Hello, steemers! It’s so good to be here!

Proof of Life:

Everyone has a unique story with unique value

After reading a lot of serious books, listening to people like Ray Kurzweil, Jocko Willink, Sir Richard Branson and others, watching a lot of TED talks, I still thought that I had nothing to share until recently.

“You are too boring”, “You are too serious and nerdy”, “Who will ever read your thoughts, dumbass” - my brain kept telling me. Familiar?

The problem was simple: it wasn’t right. It wasn’t even my thoughts. It's phrases, ideas, and concepts of other people which I added automatically to my mind because it seemed appealing and accurate at the time.

Idea: don't hesitate to share everything. It's fine!

Stars

When you see stars, everything's fine

You know that stories when people are talking about how bad it was? Don't slip there.

You know why?

Ask Stephen Hawking, former Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, about "bad stories." While having ALS and have all rights and permissions in the world to complain, he still provides the best piece of advice: "People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining."

Idea: Whining and complaining are great tricksters. I like to refer them as "Negative Actions" because when you complain, you think you're doing something, but it won't get you anywhere.

For some reason, we all have tendency to choose highly balanced actions. We like when everything is in some zone when it’s not too hard and not too simple.

Often, only by doing that, we often get mediocre experiences.

Instead of choosing mediocre experience and not even noticing it, the best thing is to choose extremes to some extent.

For example, read highly scientific books and simple, bright, colorful and inspiring books where imagination flow freely.
Sounds like nonsense, right? Try it. You’ll see the difference immediately.

Thoughts: We love extreme differences between things. It helps us to comprehend the world. We just forgot how to use it.

Many people out there are highly intelligent, but they couldn’t “find a cocoa on Cocoa Island.” They are "The Intellectuals Yet Idiots."

These people always give advice they don't follow. Therefore, they didn't know what they're talking about.

They seem very confident but operate in some weird magical space where they could invent their own rules. Like “Thoughtland.”

Especially those who call themselves “happiness guru.” They talk about happiness while looking quite exhausted and unhappy. Ask them what’s happiness, and they can’t answer directly (because nobody knows).

Why don’t they discuss what makes us unhappy instead?

For example, if you illuminate a dump boss and dull colleges and find a great working environment - you will be happier automatically, right?

Idea: some ideas may appeal superior, yet they don't work at all in reality.

You never know when an apple will fall

On my journey, I made a lot of mistakes. The biggest one is that I didn't finish my degree while it was cheap. I thought it would not be necessary in the future. It turned out, I was right. Partly.
For dumb jobs, for small goals, it's okay.

When I tried to do something bigger, I couldn’t do it because I didn’t have enough resources. Epic fail.

Idea: You never know what you’ll need in the future, so try to acquire assets and skills before it happens.

Beliefs and the Dark Side

The Dark Side is a lie. It’s tempting, but only disciplined Jedi mind can bring value and improve life.

Our mind looks like a Banyan tree. If you have, for example, the wrong roots, every conclusion you make will be based on that and will be mostly wrong.
The mind takes that as a basis to make all those quick thoughts popping in our minds. They are not spontaneous.

It's called beliefs.

Other people can transfer either their knowledge or their limitations. If there is no knowledge, just let them go and find knowledge from other sources. It's natural.

And humans might believe in something that destroys them like the Sith from Star Wars belived that the Dark Side makes them stronger. Their Banyan tree

Idea: if you look closely to ideas and concepts from your past, you can understand better why something doesn't work in your life.

I'd like to contribute to the community and bring value. I already started writing Steem blockchain applications and I will announce them soon.

Also, I'm trying to allocate some time for writing. I have several ideas of articles that people might like.

So, be legendary my friends. See you soon!
