Gun Pointed at You

We were wishing new year 2014, and now it’s already mid-april. 4 months have passed since that day. Time travels fast. Every new year or new month, I try and improve one aspect of my life. But I fail. I have constantly written about my failure regarding resolutions. That’s why I have resisted making any […]

Review Philosophies Before Living by Them

I have learned a whole lot of philosophies, techniques and teachings from books, essays and posts written by lots of specialists in their specific fields. I live by their principles and writings after I read their books or articles. But, it eventually fades away. I slowly start to move towards my own rules and way […]

Yawn is a Yawn (The Difference Lies Within You)

You yawn when you feel lazy, and also, after you’re tired working hard. The yawn is a yawn, but there’s significant difference between the two yawns. A person who yawn’s for laziness will never understand the yawn of a guy who yawns after working hard. In the same way, human experience should flow momentarily, with […]

Mark of a Failing Newbie

If someone asks me lots of precautious question before starting something, I automatically assume they’ll not succeed. It’s simply not the way how successful people approach their goals.

Your $50,000 starts to seem too low. So, you move for more. You reach $100,000. Now you move to another neighborhood because […]

Sleep Rules

I have been tracking my sleep for a long time now. Long enough for me to figure out that I need at least 8 hours of sleep. Sometimes, even more. I usually average 8 hours, but sometimes I’m at 9 or even 10. I can’t operate well without sleeping at least 8 hours daily. If […]

Why Ideal Work Environment is Very Crucial

I was focusing on my work very hard. A small notification with tiny metal sound popped out of nowhere. All my focus went down in an instant. It just took that one second for me to lose my focus and stop work. When I work on my laptop, if I get even a tiny sound […]

2014 : How to Set Goals

It’s so easy to create list of goals you want to accomplish. I woke up today morning and brainstormed goals that I can set for 2014. I kept writing. Within 5 minutes, I had list of more than 15 goals. Honestly, it would be hard to tackle even 4 goals from there. It seems that […]

Working on Process Instead of End Result (What Switching to Dvorak Taught Me About Acheiveing Goals)

I’ve successfully switched my keyboard layout from QWERTY to Dvorak. I wanted to change my keyboard layout because of the advantage it had over QWERTY. QWERTY was simply not designed for touch typing. So, changing my layout from QWERTY to Dvorak was a challenge for me because it would be tough. I would have to […]
