This blog was about reaching prescience… But in the end, I think I should first be trying to live a good life.

I am getting distracted these days. I am going to parties where I flirt with girls, I go to restaurants, I meet new people every day.

I am going slower since then. But it’s not so bad. Life has taste.

I definitely needed to make friends. This is why Bangkok sucked.

Without social stimulation, the human mind naturally becomes quite crazy. And then, it becomes harder to make friends.

Some strategies to make friends⌗

  • go where people like you are (Ko Phan Gan most likely, if you’re reading this blog!)
  • go to Meetups (works in big cities)
  • go to a party, talk to 10 people, one of them is going to want to meet you again.

I vividly remember asking myself this question: “how do I make friends?”

Because in my mind, it was not possible any other way than going to university / engineering school.

… but the friends I made while travelling are 10 times better than the friends I made in school.

So… Making friends is like a skill that can be trained. But also, there is a limit: the quality of the people around.

Quitting my job⌗

I am playing with the idea of quitting my job. Told the C-suite. They are offering me a promotion, but my mind is wandering off. I don’t want to accept something where I do not offer the right amount of work.

It’s okay to go 5 times slower, if it means being 100 times happier.

Also something… If it’s an exponential curve, it’s better to not stop it.

But I am not exponential with this, at all. To be exponential, my focus must be undivided.

Anyway, I’m rambling here :-).

I have taken my decision. Despite it being super stupid, financially, and I should really stay with $dayjob, I’ll go for $nightjob. With this decision, I take the decision of fully owning my ventures rather than getting into an existing one, simply because it feels better.

Okay. I will leave my day job, because I don’t need it, and I prefer to work on one thing, and also, I prefer to work on something I own at least 50%
