Fasting sau cum sa tii post negru
Ți-a fost vreodată foame? Cu siguranță că da. Ai vrut în acele momente să te duci imediat la frigider și să-l deschizi și să-l golești pe jumătate? Cu siguranță că…
Experimentul “Freedom Equals Discipline”
E o carte pătrățoasă. Are 200 de pagini negre și un scris mașcat. Am cumpărat-o acum un an și n-am reușit să o citesc dintr-un capăt în altul. Am frunzărind…
The practicality of failure
When I first wanted to write this post I wanted to write about setbacks and not failures. Because even the word failure has an unpleasant ring to it.
Failure sucks. We are afraid of failure. I am afraid of failure. I’m terrified by it. All my life I run the opposite way. I’ve looked for perfection. Everything has to be as I wanted to be or else… it’s a failure.
My ego is so big that I don’t allow myself to fail. Every little setback is considered a failure. And it haunts me. Sometimes for a day. Sometimes for more than that. (more…)
Employee or entrepreneur?
Everyday I hear this kind of advice: “Try your best to become your own boss”, “Start your own business”, “Be self-employed”, “Be an entrepreneur”. If you don’t want to start a business, you’re being looked down by some people. I heard this one on a podcast. Being employed is like wasting your life.

But, let’s get to the point. How do you know you’re being productive? (more…)
How to read more books
I read more books that the average people (this is based on this graphic from Eurostat). This year, I’ve read at least two books/month, and I think in March I’ve read 3 or 4, but some of them were really short.
Reading books, is a bug that I caught while growing up in the countryside of Romania, where during that period you had only 1 TV channel to watch and after I finished up my chores, a lot of free time. So I read books. I’ve filled my mind with adventures and stories that later I used to enrich my playtime. (more…)
