Doing Lots of Different Things

I have been going through lots of change in my life right now. I’ve grown past my old self. Writing was very important goal for me some years ago. It still is, but other interests like photography and film-making is taking over it. There’s always a change in perspective and interests in life. If not, […]

Improving Along with the Blog

I hate the blog post I wrote yesterday. It was uninteresting, had no underlying lessons, and was just a waste of a blog post. However, I don’t regret it though. My first instinct was to delete the post, or write again. I didn’t do both. Instead, I thought of posting it as it is. It’s […]

Stop Craving Short Term Satisfaction

The only time we regret our action is when it’s not yielding the result we want in the long run. My friend had birthday some days ago. After celebrating his birthday, we thought of eating cakes. There was a store nearby which offered 40% discount after 8 PM. It was already 9:30 PM when we […]
