Kelionių – į mylimo žmogaus širdį

A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam^blizgesys of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the luster^spindejimas of the firmament^skliautas of bards and sages^išminčius. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.
—RALPH WALDO EMERSON American essayist

Žmogus turėtų išmokti aptikti ir stebėti tą šviesos blyksnį, kuris peršviečia jo protą iš vidaus, labiau nei bardų ir išminčių. Tačiau jis nepaiso savo minčių, nes jos yra jo. Kiekviename genijaus darbe mes atpažįstame savo atmestas mintis; jos grįžta pas mus su tam tikra svetima didybe.

Mastery by Robert Greene is a book that explores the process of becoming a master of your craft, based on the lessons of the greatest masters throughout history. The book outlines the three phases of mastery: apprenticeship, creative-active, and mastery, and provides strategies and tips for overcoming the common obstacles and challenges along the way. The book also presents the stories and insights of various masters, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, and others, to illustrate the principles and practices of mastery.

The book’s main message is that mastery is not a matter of talent, luck, or genetics, but a result of a lifelong dedication to learning, experimenting, and improving. Anyone can achieve mastery if they follow their natural inclination, find a mentor, master the basic skills, cultivate their creativity, and pursue their unique vision.

A possible action plan based on the book is:

• Identify your life’s task, the thing that you are most passionate and curious about, and align your career and goals with it.
• Find a mentor who can guide you, challenge you, and provide you with feedback and opportunities in your field of interest.
• Go through an apprenticeship, where you learn the basic skills, rules, and conventions of your field, and observe the masters and their work.
• Move to the creative-active phase, where you apply your skills, experiment with new ideas, and develop your own style and voice.
• Reach the mastery level, where you have a deep and intuitive understanding of your field, and can innovate and break the rules with confidence and originality.

PS: do not know whats

The ABCDE method, as outlined in “Eat That Frog!” by Brian Tracy, is a prioritization technique for tasks. Here’s a brief explanation:

A: Tasks with the highest priority
Identify tasks that are crucial and must be done, focusing on high-priority items that significantly contribute to your goals.

B: Tasks that are important but not critical
These are tasks that you should do but aren’t as critical as the A tasks. They contribute to your long-term goals and success.

C: Tasks that would be nice to do but have no consequences
These tasks have minimal impact on your goals and can be postponed or addressed when time allows. They are optional and won’t significantly affect your success.

D: Tasks that can be delegated
Consider tasks that someone else can handle effectively. Delegating allows you to focus on high-priority items that require your attention.

E: Tasks to eliminate
Identify tasks that don’t contribute to your goals and can be eliminated. Sometimes, certain activities are better off not done at all.

By categorizing tasks using the ABCDE method, you can prioritize and allocate your time and energy more effectively, ensuring that you focus on what truly matters for your success.

Žemėje gyvena maždaug 8 mlrd. žmonių. Daugumai žmonių tai tik didelis skaičius, ir viskas.

Tačiau jei 8 mlrd. pasaulio gyventojų laikysime 100 proc. žmonėmis, šie procentai taps aiškesni.

Jei turite kur gyventi, valgote sveiką maistą ir geriate švarų vandenį, turite mobilųjį telefoną,
galite keliauti internetu ir baigėte koledžą ar universitetą, priklausote nedidelei privilegijuotųjų grupei.
(Mažiau nei 7 proc.)

IŠ 100 PROC. PASAULIO ŽMONIŲ TIK 8 PROC. GALI SULAUKTI 65 METŲ.

Jei jums daugiau nei 65 metai, būkite patenkinti ir dėkingi. Naudokitės gyvenimu, išnaudokite akimirką. Jūs nepalikote šio pasaulio nesulaukę 65 metų, kaip 92 % žmonių, kurie mirė dėl sveikatos problemų. Branginkite kiekvieną likusią akimirką!

Effective software deliver:

– Pair programmin
– Unit tests
– Continuos integration
– Daily scrums ( Not sure they should be daily. Or at least if they are – there should be not multitasking.
– Sprint ( Personally think Kanban is far better agile methodology)
– Demonstration for product owners ( and especially UX guys, cause they always catch all the things which were not implemented as they intended to be

Notes from book: sci vive by @RichardHeart

7 powerful lessons from the book “Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism” by Fumio Sasaki

1. True happiness comes from within, not from material possessions. Sasaki argues that the pursuit of material possessions often leads to stress, anxiety, and a sense of emptiness. True happiness, he suggests, comes from cultivating meaningful relationships, pursuing passions, and living in alignment with one’s values.
2. Minimalism is not about deprivation; it’s about intentionality. Minimalism is not about living an austere, stripped-down existence. It’s about making conscious choices about what you bring into your life and what you leave behind. It’s about curating a space that reflects your values and priorities.
3. Decluttering is a liberating experience. Letting go of excess belongings can be a deeply liberating experience. It can free up your physical space, mental energy, and emotional baggage. It can allow you to focus on what truly matters.
4. Less is more. Sasaki advocates for a minimalist approach to life, suggesting that having less paradoxically leads to more. With fewer possessions, you have more time, energy, and freedom to pursue your passions and experience life to the fullest.
5. Gratitude is essential. Cultivating a sense of gratitude for the things you do have is a powerful antidote to the materialistic mindset. By focusing on what you appreciate, you can reduce cravings for more and find contentment in the present moment.
6. Minimalism is a journey, not a destination. Sasaki emphasizes that minimalism is an ongoing process of refinement and simplification. It’s not about achieving a perfect state of minimalism; it’s about continuously evaluating your relationship with your possessions and making conscious choices that align with your values.
7. Minimalism is a personal journey. Minimalism is not a one-size-fits-all approach. The degree of minimalism you choose is a personal decision, based on your own values, preferences, and circumstances. What matters most is that you are intentional about your choices and creating a life that is authentic and fulfilling to you.

Everything starts with a planing, but its not the hardest thing. Execute is much harder.

Silver rule: work hard can only the one who knows how to rest.

Gold rule: You are happy when in the morning you want to go to work and in the evening you want to go home.

Diamond rule: God help strength to do what I can, give me knowledge to understand what I can not do or achieve. And most important wisdom to distinct first one from second one.
