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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
