Never pay a mentor money

If someone is mentoring you it means that they're so much greater than you that yo can't rationally explain why they would spend any of their precious time on you.

... yet they still do. How can this be explained? 

Simple: they aren't spending time on you. The mentor is getting...

Have Courage

Stop being so scared of being something you aren't. You aren't anything but the things you do and the thoughts you think. This is always changing. You never really are. More so you are becoming. Quit being scared of becoming what you want to become rather than something you think...

What is a good relationship?

The world has always been filled with a lot of shit. Somewhere, someplace there are people dying for no fault of their own. There is always suffering and unfair exploitation. Long time ago you could get by without knowing much of it, only the things you could see around you....

200 Words a Day
The magic of 200 Words a Day

Once Brandon asked me something along the lines of "where has the magic of 200 words a day gone?"

Emails like texts

Most of my coworkers now had Gmail on their phone. Their response rates were really quick but their replies were often looked less like emails and more like chat replies. Answering emails exclusively from a computer this annoyed me. First it made the discussion less thoughtful and more prone to...

I found the Diaries of Greco
During the hunger

When I was 20 I didn't know how to fill my belly. Some days I ate one meal, not because I was fasting or doing OMAD because those things weren't hip yet, Instead I'd find that it was late afternoon or early evening and there was no meal in sight. ...
