Difference and Similarity

We tend to dislike people that are different from us. From appearance, behavior to belief. That’s why racism, discrimination and religious war exist.

But what happens when everybody look alike, behave in similiar ways and believe in the same ideas? What happens when differences no longer exist?

We now want to be different.

We change our appearances, act rebelliously and start believing in weird things. We do everything we can to stand out from the crowd.

We are not logical creatures like we often believe. Far from it. We, the human beings, are irrational.

On Writing More

OK. I have had enough with the feeling of “not wanting to publish a new entry just simply because I’m not fully satisfied with it.”

So I am going to write and publish more regardless of the “writing standard” which somehow I set for myself.

Writing helps me learn. A lot. The more I write, the more I learn. I am not going to let that stupid standard keep me from writing more and writing often.

Expect more articles from me.

Envy vs Admiration

One of the best ways to succeed is surrounding yourself with successful or talented people. You should make friends with them, like them and learn from them, however, do not ever admire them.

Instead, envy them.

They are more successful than you. By envying them, you have a great motivation to learn harder and work harder with the hope that someday you will be in their league.
On the other hand, you admire somebody only when in deep down of your mind, you know that it is impossible for you to be like them. In other words, you admit your own defeat.

Given a group of people that you wish you had their successes:
If you envy all of them then this is the best case. It means you will be like them someday.
The second case, if you admire them while still are little jealous. This is worse but still ok. You still have some chances to be like them.
Lastly, if you truly admire them without even a smallest envy, then, my friend, you are doomed forever.
