learn to appreciate poetry

Read and appreciate poems as much as possible before I start to compose my own poems.


do something original

Doing something original is much more difficult than do something difficult.

You never know when this will happen.

You just keep learning new things and exploring other idea spaces.
Hopefully, some epiphany will appear.

Even if you get nothing out of this process, you still have a lot fun while learning.

Life is only a process anyway.


do something difficult
take_it_easy 3 days ago

Nothing is difficult if you focus your time and determination on something and do it in a systematic and gradual way.

To do something difficult is to curb the urge of taking the easy way out and getting some instant satisfaction.

In the morning, the easy way out is to stay in the bed around 6am. Instead, you get up and exercise for half an hour or more.

At work, the easy way out is to maintain and fix the existing things. Instead, you think about some new initiatives and projects.

In the evening, the easy way out is to sit on couch, surfing the web or watching the TV. Instead, you read some technical books you always want to read.
