Personal Highlights

I don’t have anything significant to share from my life this week.

Except that I bought a new pair of earphones and I wrote a new business plan based on the niche that we chose, and I don’t know why I cannot remember what else I did!

It doesn’t happen to me usually, but I guess this was one of those cursed weeks smh.

Business Updates

Did some business plan writing stuff which will be executed and converted to a blog this week.
We weren’t able to send those emails like I mentioned last week but we will do it this week 😤

Thoughts from the past week

When you see a bunch of people sad on social media and then you see other bunch of people who are happy and motivated, you get confused and think that one of them must be pretentious (Imposter){Among us reference 😱} and you might even dislike some of them thinking they are not of your type, but honestly I think you are just being way too judgemental, you stupid piece of shit, let people be how they are.

If they are happy and motivated, then it shouldn’t bother you just because you don’t have a goal. Similarly, if you see someone who is sad, it shouldn’t affect you, unless they are very close (which most people on the internet are NOT)

Ok, that was the part that I forgot to include in the podcast. Btw here is the podcast from last week…

Listen to it on other audio streaming platforms from here

Social Media updates

Tweeting about your active thoughts is a great way to journal your life on the internet

A few people might find it pretentious

But that's the price we pay for showing a part of us that others don't see

My Favourites from the Week

Blogs/Articles 📑

The Price of Discipline by David Perell
Good article! Highly recommended 🔥

I listened to the audio version of this by using a chrome extension called Audiblog but I think you are better off reading this in the traditional style.

Twitter Threads 🧵

My first blog post from 2005https://t.co/XE4w6RlU1D

My first video from 2015https://t.co/6jLFIjJqyc

My first newsletter from 2020https://t.co/4nZbrrvSN0

What's common to all of them?
I think they were all TERRIBLE!

Yet, if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be here.

Start!

Btw I forgot to mention last week my earphones stopped working and so I spent the last two weeks without earphones and I listened to the last podcast on speaker 😥

But since I will very soon start going out for running I thought I should order a new earphone and so I bought a new by selling some crypto which I received as a gift plus money from last week’s gig 😁🙏

Mfw firse bankrupt ho gya XD
