to write content on my blog with one idea – to develop myself.
The article I’m most proud of on this matter (Despre ură. Pe plan personal (eu urăsc) și global (societatea te îndeamnă la ură) – cel mai bun articol pe care l-am scris vreodată și de ce acest lucru e irelevant – Blog de Olivian Breda) took a few days to write and I consider it a key part in my development.
Just going through the process of writing it helped me with becoming a better person.
I have a theory – if you bring a thought into active memory, you think about it, it tends to become a reality, even to the point of actually believing it.
Memories are flexible, your mind can create realities.
They’re not true but to yourself – realities, nevertheless.
It all starts from thought – and it becomes something physical.
My humour has not transmitted that well on Zoom conferences.
Tried it, failed it.
Yes, some people laugh at my jokes, but it’s a different atmosphere.
I find it much easier to make a person laugh while meeting in person.
The doctors did me a lot of good on all occasions I interacted with any of them.
How would I not want to get vaccinated?
There are just two types of people:
The optimal solution?
Choose the middle path.
