life after death

Of course, there's life after death

For those in the living world

For those left behind

For the rest of us

formula for success

part luck + part privilege + part hard work + part talent

Luck and talent cannot be controlled

Privilege can be influenced or bought

That's why we focus on hard work

But if we don't succeed, it's not always because we didn't work hard enough

And actually it's almost always luck

autonomy and accountability go hand in hand

Autonomy without accountability is useless. You're free. Free for what? Free to do what? We need to specify. You're not free to fly like a bird and fall like a stone. You're not (always) free to travel without a visa.

Direction is important with freedom.

If you want autonomy you have to be accountable for something. The reverse is also true: If someone holds you accountable for something, they should give you autonomy.

perfectionism is a disease

Don't chase perfection but do strive for excellence.

Excellence is a virtue.

Punch above your weight.

skipping months

Days turn into weeks, weeks into years I skipped months, spent wiping off my tears

voting, elections, demo cracy

If we argue that by not participating in elections, we're making a statement that we reject the political system and we don't even want to take part in the system, we're being stupid

We're already a part of the political system, politics pervades the society and us

Elections give us a chance to influence the system

By not voting, you're making yourself more powerless
