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

  • how can we interpret information?

    From the Facebook news feed, to the Newspapers, is there a way we can interpret information?

    The scientific thought is not always present, and we can’t ask for that, so in case a news arise, what are you gonna do with it?

    Are you gonna share it just reading the title?

    Are you gonna read some parts alone?

    Will you spend your time reading through the article and then search for deeper evidences?

    Internet always empower us with choice, but in the end we lack time, so we have to make another choice, is this information something we want and care about?

    If yes, then you got to decide how to handle it, if it’s worth sharing.
    Sharing based on titles can’t make us better people because in that way we are just helping mass media (not the one you think) manipulate us.
    We just go with the flow without understanding the reason, we don’t build a theory, a way of thinking, a point of view.

    To create a point of view you must dedicate time and effort, dig deeper, learn more.

    That way only you can be sure of what you are sharing.

  • I got angry again

    No matter the day, the sun, or the sky, there will always be a good reason to angry.

    Usually it’s about saddle information when we communicate.
    Today I was angry because a developer from another company was being mad at me and was implying that it was our fault.

    Well, truth is… he wasn’t implying that thing at all, and even if he did, he didn’t write it down.
    The implying part was all made up by my mind.

    It was my mind that, when I read the email, thought about the hidden pieces of information, he surely didn’t.

    Is there an escape from this? It’s not easy, and it won’t be any better in the future but I think the main thing we can do is separate information and judgement.

    We should start thinking to why a person is upset with us, we should think about the fact that it’s not about ourself, it’s about the things we do, and the things we do are not our hidden soul, they’re just our actions.

    We can fail, we can threat people in the wrong way.
    The most important thing is to just care, to threat people in a good way, love them, help them.

    Getting angry is, as always, a waste of time.

  • what if I’m going to fail?

    “What if I’m going to fail?”
    that is a thought that more often than not cross my mind.

    It’s the fear of failure, the fear of not being good enough.

    The more I thnk about it, the more I realize there’s not a way to fight this fear, it’s part of who we are.
    Having this fear is what helps us questioning to learn, to move forward.

    Would it be better if we didn’t fear a thing?
    I don’t think so, think about not fearing death, you might jump off a train and just die.
    But if you ask yourself “Is the right thing to do? What If I’m gonna die?” maybe you will face the consequences, and think of how to survive.
    Maybe you’ll still jump off the train, but you will be prepared to land, or to cling onto something so you won’t die.
    And maybe it will work.

    Having fear is a litmus test for what you do in life.

  • being generous is good

    Being generous will allow you to share gratitude, to get deeper emotions, to enlighten others.

    You may think that keeping it for yourself might be the best thing to do but when you start so share just for the sake of it, and not for being recognized, something might shift.

    You might get to connect to more people, to move the needle of your life.

    People will be surprised and amazed by your generosity, and from there on they will start thinking about it, about how much worth was it.

    And maybe they will start being more generous too, not as a sign of emulation but as of pure delightment.

    You made them change in a beautiful way.
    Smile.

  • get your priorities right

    We miss priorities by mixing them with distractions.
    We might forget that what we care about was our first todo list, our first topic, the others.

    It’s still there, our first goal, that’s why we have the option to remove distractions.

    It’s hard to leave them, but once we realize how much time we lose every time we give attention to them, than it become clear.
