I woke up today and took a flight to LA. I had a pretty good lunch by myself and come back to San Mateo the same day.

My initial plan was totally different but it is what it is.

During the flights, I did work very effectively. I think I did almost a week of the worth of a job. Maybe all I need is to fly somewhere and have lunch and come back.

I’m going to do it when …

I’ll be happy when…

Everyone has some sort of excuse because they want to be ok, and feel good instead of regretful for delaying their life.

That’s one life. Days are longer, years are short

You can’t really describe life, you have to live it. The same principle applies to death.

Death is a concept we think about or try not to think. But, we don’t really understand unless the doctor told us we have a limited time left. Still, it’s an abstract feeling till we experience it.

If you are going to invest in someone, pick very carefully. You are going to spend lots of time & energy. At least worth it to try.

Invest in the right potential and attitude.

Depends on where you are looking from.

What was the goal yesterday?

What do you want to achieve today?

Are you working on an ongoing task or one time shot?

What’s good anyway?

Everything is true in the meantime is not.

Every opinion has favorable and not favorable supporting ideas.

There is no “one” truth. There is only our limited knowledge till we have a healthy discussion.

Your way is the highway if you want to stick on it. It’s safe and secure. But it’s boring.

We don’t know anything about anything.

Who’s going to call us now?

What’s going to happen to us or the world tomorrow?

Who’s going to answer our outbound call/email?

No assurance makes the game more fun. Isn’t it?

Things get harder to be done when you are far from the action. So you either take action or be close to it.

Thinking about everything is hard. All the details & minor jobs.

-They come to ask you what is the job and how they are going to complete it?

That’s bad.

-They don’t ask, and they do anything. They think if they ignore the job, the job will disappear.

That’s worse

I went to order food from the to-go restaurant, and they told me it would be ready in 10 -15 minutes. I said alright. But I didn’t have my phone with me. I don’t wear a watch too. So I went outside the restaurant and sat down and watched people. I can easily ask people, “what time is it?”

But I thought it sounded weird these days; who doesn’t have a smartphone? -even a homeless dude has it. So anyway, I had to figure out how to count 10 minutes by myself.

Started walking around the restaurant, and I saw other people ordering food from other places. I tried to understand how long it takes for each order and multiple with the people standing in lines and getting the total minutes, but it was not easy to predict that. Then, I started to check traffic lights. And I began to count by my head how long it takes the green light to turn red and red to turn green. Each one approximately took 41 seconds. Voila, I need to wait for 7.5 full cycles of traffic lights to go back to the restaurant to pick up my order.
