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

  • what are the alternatives?

    If anyone tells you that you only got two alternatives to choose from, think twice. 
    They’re right, from their point of view, but what’s missing in the picture is that there are countless alternatives, as long as you can imagine them.

    The two options proposed to you are just the one they can see, but they don’t count the extra ones you can see, or the ones a friend can see.
    You can stretch your mind and find alternatives as sound and as crazy as possible. Things you didn’t consider, things you excluded.

    It’s not that your world will only have two choices. It’s just that those choices are the one the people are aware of.

  • being paid equals taking responsibilities

    One simple rule: If you’re getting paid then you must be accountable for your work, for the quality, for the output.

    If you don’t get paid, but you give your word, it’s the same because you’re defining an outcome and as such, you can’t abandon the project.

    It’s up to you to manage those expectations, to communicate, to set goals. But in the end you will need to be accountable and take your responsibilities, because if you don’t then some people might even wonder: What am I paying him for?

  • a slight change

    We all need some change. Not because we’re not being understood or because we feel our potential hasn’t been expressed.

    No, we need it to get out of our confort zone, to conquer again new lands, to understand different parts of the world.

    Change, is somewhat a cure.

  • ignore the bad

    There are times when you can’t fight the bad. Maybe you’re out of energy, luck, whatever.

    In those times: ignore it, don’t make it count, don’t make it rule your world.

    Sounds like simple advice, but it’s actually really hard.

  • does a famous friend make you famous?

    Maybe you got a friend that had a relationship with someone famous. You’ll be tempted to use that as a story to tell to your friends.

    “I know someone that…”

    But why even do it? It’s not gonna make you famous, nor better.
