To my future child,
Over the years I have collected a lot of advices and kept the ones that are quite useful. Here are some simple rules so you can navigate the boring stuff of life and enjoy the less boring parts of it.
I hope that they will help you and that you may add some more to them, pass them along so people you care about will enjoy life with you, because a life in solitary and with no one to share what you know with, is a life not well lived.
Don't touch your face and wash your hands often. Also keep your phone clean.
When somebody says that this never happened before is no indicator that it may not happen in the future. When white swan's are observed, doesn't mean there aren't any black.
Skin in the game is when somebody has both traits of an outcome. Positive outcome - reaping the benefits. Negative outcome - paying a price. You can't and shouldn't be able to transfer the risk.
If you look for the best way to quickly escape reality, read a book. It engages most of your senses quickly. When you read a book you fantasize about it, your eyes and hands are occupied with it.
If you are successful at one thing, then more opportunities will come your way. You will meet more people and more people open even more doors for you which lead to the manifestation of more opportunities.
I feel misunderstood is not an accurate statement. There is no feeling which is called misunderstood. You may feel anxious, frighten or any positive or negative emotion. When you have identified what you are feeling then you can also address it better.
Get out, walk, leave your house, drive somewhere, do something different.
When you don't know what the job is about, hire somebody that is liberal and creative.
Your perception of the world is based on your personality. That is why different personalities have different world views.
Here are some examples of manifestation of negative emotions: Frustration - when approaching a goal and you are blocked. Disappointment - when pursuing a goal and it doesn't work. Grief - when loosing something. Pain - marker for damage. Anxiety - marker for the possibility of damage.
