I find this a rather disturbing argument.

Sometimes, self-development trainers give this as an example – “Look, you have persons A, B, C. If they could do it, you can, also!”.

This starts from the assumption that I think I’m better than A, B, C.

A rather disturbing fact.

It may look like an obvious choice – for UEFA Champions League matches, for example, to only watch matches in the final stages of the event.

I doubt this choice – yes, if you want to watch just a match, it’s likely that the final match will be more exciting than a lot of group matches.

But, most likely, the difference between two such matches will not be that high.

I think you can get a good show watching group-stage matches, also.

My view on Will Smith and the Oscars?

The real issue is that there are two opposite evils:

• It’s wrong to make fun of someone’s health issues.
• It’s wrong to use physical aggression as a response to an oral comment.

The thing is, you need to compare the two evils and notice that Will Smith did the “wronger” evil, if there’s such thing.

It was a poor night for artists everywhere, but especially for the people who were awarded an Oscar that night, and the spotlight was not on them anymore (via Jim Carrey).

Once, a friend told me – “I hope you’ll become someone important because you avoid doing small chores”.

Thoughts:

• I should have done the small things; even if I considered myself to be the busiest man in the world;
• I don’t think I became a great man; once, I told a person I’m a freelancer, and that person was curious if I wanted something more in my life.

Small chores are important, kids! :)
