sometimes it comes sometimes it goes.

If it goes you have to search for it again. Inspiration can be found in the little things like a mosquito flying in your room and annoying you. It can aspire you to also learn to fly or it can aspire you to be aggressive and hunt it down to kill it.

Today it inspired me to write this small blog post and to let it live for a while.

By being yourself. Everyone is unique, there was nobody before you just like how you are and there will nobody like you after you.

Standing out is your obligation to your uniqueness…

It was impossible to speak at a large distance, until the telephone was invented.
It was impossible to travel 100km/h, until the car was invented.
It was impossible to go to the other side of the world in a vehicle within 24 hour, until the jet airplane was invented.
It was impossible to find instant information, until the internet was invented.

Change your thinking and make the impossible possible.

Due to some issue with Ruby on Rails I switched to a new GTD tool. It is nice, but a bit different.

You might take a look at nirvanahq.com. It’s a pity it is not open source…

Don’t count on it that you can please everyone in the world. It is better you don’t count on it. You’d better try not to please everyone,  because that will be of a mediocre quality . It is better not to please many, and to produce the best and most honest quality you can. You can count on it that some will hate you for it, other will appreciate it.

Count on the people that love quality you can be proud of.

Deciding to act will give you fruits.

Some fruits might be bitter,

others might be sweet.

But not acting will give you no fruits at all.

Some just for fun parties like:  birthday parties,  mid-summer-nice-weather-BBQ-parties, fuck-the-economy parties .

Or some some long-term goal parties like: graduation parties, changing jobs parties, get-out-of-debt parties.

Have some fun in life and plan some parties.

by preparing, taking initiative, trying something new and take risks.

Opportunities need to be sought.  You need to prepare for your opportunities by learning.

As they say, it is better to be prepared and have no opportunities than have opportunities and not being prepared.

to be aware of what is coming. You will not be able to predict everything, but 80% will do. Make plans for your family, your career,  your entertainment and your future. Only then you will know where to go.

Or as Zig Zigler said: If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time

Sometimes you become unexpectedly sick, well this happened to me, hopefully tomorrow I will be better.
