Sooner or later you will face problems that might be a bit hard to swallow. The can be so painful and difficult to deal with such that it is a bit unconventional to not start complaining about them. However, complaining will not remove the problem, nor will bring a beneficial result. Taking the means of solving the problems will change the outcome. Continue reading

You are constantly thinking something, whether that is about your past events or situations, your current state and task that you are dealing with, or a future plan that you have put on your to-do list. Sometimes it is possible that among these cases, you might not feel inspired and ready to do your work, and a new thought pops up into your head that you might not be doing the right job, or that you have not found the passion of your life yet. You start to make different false connections in your mind to justify these situations, and maybe even identify these cases as indicators that you have are not productive; you are a lazy person. Wait a second: what if that is just another thought that is probably wrong? Continue reading
Yesterday I was travelling by bus and I wanted to talk to a person who was staying behind me, but I was somehow feeling uncomfortable doing that. I hesitated in the beginning and then I started to think that I will not look good in front of him and then the overthinking paralyzed me and stopped me to start the conversation that I wanted to make. I have read before about a method that would help me start the conversation, but I did not implement it in this case and I regret that lost moment. Continue reading
We hear these two words a lot of times, sometimes they are used in place of the other one. Because currently in this blog I am writing mostly about self-improvement, I will try to illustrate a minor, but very important difference that exist between them. First, I will explain their definitions and those definitions will be used below. Continue reading
On February 26, an image of a dress showed at a Tumblr page, for which people were arguing whether it has a black and a blue color, or a white and a yellow color. A lot of people started to give their opinion based on their look and say which type of color they saw, and found it a bit weird that their opinion was not the same as the opinion of other people. I was curious to see this image and, because I am a bit biased, I tend to view things from different points of view that are mostly related with extracting the benefits from them. As a result I decided to write this article about the lessons that we can get from this dress that got a lot of attention recently. Continue reading
Yesterday during the Software Engineering class, the professor mentioned the Boehm’s spiral model which is a risk-driven software process framework, which was proposed by Boehm in the year 1988. This model assumes that changes are a result of project risks and includes explicit risk management activities to reduce these risks. Even though it was mentioned in a Computer Science class, it made me think about the potential implementations that this method can have in our self-improvement journey. Continue reading
If you go to a restaurant and order a meal, you are automatically given the right to get as much salt as possible for free. However, just because it is free, you do not end up putting a lot of salt into your meal, as it will decrease its taste. Similarly, you should not do a lot of things just for the sake of your capabilities of doing them.
It is not secret that a lot of people wake up being tired, uninspired and afraid to face the world, because of a challenging project that they have to do, or a tiring report that they have to write for their boss. This way the alarm clock gets a usual knock down and the snooze button is exhausted of repeated presses that your finger does, while you are still having a dream of swimming with dolphins. Two hours later, you get into your job late and find an angry face of your boss pointing figures at you for the declining rate of the profits of the company. However, a simple habit could change your day. Continue reading
Treehouse is a rare company that has been going against all the odds: despite the fact that it does not use email, it has become an example of success. Yes, you read that well. Even in the twenty-first century and being as an Oregon-based tech company, it should impress us and make us think that email might not be that important. Continue reading
There are people out there that are very ambitious and that want to have their name included in history books, so that their children can be proud of their ancestors. There is nothing wrong with being ambitious, but these type of goals usually require a lot of time to manifest and happen, and they might give the person a lot of stress. However, these ambitious people can start their journey towards their objectives, with something very small such as making the bed.
