Each person to his own then..


For me, everything involves money. And i'm doing very fine too.

Usually only with a bit of understanding of how something works, I'm able to make more effective decisions. What has helped me tremendously is to not compartmentalise things. Once you do that--which seems more intuitive for me anyway--you start to see relationships and connections between things.

The great problem is that you even see those relationships and connections when no relationships and connections exist.
Take a word like entropy, which is differently defined in physics than it is in math.
Yet most people aren't aware of the difference. Black holes for example for through max that concentrates itself in a point while thermodynamic effect are about mass distributing evenly in space.

If you transfer things out of the context you can't be sure that the work the same way afterwards and it's particulary dangerous when they work mostly the same way which makes it more surprising when they break in the different field.

Knowing things that comes out of different areas is hard.

I think that whether or not you want to develop the relevant skill set for blogging (or anything in fact) depends on what your purpose is. If you really don't want to acquire the skill set, it's an indication that it's not your passion and it's not related to your purpose. And if it's not your purpose the Universe will remind you of that until you give up and do something that is!

This is a very good question from the article:

What skills might you begin building today that could really come in handy 5-10 years from now?

Ten years might seem like a long time, but it doesn’t matter. That time is going to pass no matter what you do. It’s inevitable that you’ll find yourself there someday. When that day arrives, you’ll either have a decade of skill-building behind you, or you won’t. It’s up to you to decide which path you’ll take. If you don’t consciously commit to the path of skill-building, you settle for stagnation by default. Please don’t do that to yourself.

Now, if only I can remember it when I am thinking about long term goals next time.
