Come on, give me the chills

Thoughts about changing, life, and whatever comes to mind.

  • simplifying charts

    Looking at a chart is a great way to hide information, instead of displaying it.

  • your social image

    What image do you have on Facebook? How often do you change it?

    Can the image represent yourself truly? Or did you choose it because it reminded you of something?

    Our image tells a lot about ourselves. What we like and want to become.

    Mine, for example, has a slightly smile onto it. I choose it because of the smile.
    It represent the image I’d like to have every single day.

    The image of a serene person who tries his best in this world.

  • the two versions

    Recently I’ve had the change to talk with an agent about buying a house.

    We exchanged lots of emails and also met each other to discuss the conditions and the prices.

    Everything was fin until he asked me for a specific paper that attested something regarding the money.
    I didn’t have that info and needed to find it.

    I told him I’d contact him back once I found it.
    Later on, he wrote me asking me for updates, I replied I didn’t have them and waited.

    After that he wrote me another email, asking for the same info, which I didn’t reply to.

    Weeks passed and he wrote me again, raging, because I didn’t seem like a reliable person, and he told me he would leave the work (not because of me obviously).

    This led me to think about the 2 sides of each story. He probably lived the whole story differently and he surely felt betrayed, although the reason behind me waiting to reply to him was, in fact, that I didn’t have any news or update.

    Each story has multiple version of it. Both of them true.
    Should you choose one over the other, remember that they can differ, but both tell the same story, the same truth.

  • the dream

    Some people keep their job not because of the job, but because of a dream someone sold to them.

    Why? Because it’s not the work that motivates you, it’s the purpose.

  • the issues don’t exist

    Whenever you think about the problems in life you might as well realize they don’t truly exist, even their weight don’t exist, because the weight represents how you value the problem, how you balance benefits and risks.
