Hi everyone
Hope you’re all doing well. It’s been a long time since the last post. I am still alive (Survived the Corona Virus). I’d like to thank you all for sticking around and being patient while I was away fixing and solving the problems of the world.
It might have happened to you as well. Right at the beginning of the years you have already lived, you sat down, thought, made decisions about your personal and private life and about your job, wrote down the things you wanted to do or change throughout the year. Days, weeks, months passed by. You got to the end of the year and when you looked the list you had made at the beginning of the year you found out to your disappointment that you hardly did or achieved any of the things you had put on that list of yours.
How long else do you need to make your dreams and wishes come true? When is it the right time for you to bring to reality the things you have been thinking about over the past years?
“Today is the first day of the rest of your life” some say.
I want you to take the challenge;
Write your list once again. Write it carefully. Because this time you’re going to have a firm plan drawn up right from the beginning. You’re going to commit yourself to your plan and you will hold yourself and only yourself accountable for your failure. Because you are in charge of all your decisions and actions. Stop blaming others now and never do it again.
You are being given a new chance and a new opportunity to shine.
Be a morning person.
Keep your mind open to new ideas.
Spend time with people you can learn from, people who inspire you to be the better version of yourself.
Read more. “Leaders are readers”. Try to broaden your horizon by reading more on serious topics.
Live consciously. Teach yourself to live at the moment. Become aware of what’s going on inside you and around you as well. Teach yourself to focus on the things that matter the most rather than on trivialities.
Accept yourself unconditionally. Be compassionate toward yourself.
Let’s hold our hands and bind our thoughts and hearts together and pray for better days to come. The One who created you is watching over you and whatever is going on in the universe. Just have faith and let your faith bring you peace and love and all the good along with happiness.
Happy new year to you all.

Nietzsche, Regret and Amor Fati
One of the strangest yet most intriguing aspects of Friedrich Nietzsche’s ideas is his repeated enthusiasm for a concept that he called amor fati (translated from Latin as ‘a love of one’s fate’, or as we might put it, a resolute, enthusiastic acceptance…
#Joke
I went to Walmart today , and I was there for literally 5 minutes. When I came out there was a state trooper writing a parking ticket for being in a handicap spot.
So I went up to him and said, "Come on, buddy, how about giving a guy a break?" He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. So I called him a pencil-necked cop. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for worn tires!
So I then asked him if his psychiatrist makes him lie face down on the couch cause he's so ugly. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket!
This went on until he had placed 5 tickets on the windshield... the more I insulted him, the more tickets he wrote. I didn't care. My car was parked around the corner.
