Come on, give me the chills

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

  • how you react will impact what you do

    A simple thought that might need some deeper examination: There is a strict correlation between how you react to something (even mentally) and what you do after.

  • success is an internal state

    I often see people try to impress others, because if they succeed they think they are better then the norm.

    It’s not like they really think this, but it’s what moves their actions. They are moved by an implicit goal based on recognition, expectation, and goals.

    If they fail, they’ll feel bad, as if they have not succeeded.

    Success, like this example, is an internal state. If you need the concept of “Success” you’re likely to be in the same group of people that needs recognition of their work, their actions, and so on.

    This will mine each and every goal of yours, because if you want to climb the Everest and you want to be recognized, you might take a detour to get more success, but the chances of getting to the top of the mountain might go down considerably .

    So, which one you’ll prefer?

  • a change of peace

    Having a child changes how you manage your time, how much you can accomplish in that time and how to use it.

    It’s like refining your skill in time-usage. You need to do the same, with much less time.

  • risk tolerance

    Now that the coronavirus pandemic is starting to slow down in italy (we hope) we see the different approaches to risk of the people around us.

    You might find people who simply don’t care, it’s all a lie.

    People that will try to justify their behavior like they don’t think it’ll affect them, people that will put on face masks all the time.

    It’s all about risk tolerance. How much a single error will impact your life in your expectations?

    We think we’re immune, but we’re not. We all have different tolerance to risk.

  • who are you, what’s your job?

    Two different questions that might lead to the same answer even though they shouldn’t.

    Your job is not you. If you’re a seller, that defines your mask during your job, your expectation, but by no means that is what defines you as a human. You are more complex, more deeper and defined than a simple job.

    A job can come and go, does that mean that once we lose a job we entirely lose our definition? Of course not. That’s why even though it might be tempting from time to time to make those two answer similar to each other, they’re not.

    Your job is a part of your life, a critical important part that partly defines your success in the job world.
    But that’s it. Who you are is another topic.
