Most Commented Self-Improvement Blogs (526)

Hey,
i'm constructing a studio (for temp accomodations) in a workspace behind my house.

So i'm now getting at the point of ordering the bathroom + kitchen build and am still doubting how to divide it..

Are there here any volunteers that can brainstorm with me?
Or give me some advice at my ideas.

The place is about 33m2. groundfloor. One door to the outside, one door to the main house.

The play field of life is uneven. We all start with different chances, and what we do with it, determines our future.

It is like a game of poker. Some start off with better hands than the others and some have better cash reserves than others. It is up to the player to improve what he holds and to use it to the best effect.

The secret is in what to hold, what to discard and when to fold. But remember that what you discard, you cannot get back, and that there is no guarantee that you will draw better cards than what you started with.

But the best hands do not always win. Very often, the player with the most confidence in what he holds is the winner. And occasionally you meet an opponent stubborn enough to throw money at it and call your bluff. Some you lose and some you win. You cannot always win.

Nor can you gain without risk and if you fold you’re out of the running but sometimes it is better to cut your losses and wait for the next opportunity. We don’t carry all our eggs in one basket.

Life has never been fair and nobody ever promised us anything different. We have to make do with what we are dealt with, take our chances and play the percentages to minimize the risk.


May you all have a wonderful day.

Hello lovers!

So many blogs about this famous virus so I decided to just post one of my own.

March 2, we had our first case here in Jordan
government took extreme measures in order to protect us.
launched awareness campaign
halted travel to/from different countries . Thousands of passengers from the last few planes that landed here were taken straight to quarantine areas - 5 star hotels for 14 days.
suspended tourist travels. I had to cancel my trips.
March 10, halted all educational institutions operations, public and private sectors closed down, started working from home
March 17, implemented our National Defense Law, total lockdown.
March 22, the government allowed Gas and Water deliveries
March 23, the government allowed doorstep deliveries of water, bread, and baby formula
March 24, small neighborhood grocery and convenience stores along with pharmacies, drinking-water stores and bakeries were allowed to open from 10:00 to 18:00 .on foot only to get basic supplies; vehicles are still not permitted.
Thursday till Sunday morning, no one allowed to go outside.

425 total cases down to 165 active cases, 7 deaths.

Things here look very promising and could go back to normal soon.

Our government acted early and able to control the spread so yes, I believe the quarantine, lockdown are helping...

meanwhile...

I'm working from home for more than a month now. The company decided to make some golden hand sanitizer so we are busy and still in business, very grateful for that, many out there are losing their job.

this lockdown thingy keeps me grounded and brought me closer to loved ones and old friends. From a distance I'm able to organize a group of young people back home to do something for our small community and help the most needy there. Sent some help to buy sacks of rice and groceries to give to the poorest of poor. Also able to give back to my beloved old convent school, with my classmates, we were able to raise some funds to give to our sisters in need and some of our mentors then. Feels good!

Somehow this virus is doing us a lot of good, we sit back, reflect and realize the most important things in life.

Be well and stay safe everyone!

I think it may have been because I was frustrated at nothing interesting happening on the site last night that I ended up in one of my funny moods. The kind of mood where I feel like picking a fight; only a virtual fight, I wouldn’t dream of getting myself involved in a real one. So, anyway, I went into the forum and did precisely that; I started on someone I didn’t even know just because he didn’t wholeheartedly agree with something I’d posted.

It obviously annoyed him and he did fight back but I don’t imagine it caused him any distress. It did cause me some, though. I went to bed feeling guilty about it and it took me ages to get to sleep. When I did eventually drop off I was plagued by very uncomfortable dreams; one of which woke me and, not being able to go back to sleep, caused me to get up and have a cup of tea.

So, if anyone reading this blog finds me having a go at them for no apparent reason, sometime in the future, you can take satisfaction from the knowledge that it will hurt me more than you.

When I’m feeling self satisfied or smug about some achievement, the greatness of which is no doubt considerably more impressive in my mind than in anyone else’s, I often find myself the victim of an unconscious part of my psychology that obviously begrudges my feeling excessive pride in myself.

As I go about my business, in a very pleased with myself state of mind, often as not, I will very painfully stub my toe on something or sharply bump my elbow or embarrassingly trip up in front of someone. It’s as if one part of me is saying to another part of me, who the fcuk do you think you are?

And, to be honest, if I was the subconscious part of me, I would do exactly the same.

Dreams are very funny stuff:
Some people believe that they are a prediction of the future, warning, wishes come true, as long as they just behave or act a certain way. Thus your dreams are manipulating you as much as if it was people telling you what to do and you act with total acquiescence.

Lots of predictions are determined from people dreaming it, and believing it. We have Nostradamus for example. Ever heard of him? Ever read his writings? It can be used for just about any happening closely matched. So can we believe that the future can be predicted, or if De Javu is possible? Wishfull thinking or Proof?

Now are we clever or very stupid, is the question!

Success can be defined as the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. In simple words, one reaching their destination.

Accordingly, failure can be defined as the lack of accomplishment of a set aim or purpose or one not reaching their or set destination.

During this process, I found that keeping any set goals or purposes hidden or a secret does help not only reaching a destination faster but, avoiding sabotage from others who failed to reach their own destination, set purpose or aim.

In the end of the day, everyone has their own opinion or the so-called opinion.

Another hearing many differing opinions may lead to confusion.

The workings of the mind do come with intention and purpose in the expression of an opinion.

Not all express an opinion with good intentions or purpose.

It is up to another to discriminate between beneficial and not beneficial, healthy or unhealthy as in the discrimination between right or wrong.

Success as in the case of failure is a matter of choice and how it is defined by one may not be defined by another.

Failure for me is giving up, success is moving forward, marching towards a set aim or purpose, even it is just a small step.

Therefore, progress.

Progress can never be made through giving up marching towards a set aim or purpose, a destination.

Moving forward that is what success really is for me.

Progress and growth.

If there was growth from an experience, no matter how hard or difficult, unfortunate or negative then, there was never any failure.

Failure is the lack of progress and growth.

If another moved forward, even if this was a tiny little step then in reality, this was not failure but, success and a success.

Not reaching a destination but, marching towards a set aim or purpose or destination.

How do you define failure and success?.

Is this dependent on the external or internal?.

Does it regard money, a title or a position?.

Happy Wednesday, April the 11th.

HAVE A NICE SUNDAY.
