เรื่องราวที่ผมต้องการจะแบ่งปันนี้ เป็นประสบการณ์ของผมล้วนๆ ของเด็กคนหนึ่ง ซึ่งเพิ่งรู้ตัวว่าเรียนจบป.ตรีมาสองปีกว่าๆละ เลยอยากมาแบ่งปันความเปลี่ยนแปลงในมิติด้านต่างๆในชีวิตผมซักหน่อย
Over the course of my career, both as an entrepreneur and corporate professional, I’ve gotten a lot of advice…

“The only way to support a revolution is to make your own.” ― Sophia Amoruso, #GIRLBOSS
As little boys and girls we grow up believing very specific things about love and relationships.
Life Changing Nofap!…..
So, like every teenager aged 12–13 I had many friends, and had friends who were expressive and full of fun…. You know the group that is one of the famous ones amongst children! We would eat between classes,go play games in lunch break, have a PROPER SCHOOL LIFE, full of friends and fun.. Then came…
“As soon as sensory input (what you see/hear/feel/taste)…
I have often been deemed crazy; mostly by ex-girlfriends. Of course, I would like to think of it as misunderstood because if I am not bleeding passion, then I do not feel like I am living. Whoa, that sounds extreme. But the reality is when I do not want to do something, I will fight it…
If you are to fail, make it be forward.
You just saying and writing that you gave up.
A mother who is delivered a baby from her own flesh to this world, will never ever give up and inside of your heart you will never give up, you just desperate... now. Time heals all wounds — but we all know, after the wounds disappear, the scars still remaining us about the past.
A book review of the first book that changed my entire mentality towards money.

Old Jews Schmoozing
It’s been a while, I know. When I saw that my last blog was written over a month ago, I freaked out since I promised so many of you (three people!) that I’d write more often. My excuse? To say we’ve been busy this summer is a HUGE understatement. I won’t bore you with the entire story, but suffice it to…
It IS If You’re a Fiction Writer
We know the drill…it has been a tough go of things lately.
But I can tell you for sure, that when I examine why I hadn’t texted someone in the last two days it is always because I wasn’t thinking of them and that means I am not that into them.
Yes, I think that is definitely part of my own conclusions from years of dating and part of the impetus for writing this story.
I have never had a friend that knew everything about me. Rather I have what I call “occasional friends”. Meaning I have a friend for almost every different occasion. I have friends that I tell drama and gossip to, ones that I talk about real world problems…
Charming people is about making them feel good around you.
“Henry VIII was a Renaissance Man.” I remember hearing that term in a history…
This month is our twentieth wedding anniversary. Usually I’d find some good pics of us a day before and would write a Facebook post about them. This year I’m a bit more excited, maybe because of the number ‘20’. So I wrote this small post to express my…
I love helping others. It’s something I’ve enjoyed since I was little. My dad has always been very servile, and I guess I took it from him.
However, I’ve realized that every few years I enter what I call a total recall stage. When in this phase I look back at what…
Oh, Jon Scott! You are the BEST!
Take a bow for the “poltergeist” rhyme! Another witty poem. I LOVE the “ghost” theme — bravo, friend!
Thank you for the grins and smiles! Hope you are well these days!
Expectations … I fight with them every day. Expectations of the person I am, the person I am becoming, and the person I want…
I have been pondering your response, Jessica Wildfire. I think age might have a role in this, too.
It feels like being in my 40s (combined with my personality, having a kid, and having processed my divorce thoroughly) contributes to my desire not to waste a lot of time on someone who is not a good fit/incompatible/not…
This is such an important topic Nina Jervis! Thank you for writing what we need to read more about on Medium.
Your story begs so many questions. Two are at the top of my list:
1. I learned that things don’t always turn out the way you planned, or the way you think you…

They’re stealing your passion, your purpose and your happiness
3 min read.
As I write this, it is currently 3 AM and I have just boarded my flight from New Dehli to Chicago. I have put off writing this blog post for the past week simply because I could not find the words that would truly encapsulate my experience as a Borlaug-Ruan intern. As I finished up my last…
Talking about balancing life and business on The Freedom Chronicles
I’ve realized after some luck traveling with wonderful people, and building cool stuff with great folks; one of my top drivers in life is “happy company”.
Happy company, has two facets:
1. People that are “full of life”, with a childlike spirit; those who always see the glass half full and love what…
It's common for people to wait a quite good amount of time to start a new thing that they don't know much, here I am going to explore the this ideology and suggest a way to create a sense urgency to complete it.
A introductory manifesto to my own survival:
August 13, 1972
It was a sunny hot summer Sunday. Not different than so many August Sundays in the past, except this Sunday I stayed home from the daily visits to the hospital.
If anyone can refute me — show me I’m making a…

Maybe it’ll help you, too.
So you see these two roads

Love is a beautiful feeling and honestly, it has a mind of its own. It pays no homage to the one whom it possesses and it definely request that you put a respect on its…
The way we retrieve our memories will not define our lives, but the way we order them, yes:
Joy, sadness, gratitude, pride, grief, despair, remorse, passion, repentance, hope, love.
Go get and trace your destiny.
First things first, I’m not a writer so apologies for any typos and ‘lack lustre’. In saying this, I’ve been meaning to write for a while now and didn’t want this to be the hurdle.
So jumping right in…
Mum hates the rain and thinks going to places like Cornwall and Scotland is ridiculous, as why would you want to spend your summer holidays in places where it’s going to rain for most of the time your there.
Do you own your possessions, or do your possessions own you?

Yes, it feels like we’re going backwards somehow. I feel so outdated! When I meet someone who can communicate with a certain amount of integrity and insight, it’s a happy surprise!
Thank you for reading and responding!
Why seek uncertainty when we are perfectly comfortable in our warm fuzzy cocoon, you ask? Because life doesn’t stand still. And…

What’s Millimbo you ask? Well, it is defined as my lame attempt to describe the loopy phase a lot of millenials I know, including myself, are going through that involves questioning purpose, life, happiness, love, friendship and many other aspects of our being while listening to a Prateek Kuhad song (as I am…
Honey, your beliefs seem so fixed in place…
There are a number of folktales that relate to the elderly being perceived as outcasts. This is nothing new. Only certain societies value the elders of the community.

I’ve always wondered: “Is there a root to why people get angry at situations, people or themselves? Is there one main reasoning behind it all or does it depend on the situation?
Letting go. It seems to be in short supply these days. I certainly hear it from my clients: “I just can’t let go!” They might cling to anger, bad relationships, control, resentment, worry, and the stories about who they are…
When you are struggling it’s hard to accept your life just the way it is. You think about how you deserve better, or how long you have gone without. You can easily recall all of the hopeless moments and words that…

Your current story doesn’t need to define who you are or where you’re going. Yet…
Ha! You probably thought this was going to be about work again.
Not today, though. This is my last day of break, and the only thing I’m working on is avoiding all things work.
After being in New York City for some time now, I think I’m now at a place where I can really reflect on things and think about what…
Very thought provoking, I too recently have been contemplating and re-evaluating my own life and what is important in it.
By doing this I have found a kind of peace with where I am in life and who I am today.

These past few days have been a whirl wind and whenever I move up on tablets I unfortunately have to suffer a few days and its been pretty tough. So the brain is on non stop and for some reason thinks that its got one in over you. This isn’t helped with…

Wait! Harmonious passion is economical success and surviving?
All the points you mentioned about harmonious passion is true but I deny it as “Passion”, because this denotes surviving, financial success and being part of repeated social cycle.
It’s funny how two Latin words
Can make it all so clear
I really don’t know how to feel
Now the knowing is so near
Yesterday, I posted a quick piece on what lies behind inaction. And today it’s all about a confession — I have been a terrible procrastinator throughout my life and wince at the very thought of all those lost opportunities. There, I’ve said it…
“Instead of focusing on what’s good for you, your measure of success requires gaining other’s acknowledgment.”
I believe social media has also played a role in creating this dynamic of gaining other’s acknowledgment. This statement is so powerful to me because I have caught myself looking for other’s approval. I agree that…
For most of the times in our life, we are in a struggle. Almost everyone is going…
In the same way we’ve adopted cleaner sources of energy, we should also be looking at alternative forms of maintaining social security. For a government to simple “slice and dice” all forms of security, saying they have no choice, simply shows a lack of interest. Governments that can’t use creative thinking, or can’t read reports like the ones you…
I have come to a conclusion, that there will always be a thought of — maybe — or better still that sense of doubt that…
You probably don’t need more money.
Or more time.
Or more ideas.
Or more help.
Or more followers.
If there was somehow a way for you to travel back in time, I’m almost certain that there would be one small thing you would change. This small thing would radically alter the course of your life, possibly even change it entirely. Whether it’s introducing yourself to that one person you were meant…
Marvin,
I absolutely agree.
I am an early riser myself. I tend to get up between 5 and 6, but I don’t think the time you get up matters as much as what you do with your first and last hour of the day. The first hour gets you started on the right track, and the last hour sets you up to be successful…
What I like about camping
Waking up in the morning to the sound of birds chirping and the wind in the trees is one of the best sensations or is it feelings ever. There is something about nature’s sounds that…
As we celebrate our freedom today in this world, can we use one day to stop for a while and ask ourselves, “Are we really free?”
Free from our compulsions, free from our mind who stops us to grow, free from our social bondage which confines us within known…

THE TRUTH
Yeah we all talk about enemies doing this and that, but have you ever asked yourself “who really is the enemy?”. The truth is that most of us are our own enemies and also our past is also our enemies, its not always that person who is fighting with you or the person who doesn’t like you( everyone can’t like you).
The sun will bring more than you think it brings,
Just like the moon.
The night is warming in different ways than the day.
It brings everything together, it slows you down.

Masculine Sexual Fire
I read this term last year for the first time in a book on taoism. Yet reading it did not make me feel as if, how do I explain it, make me feel as if I am reading something new. Then it hit me, I have been feeling this “sexual fire” since god knows when. It somehow is the best way to describe this…
Finding answers to Life’s questions
Very thoughtful, Charles!
I couldn’t help thinking however that you were slightly straw manning the theory behind projects like Tribe of Mentors.
Of course, there’s not a 1 on 1 connection between any behavior and any outcome and in psychology we never know causation. Those points are all well taken.

Conversation between Neila of Tellus (3rd planet from the star TRAPPIST-5) and Jimmy Stone (head…
All good arguments, Joe, but as I wrote this morning in “It’s Just A Dog,” justifying our distractions doesn’t alter the fact that we have too many. I get your point about someone taking care of something “important” while the game is in play. Unfortunately, I spent too many years on subways and streetcars, and the majority of texts (okay, I’m a…
I have frequently been told that I am a very lucky person for knowing exactly what I love, what my passions are, and what I want to do for the rest of my life. That’s a rare feeling for most people, I’m told. Most people feel creatively sterile…

Such truth in so many ways.
I went through a distance relationship as well. After three months of emails and on the phone (Skype connection was always breaking up) I had enough and moved for an extended time from Switzerland to Canada.
To induce and derive empathy comes from exposing ones vulnerability and showing compassion.
It takes courage to stand metaphorically naked, all flaws exposed, for the world to see.
But by doing so, we show our humanity, our beauty, our collective struggle.
Super inspiring! I am only 21 years old — far away from retirement but already have the mindset that is described in the article!
I believe that working a 9–5 for a steady paycheck (that is not even secured, as you write) is not fulfilling for me. Currently I am doing a full time internship and in my spare time bringing my…
I feel like I’ve been held back from a lot of things that may disturb the energy I’m putting into creating my reality, my future, my destiny. Often times, the things I really want to say isn’t coming out of my mouth the way I say it in my head; I can feel the fear projecting from my entire…

This summer I tasked myself with writing a book. Now it has definitely been a roller-coaster of a journey, with tons and tons of learning; I am also enjoying every aspect of it. So far, I have learned:

Nice. Such a small word. Yet, it has so very many meanings and feelings around it. “Nice” was one of those words that I encouraged my students NOT to use in their writing. “Nice” is very overused and too general, I would say. The word is used to describe everything from people to…

The one-size-fit-all fallacy can be extended to other domains like for example medicine. Do drugs work the same away on all who take it?

Belatedly, targeted treatment has gained some acceptance in…
Everyday, a great food product made in the U.S.A.
Sup, as you know, I've started my journey with Leangains almost a year ago. On September 14th 2017 my weight was 104 kg. Now my weight is 87.5, to be honest I wasn't doing LG properly for a month or so + my body constitution was always kinda big, and losing fat for me is a challenge. But so…
The satisfaction this woman describes is a poverty. If she finds more satisfying relationships this won’t have any possibility of feeding her.
