Come on, give me the chills

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

  • what you wrote before

    I was sure about it: I didn’t share any view with whom I was many years ago.

    When time passes though, you slowly detatch from what you wrote and if you happen to find some old writings of yours it seems strange, unusual. 

    To me it felt like reading someone else’s book, while I was the one that wrote it.

    So where’s the catch?
    When I discovered an old writing I re-read it, the introduction was well formed, the content was nice. What was different then?
    Some concepts are radically different now and I wouldn’t like them to be expressed as I did before.

    Aside from this everything was perfect. That’s why I’m planning to open source more of my writings in case someone wants to read it. It might not change the world but it’s what I can put out there for people to read and help them.

  • the unexpected help

    The thrill before a presentation, before a show, is something that cannot be translated in words. Its a spark, a desire, a hope to make it right.

    When I decided to write a small book I didn’t knew if it was ok, if it was worth it. I did it anyway and now I receive also an unexpected help from a dear friend.

    Life will always surpass your imagination, because friendship, help, and humanity are way more than what we imagine. You only have to trust them, it’ll be enough.

  • a taste for excellence

    Are people addicted to success? Yes they are. But what they are also addicted to is another thing.

    It’s like when you first shop parfums. You’re clueless. Then you start knowing the brands and buy more expensive stuff.

    Then you get into the niche market and you discover a whole new world of possibilities.

    Yes, they’re highly priced and yes, not all of them are worth the price but you can’t go back to buying cheap stuff now that you know what excellence is like.

  • short form, long form

    There are some concepts that require a broader spectrum to be understood. They need to be explained more deeply so that people can understand them. 

    It’s the limit of the short form.. The short form convey a message, the long form convey a format.

  • learning isn’t optional

    If learning isn’t on your priorities you’ll probably plateauing very soon. Your knowledge can’t expand if it’s not influenced by new thoughts, ideas, people.

    Let them come. accept learning, add more things and keep what you like. Not in a struggling “I’m not enough” thought, but in a more open minded “what can I take back home from this” where everything can be a present, and nothing is a lost game.
