We are human beings, not human doings.

I think too much about this:
“If mental activity has a sense of obligation, of being pushed, it can raise the same stress mediators, but if the attitude is one of opening and exploring new possibilities, it activates restorative processes throughout the body.”

I'm reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and this passage stopped me:
"That everyone has the right to learn to read corrupts in the long run not only writing, but even thinking itself."
It made me think about AI.

Life has no inherent meaning; we must define it for ourselves.
This is why I've always disliked the "here's how to succeed in life" advice. What they're actually saying is, "This is what gives my life meaning."
That doesn't have to work for you.

For some people that number might feel small. For others, big. For me, it’s symbolic.

When I think about tech, I have mixed feelings. Labeling it as simply bad or good is too simplistic.
I dislike the impersonal nature of some technology, yet I value the advancements that enrich us as social, introspective, and ultimately human beings.

In customer service, nothing beats a personal touch.
For a small team or solo entrepreneur, having the product creators respond to emails or calls is a significant competitive advantage. Unfortunately, being ignored has become all too common nowadays.

When did it stop mattering to do something with care, and when did metrics or going viral become the only things that matter?
I keep seeing content about strategies, shortcuts, and more nonsense, and honestly, it's starting to get boring.
Enjoy the process ✨

If you use CleanMyMac but enjoy the terminal, I found Mole, and it's really nice.
It's also open source, so it's free.

In a world where everything needs to be shared (or even worse, is made in the first place to be shared), we need to protect our "jardin secret," a French term that refers to things, ideas, or activities that people keep to themselves.

It's sad that nowadays the first thing people ask you when you meet someone new is: What do you do for a living?
The most interesting people I've met have a lot of leisure time, and they use it to nurture their interests, talents and relationships.

"When a routine feels right, everything becomes easier, clearer, and more beautiful. You start noticing details, like when you rewatch a movie. You understand the gears that keep people’s lives running. And you appreciate novelty more—because it shines brighter when not everything is new."

Everything that doesn’t grow eventually dies. Focus on growing—at your own pace, without rushing. But grow, or you’ll end up dying. There are many people who are alive but "dead." They forgot to grow.

One of the worst use cases for a reading-related app. AI has to be there to accompany us in our learning (like a 24/7 mentor) not to give us the answers.
I've thought about it a lot: AI will make dumb people dumber and smart people smarter.
