My values - beliefs, philosophiesThere may be no shortcuts to life, but there are tricks! (life hacking) reach for the stars and if not at least you'll land on top of the world |
- I take the stance of risk aversion
- if there's - perceived risk, uncertainty
- I don't - move forward
- unless - I know - better, what -> do
- reasons
- everything's relative
- what seems like something - might not be
- no one can predict - fut
- so - why try?
- everything's relative
- -> - create gains
- from - loss aversion
- I don't - move forward
- I only take risks - when there's a 0% chance of failure
- if - risks aren't - issue
- then - I proceed
- by working w/ - absolute risk
- -> - work w/in - relative
- if - risks aren't - issue
- I avoid - creating systemic risk
- if there's - perceived risk, uncertainty
- there's a solution to everything
- we - don't always know it
- just have to - find - it
- we - don't always know it
- turn a negative -> a positive
- >good, <bad
- ex - if people steal
- have stuff that you want them to steal
- to
- better themselves
- have a teaching moment
- to - explain
- how to - be
- better
- good
- how to - be
- to - explain
- to
- have stuff that you want them to steal
- always be ahead of the class, so you know what the teach you. You teach the school, the school doesn't teach you
- never rely on anyone for anything - always be independent. Yet, seek to improve the world - leave it better than you found it
- egoistic atruism > effective altruism = outcome
- reason - can't know how much someone else benefits from doing well
- but - you can always guarantee your own benefit - with possibly others benefiting, with the risk they won't
- others benefiting - a +, as the guarantee makes it already done
- effective altruism - could lead to a -
- the least egoistic altruism could be - is 0
- unless - you
- don't finish your work
- do the wrong work
- i.e. - egostic compels efficiency and productivity - effective altruism - doesn't
- reason - you're not at the receiving end - of effective altruism
- there's no way to know how it'll be received - to know what to work on - so it doesn't get worked on
- reason - you're not at the receiving end - of effective altruism
- i.e. - egostic compels efficiency and productivity - effective altruism - doesn't
- unless - you
- it's not a worry - compared to effective altruism - because at least you get the benefit. With effective - there's a risk that no one benefits from the effort
- egoistic altruism - utilizes effort
- others benefiting - a +, as the guarantee makes it already done
- but - you can always guarantee your own benefit - with possibly others benefiting, with the risk they won't
- reason - can't know how much someone else benefits from doing well
- don't let anything tell you what to you - you tell it what to do. You tell the company how to run it, not the company tell you how it runs
- Go with the best pitch possible to the most deserving and if they don't like it, take what you have, improve it, and go to someone deserving of it.
- if you wonder why those around can't understand you, visually zoom out from you to them and you'll see how small you are in comparison to the world around you. Seek to be known - and thus understood
- run life, don't let life run you - always be ahead of the game
- soar with the eagles
- If you can't live your dream, live it through others
- if something doesn't exist, build the infrastructure for it
- leave the world better than you found it.
- make what has no value have value - 'when life gives you lemons, make lemonade'
- never settle for less than best
- we all have a place in society
- it's about finding the right role
- never settle for less than best - always seek better until you get there
- children should be able to make decisions for their adult life, not adults
- always look for and go in the right direction <- never look at the wrong direction
- my life is about bringing ideas -> reality to elevate everyday circumstances
- health - #1
- always be better than best
- feel comfort in being alone - take in the freedom to do what you want
- always deal with problems until they're gone
- just don't get sucked into them where they take away from everything else
- don't run away from them
- learn everything from a -> z to know it all
- and not blame yourself if a mistake's made (unless you actually made it, then learn from it)
- never deal with your feelings directly - always find the source and deal with that
- use school to tell you what you need/want to know, not how to think
- always give credit for it deserves
- let everything take responsibility and put the blame where it belongs
- The more you can use from the least possible, the less people will want to take from you and the better you'll survive. Think about who best gets served the resource based on which direction they go and who needs it and who won't benefit and where the world would head if they have it
Once you have something, if you don't use it: 1) someone else will, 2) you never really had it to begin with. How well you use the resource determines how much you have it - you can be private in a 0 privacy world
- reason - attention span
- once people find something out -> then they stop paying attention
- after that - then whatever is done won't be noticed
- once people find something out -> then they stop paying attention
- reason - attention span
- everything (people, etc.) gives what it is able to - so we can't expect more than that
- take what we get and say thank you or choose a more utilizable entity
- jobs are called just that, because no one else wants to do them
- that's why you have one
- there's just something that
- has a need
- with an ability for you to fulfill it
- has a need
- take care of existing problems before adding new
- even if it comes at a loss
- because it wasn't meant to be
- unless it's extremely needed and will help
- even if it comes at a loss
- if something doesn't happen - it's not meant to be
- it's best to find out why to move forward
- need to have a foundation to build from
- avoid - house of cards
- can't build a house on straw/sticks
- like Matthew 7:24-26
- anyone who thinks something is annoying doesn't correct the problem and instead lives with and complains about it
- meaning they create their own misery instead of seeking to understand
- overthink - until I get it!
- this is my vibe - I live in
- I'm a president supporter
- until they break the law
- independent of governmental systems
- whatever they don't do, I do myself
- as I shouldn't rely on anyone for my needs
- whatever they don't do, I do myself
- the more you do correctly, the more you can spot incorrectness
- the best to learn from are the leaders and criminals
- care > love
- love - doesn't continue what's admired
- it's just admiration - which doesn't help outside of fulfill enjoyment
- love - doesn't continue what's admired
- life isn't fair, but it's more the players that aren't
- life gives everyone a fair chance to survive
- w/ - an uneven playing field
- but w/ capabilities to supersede it
- w/ - an uneven playing field
- life gives everyone a fair chance to survive
- don't wait on others to live your life
- if you're right and they're wrong - go with what's right and stay away from those that're wrong
- there's there's no forgiveness, just acceptance and trying to move forward towards better
- do no harm principle - while trying not to do anything wrong to begin with
- other name - primum non nocere
- do no harm principle - while trying not to do anything wrong to begin with
- it takes a village to raise a child, but a society to raise an adult
- Epitome of the rat race - if you give someone a dollar and they spend it - now they're short a dollar and have to work for it to get it back
- I don't believe in touching animals - because they have a right to their own body and autonomy
- talking about something is a distraction from getting stuff done
- think in terms of - good and bad > negative and positive
- i.e. pivoting - key to life
- bad ideas exist rather than bad people
- people get mixed (i.e. lumped) in with their desired
- challenges are opportunities
- if you make excuses you'll bury yourself in suffering over what 'can be' but never happens
- nothing's hidden - just hard to find for you
- problems aren't problems until we make them one
- Avoiding faulting others for one's own ineptitude
- Individual burden is societal resilience
- life is about how quickly things can go back to normal and
- our body has everything we need built-into it
- we are ideas built into material
- our selves (i.e. soul) = connecting balance - head in sky <-> feet on ground
- I don't believe there's criminals just systems that allow for it
- instead of people telling each other how bad they are till they feel bad about themselves, why not focus on helping each other get better?
- if we can't make it better, why make it worse?
- problems won't exist if we don't make them one
- just because there's better doesn't mean we don't work with the here and now
- safety's only an issue if you don't know what you're doing
- if only people looked at themselves the world would never have any problems
- destiny is within our control to be a part of it - but it's not in our control what it is - that's decided by fate
- destiny is just fate that's meant for us - it's a desire that's in our fate to seek
- fate being the direction and destiny being the outcome
- the harder something is now - the easier it is later
- life is special - something to cherish
- whenever a hard point in life is hit - it might be hard then but it's the lowest to be - and that there's better
- to seek it - would mean it's only uphill from there
- that life is hard but it doesn't have to be
- that it can get better
- instead of being angry at what you do wrong, why not focus on/look forward to/be happy about what you can do right?
- I judge but I don't judge
- If I is replaced with We, then even Illness becomes Wellness
- if someone can't respect your wishes - how can you respect their trust?
- fighting isn't about the fight - it's about living life and doing what's right
- i.e. - perseverance - being where you should be
- i.e. - ideals - living up to them
- i.e. - perseverance - being where you should be
- if you receive rather than give - that would be selfish, not selfless
- (source - someone else)
- Childlike = optimistic, curious
- Childish = can’t handle yourself
- details distract from what is
- still - life abundance is in the details
- others shouldn't be victim to our own incompetence
- it's all about - perspective
- even if someone hurts you - in the end we're all beings with souls inside that're in need of others in the end
- don't tell someone to do something - unless you
- plan to help them out with it
- take on the burden of one's consequences if it goes wrong
- >> threats to society - caring - <<, >>
- it really is a shame that society tells us to follow dreams - when really we should focus on our responsibilities, get them right, and make sure they are what's right to work on!
- if people are irresponsible - that's on them
- you don't have to pander -> that - by participating
- just because they are
- you don't have to pander -> that - by participating
- if someone is doing something wrong
- instead of correcting them - when they do something wrong
- they'll fix it themselves
- when they see their wrongdoing as wrong
- except - when they feel justified
- then - you can't fix that
- except - when they feel justified
- when they see their wrongdoing as wrong
- they'll fix it themselves
- instead of correcting them - when they do something wrong
- badness is not worth your time to pay it any attention - to be given legitimacy like that.
- everyone's privileged in their own way
- if you're alive - you're privileged to exist
- even vice versa
- everyone gets an experience no one else does - and that's unique to ourselves
- if you're alive - you're privileged to exist
- melding -> melange <- mixed
from - others
- calm consideration is so much more effective than hasty condemnation
- a healthy person has many wishes, a sick person has only one.
- genes load the gun, diet pulls the trigger
