How do you say your name?

This is one of the nicest questions I keep hearing in the states. People are friendly to care to ask, “how do you say your name?” Also a great way to start a conversation with a stranger. They don’t meet so many Aykuts in their life. My last name is another day’s topic:)

Knowing since first day

You probably had a feeling you knew that person was a good/bad one since the first day. Why was that? I think a bit of what energy that person is sending plus your internal judgment models based on your past experiences. Next time, when you feel it, at least try to consider your belief in the process of your decision making processes.

Exclusive feeling

Exclusive = It is only for you or a minimal group of people.

Why do we like being exclusive?

Feel important & different.

It’s all about feeling mostly. As long as you make others feel exclusive, they will come back to you whenever they want to feel “special.”

Be open

Be open to new conversations. You will be surprised how much you will end up with.

The Best Life’s Hack is: Outreach

Don’t overthink/be scared. What are you going to lose?

In the worst scenario, you will hear “No”.

No is an answer anyway.

Unexpected

All the calculations, forecasting, and math models are great to figure out what will happen in the future. Still, you should leave a “big” room for unexpected outcomes. Be prepared. Just in case…

Chill down

I can’t chill down for a longer time. Maybe 5 or 10 times then I keep starting to do something. Either moving around the house or read/watch/do something. Since today, I’ll be slow down my time till next week to enjoy my vacation with my family which is our very first with my baby girl. Let me try and share with results with you all

Hawaii

I’m in Hawaii for a week. Today was the first day. It’s three hours behind of California time zone. I like the weather and water so much. It’s quite strange to be in still US territory but not I the mainland. I kind of get it why American not really not need to leave their country. Whatever you want to do or be with it, you can find it inside of US territory. Hawaii is for sure is a piece of heaven.

Hunger

Hunger is not bad at all feeling. People who are fasting during the day or cutting out their calorie intakes are more alert than on other days. It applies to anything.

Are you hungry for success? Are you hungry for knowledge?

Like Steve Jobs said: “Stay hungry, Stay Foolish”.

Never get fat and lazy.

Last Exit

This is the last exit before the bridge.

Every time I see this sign on when I am driving on I-80 towards Bay Bridge, I get mixed feelings. It is hard to digest depends on your mood. LAST EXIT

It sounds die or live situation. In the worst scenario, you will pass the bridge and drive all the way back to the exit. Not a huge deal ( I’m talking not pre covid 9 am and 5 pm traffic)

I think there is no last exit in this life as long as you are breathing. Always plan b, c, d….

Take it slow and exit if you can that last exit before the bridge. If you don’t, don’t worry drive back.
