Social Dynamics 1: Wearing different masks

TL;DR Pay attention to how people respond to your behavior, and adapt accordingly, if you wish to continue working with them. Whom am I speaking to? Who is this going to help? The fixed-personality guy who is the “same” person with everyone, yet is not able to fit in anywhere. My Opinion different people have different levels of insecurities. If you are loud, brazenly sarcastic, and audacious around people with a meek and quiet temperament, you may be offended by your lack of consideration for peace and harmony....

Founders of Success: To Whom do we credit success?

TL;DR Success if a byproduct of the shoulder’s of giants we stand on. Whom am I speaking to? Who is this going to help? The “Lone Wolf” who wants to be the sole source of success that horde it. My Memory I recall listening to Elon Musk’s interview, and how a single book is what prompted him to his massive success and, ultimately, his own life purpose (see interview here)....

The Alpha Trap: When Hard Working Students Face Ego Setbacks

TL;DR Part of being a student means accepting the case when you will fail, and have to resort back to the basics. Lifelong students are never above any “small” task, if it means aligns with their goals and vision. Admitting that I don’t know, and asking for help. An alpha would never do this; but a student would never hesitate. Whom am I speaking to? Who is this going to help?...

At Home: The Suburban Museum

TL;DR If you want to visit a suburban museum, consider checking out At Home decor store. Whom am I speaking to? Who is this going to help? The person sitting home home with nothing better to do. My Practical Experience Today I went with one of my siblings to the At Home decor store. Here’s what happened. Here’s what the store sells: Pillows & Cushions (50%) Containers & Vases (40%) Rugs & Carpet (5%) Paintings (3%) Random toys and junk (2%) The store felt more like an open garage sale, where half the space was dedicated to cushions of sorts, and vases/containers were EVERYWHERE throughout the store....

The Pros and Cons of Living at Home

Introduction A single Google Search of “Living at Home” will reveal the cultural stigma behind this lifestyle. Often for men, “living at home” is synonymous with “lazy, loser, bum”. Certainly, for most men, that may be the case–IF they choose to label living at home as the same experience as if they were a child. But in this post, I will outline the wholistic pros and cons of living at home, and I will demonstrate how relabeling certain aspects will actually show why living at home is more practical....

Relabeling: Reading is building Potential Energy

TL;DR Whom am I speaking to? Who is this going to help? My Practical Experience Books Influence the way we think, which sets us up for the right ACTION This more coming from the shit I hear other people say. Alex Hormozi once mentioned how, he eventually read 10 books, but nothing about himself changed–to which I strongly disagree. The changes that take place when we read books are not visually observable actions, rather internal changes to the way we perceive the world through shaping the way we think–a software update instead of a hardware one....

'Can't you take a joke?' Versus 'Can't you be more respectful towards others?'

TL;DR Whom am I speaking to? Who is this going to help? My Practical Experience I don’t know how to explain this one. I fall into the camp of both sides. Growing up, with my “ideal” view of how the world should be, I would often look at disdain at people who were naturally charismatic and jokesters because they seemed to be immune the my ideal “rules” of etiquette. Now I realize that those people were simply playing by a different set of rules because they had become competent in a different set of skills–being socially adept....

The Practical Benefit of Honesty

TL;DR The habit of being honest is not simply a nobel virtue, but a necessary prerequisite in knowing how to navigate life. If you are honest, you will attract and reflect honest results. You may not like the results, and they may even go contrary to what you wish were true–but if that were the case, then it wouldn’t be truth anymore. However, when you are given honest feedback, and you trust you have been honest with yourself, then you can reliable use the feedback as a sound cornerstone to build towards realizing your ideal self....
