Thoughts about changing, life, and whatever comes to mind.
Some experiences can only be done through trial and error, by trying and failing.
We might not even succeed, but we must try, even if we are tempted by the whole system.
The hard part is to stay true to yourself at times when it’s more convenient to align with other people thoughts.
Keep your line, listen, act with your mind
Anyone can show a different side once they’re in the right mood. Even the most common person will show unusual ideas, interesting concepts.
And those concept will be fascinating.
Now ask yourself: is it easy to be on the side of common though? The answer is yes. Conforming is easy, it always is, so if many people find interesting some concept could it be that they do it for a polarizing effect?
They might, that’s why you as if you should learn something and move into a minority position
I took two days off writing because I went into a meditation seminar and I realized I’m too much dependent on my smartphone.
Not for useful things, but to use my time.
Basically my smartphone is a way to remove time from my life, to lose the sense of time and not gaining anything else.
As a result I’m planning to shut off the smartphone on weekends. We’ll see how that goes and how much of it I’ll be able to make it real.
Do you think there’s no marketing to be invented in your field?
Think twice.
Yesterday I realized one thing about the business that’s cleaning up the stairs in our building. Something that I never imagined.
But first, let me tell you how it worked since few months ago.
On Wednesdays, people would clean the stairs.
They would come around 6AM and clean it.
They would do a good job, and to demonstrate that they passed they usually rolled up our doormat.
What changed?
In the last few weeks they stopped coming ad 6AM, and they started using a product that leaves a wonderful smell of vanilla in all the building for at least 1 day.
It’s amazing and it works.
This way, we come back and say “WOW”, while before we didn’t even think about it.
You notice the dirtiness only when it becomes too much. But you notice the cleanliness when you can “feel it”.
They added the perfume so that we could feel their work.
It sound stupid but with a single trick they changed the way their work is perceived by people.
If you think your work is at a dead end, think twice and ask questions to understand the need of your customer.
Then you’re done.
Remember to treasure the people you love,
not on special days, but on the common ones.
Make their (and your) life unforgettable. Love at full scale.
Make the small days count, and make the big days be amazing.
Come on, give me the chills
