Playing rules

Suddenly, you might not know what to do next. Things will happen not following by book rules. 

The worst most likely not going to happen. You’ll survive with a couple of wounded areas. 

Then start writing your own rules. 

Rule 1: Anytime, anything happens to anybody. 

Not knowing

It’s hard to know where we are going to end up in our relationships, ventures, or even in our lives.

Where we start for what we are doing is not define where we are heading to. Any decision is critical. Minor or major. 

We only guess or calculate the results but are never sure what is actually going to happen.

Not knowing is a blessing and curse. That’s why worrying too much in our imagination is not helpful. Let’s live and experience it. 

Buying time

Money can help you to buy time. Instead of you doing the work, you can hire someone to do it for you. In exchange for their work, you pay for them. 

That means your time is worth more than what you pay. Next time when you do something, ask yourself: 

  • Am I doing this because no one can do it, or can I hire someone?

Almost everything can be doable by others. Buying time is the best money can purchase.

Stay hungry but not too long

When we get hungry, we start looking at what we can eat. 

Two options: cook or go eat somewhere. 

Third one: Don’t eat. But for how long? 

We need to function to live. Thus we need enough calories. 

But longer we starve ourselves longer we think food. 

What we are missing in life, that’s what our main topic till we get that—home, car, promotion, girlfriend, etc. 

If you can’t go longer vacation, don’t delay your needs too long. Take the cheapest/shortest flight and change your scenery on the same day trip. 

Stay hungry but not too long. 

Relative time

Some days are longer, and some days are shorter. For sure, years are passing so fast. 

It’s relative also where you are spending & spent your time too. Another critical part is who you are with the most important times of your life.

Sunset Boulevard Billboards is changing

I’m in LA for a couple of days. I stay at Sunset Boulevard which is full of billboards right/left on the road. This is an iconic street for Hollywood movies and traditional TV Shows. Now, you can see Netflix Shows, SnapChat Short Series, and new media platform ads are more than traditional entertainment brands.

Sunset Boulevard Billboards are changing and our content-consuming behaviors are also too.

This is normal

Your normal is not others normal. And this is normal. You think what you do is what supposed to be. But, they don’t get it because they don’t know what you are talking about. Yes, you speak the same language but not the same meaning. 

Unique for here

“We are famous for our bread. Our bread is the best on the west coast.”

“We are proudly serving our own water. This is the highest quality of water money can buy”

You probably heard similar phrases before. Every place has a special attachment for people who are from there. You might not get it because you don’t see the places from their eyes.

No, you can’t do that

You have to wear a mask while you are shopping unless drinking and eating.

-What if I can order a coffee?

-Then you are fine!

-Ok, I’ll order a coffee. Hold my cup and pretend to drink it.

As you can see some of the rules are ridiculously stupid. People who pay for $4 bucks a coffee and earn a sudden privilege.
