Life is Beyond Logic.
Watching YouTube is a Charity. It is like making donations.
When you watch YouTube, someone is getting money. You make google to pay to someone. You donate your time to watch videos, in turn somebody get paid.
So don’t have guilt like you are wasting your time by watching YouTube. Actually, you donate your time to make somebody getting paid.
Donate your time by watching YouTube videos. Time Donation.
Life is full of delusions. In due course of life, delusion changes periodically. There is no fixed delusion throughout the life.
We are without any delusion when we born. As the mind grows/matures, it builds up delusion strongly.
Our mother, father, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunties, grandparents, spouse, children, friends, neighbours, job, business, education, degree, money, rich, poor, healthy, sickness and etc., all contribute to develop a delusion about ourselves.
Whatever goes into our mind, will be used to create a delusion. Addition to or deletion from our my mind alters the delusion we have.
Delusions are genetically influenced too. Like our body, mind are genetically influenced, the delusion our mind holds is derived genetically.
All religions, philosophies are trying to get rid of the worldly delusion from mind – a mind free from wordly delusions. They want to fill the mind with Divine delusion. But man is always attracted by worldly delusions.
How it would be life without any delusion? Nobody knows, those who know, they don’t tell.
But, every night while sleeping, we are detached from our delusions. Deep sleep without dreams is without any delusion both worldly and divinely. Deep Sleep is a bliss.
I am stressed out due to too many marketing and sales phone calls i receive everyday.
I receive marketing/sales calls from personal loan, flexi loan, health insurance, investment plan, real-estate, donation charity calls and etc.
I availed personal loan in the past, i have life insurance as well as health insurance. I purchased a home/flat in the past. I gave donation to charities.
I receive 10 to 15 calls per day from the above industries. I am tired of talking to the telephone executives. Even i say, i am not interested, they are not leaving me. They keep trying to convince me. Each phone call last for 5 to 10 minutes. Sometime they chase me in whatsapp too.
I am stressed out of these marketing calls. Some marketing agency is selling my phone number as hot lead to many sources. Do not know what to do now.
I purchased another number,. It is a fresh number, allocated me to first time. Not been used by anybody in the past. I will not attend any calls from unknown numbers in my old number. Only for family members this new number will be given.
Really frustrated by telephone executives and driven to purchase second phone number.
Is our thoughts deciding our life? Is our life goes as per our thinking? What is the impact of thoughts in life?
Thoughts are nothing to do anything with our life. It is our actions deciding our life. Life goes as per our actions.
Then, why so much important to thoughts? Thoughts stimulates actions, our action impacts our life. Our actions are influenced by our thoughts.
So thoughts are important, because it controls our action and in turn our action controls our life.
Can we detach actions and thoughts? Can we remove the influence of thoughts over action? Yes, we can. We can act by our intellect or logical mind instead of emotional thoughts.
Let our thoughts be anything. Let it be positive, negative, happy, sad or anything. But if we are alert while doing action or speaking, then we can execute our actions without the influence of thought.
You may think negatively, but do not let your negative thoughts influence your actions. Always act positively and speak positively irrespective of your thoughts.
Be alert to not to let your thoughts influence your actions.
Don’t control your thoughts, let it flow. But, control your actions, control your speech and be alert while acting or speaking.
If your objective is to learn web development via PHP, MySQL, Apache or practice projects in your laptop or computer, then 4GB of RAM is more than sufficient for you. You will be installing XAMPP in your laptop and a normal editor, say Notepad++. You may probably need a FTP client software to upload your project files to a web server to make your project viewable publicly. So that you can put your learning projects in your resume. In such learner requirement, 4GB of RAM is more than sufficient.
If you are a professional freelancer or working in small company say 10 to 20 employees, then you will be working in real time projects for your clients. You need 8 GB of RAM. You will have your XAMPP setup with FTP client. Along with Notepad++, you will be having a decent PHP Editor to do faster coding. Your client might send the requirements in word document, where you need to open Microsoft Word or any other open source text editor. You might also uses Source Code Repository (say Git) client software to check-in or checkout project files, which depends on the client. Some client may prefer Git or some prefer direct access to server via FTP or Cpanel. In such freelancer requirement, 8GB of RAM is required.
If you are working in corporate or enterprise project, and want to use your laptop for office use, you will need 16 GB of RAM. You need to attend daily status calls using your laptop. You have to join audio or video call using your system. Often you will engage in screen share session with client to demonstrate your progress today. Definitely, you will be working with Git or any other source code repository. You have to undergo DevOps orchestration to get your code deployed in production. You might need to have Virtualization enabled in your laptop or system. Though you are still a PHP developer using XAMPP now with a licensed PHP Editor, your communication tools, DevOps requirements to undergo release process, Usage of Word, Excel, Powerpoint – say document, deck preparation – all require more RAM and CPU power. Or you might be using your laptop or system as thin client and connect to your client’s virtual machine to do your project related activities. Your virtual machine will have all the necessary software required to work in the project. Hence, If you are PHP developer, working in corporate or enterprise project, then you will definitely need 16 GB RAM to manage including your non-coding activities
Youtube and internet are increasing sales like anything. Sell anything, promote anything, market everything. Ultimately sales get increased both online and offline.
Before youtube, we go to shop see, touch, and feel the product we want to buy. We do not take decision then and there. We return home, think, discuss with family, friends whether to buy or not. After returning from the shop, we are not obsessed by the product we like to buy.
But, now, in youtube days, we see the reviews of the product repeatedly. Mostly reviews will be positive about the product. Smart phone in hand will obsess about the product.
We are in a sort of self-compulsion to buy the product after watching youtube reviews and reading reviews from product reviewing websites. If we have money, nothing can stop us from buying. Scarcity of money is the only procrastination to buy. Otherwise, obsession created by youtube, internet, social media are beyond tolerance.
If you stop connecting to internet for a while, your purchases will be reduced. Tendency to spend will be less.
Stop connecting to internet, you will see the change in you. Internet is full of marketing, promotions – surfing internet will drain your bank account like anything. Internet is also a selling platform. It triggers both online and offline sales. It is a sales trap. Do not be victim of it.
Like alchoholic addiction, I am addicted to watching youtube videos. Everyday 2 to 3 hours before sleep, I watch youtube – 10 PM to 1 AM – three hours I watch youtube.
I would not get sleep, If I do not watch youtube. It has become an habit before sleep.
I take Outh as not to watch youtube. I consciously do not watch youtube for a week. Then I break my outh and watch youtube videos as usual.
Because of youtube watching my sleeping duration has reduced. It is hard to resist youtube, it continuesly shows likelyhood videos automatically as per our interest.
I am trying to stop watching youtube, but failed in my determination many times.
Late night youtube watching has reduced sleeping duration, diluted sleeping quality. No time and energy for other activities. No talking with family members. Every bit of freetime, will be used for watching youtube.
I realised that I am addicted to youtube now. I do not know how to get rid of this addiction. I am not getting sleep even I goto bed by 10 PM.
As usual, I have token Outh yesterday as not to watch youtube. I did not watch youtube yesterday. But today I am sleepless. Post midnight, I will start sleeping as usual.
Hope, this time, I will succeed in my Outh.
We have self image about ourself. We expect what is happening to us should be within acceptable range of our self image. We can not accept if something happening breaching our self image.
A person studying good at school and college, started to believe about himeself as a good performing guy. He can not accept, if he is given low rating in his job. Poor feedback in job is breaching his self image as good performing guy.
We develop a belief system about ourself by seeing our face. If anything happening to me beyond my belief system, I can not tolerate.
I have a belief or opinion that I am a good programmer. I understand business models and implement them as softwares. Sometimes if I can not understand a business model and not able to implement as softwares, I can not tolerate, I will start to doubt my skills. My confidence dilutes.
The fact is nobody knows everything. There are things which we can not do. Not everything we can accompolish. When the task is within our command, we get it done, and develop confidence. When the task is beyond our comand, we are not able to do it, and loose confidence. We afraid what will happen bad because of the failure.
Failures, not able to uderstand, not able to complete a task all are part of life. If our self-image allows failures too, then we will be comfortable in embarassing moments too. We are not special, not to be scolded, criticized, embarassed. As long as our self image is flexible, we will be in a bliss.
When you want to take corrrect decision, but do not know what is correct, then you can not take decision. You keep postponding making decision. Ths is Decision Paralysis.
Decision paralysis will not solve any problem. It extends the current situation. Until you take decision, your problem will not solve. Decision Paralysis continue your sufferings.
Decision Paralysis will not allow you to take a decision, because you afraid that your decision may go wrong.
How do overcome decision paralysis? When you do not have experience and information to take correct decision, take decision at your will. Move on. Dont get stagnated without taking a decision. Either correct or wrong decision, both will bring change. A change from your current state.
Take decision to know what is right and wrong. Once you know what is right and wrong, you will be able to take right decision. You will have a flow, where you do not need to take decision. You will follow the flow.
When you are in decision paralysis, don’t know what is correct decision then don’t prolongate the situation. Take a decision as per your liking or follow your fear.
Decision always brings change – good or bad – there will be a change. Hesitation prevents change happening.
It is best to follow the flow, where you don’t need to take decision. Use your experience and information when you have to take decision. If you don’t have experenece and information, then follow your will or fear. Will is best.
Take decision to take better decision in the future.
Experience will help you to take decision, at least prevent taking wrong decision.
Take decision, execute it, have experience, will help you to take better decision in the future. If you hesitate to take decision, hesitate to fail, hesitate to have experience, then you will not learn anything.
Take upfront decision, fail, learn to take better decision. You will learn from your decision.
When I had to buy a bicycle, I was confused whether to buy Geared or noGear bicycle. I rode only NoGear cycles. I do not know how it would be riding a Geared cycle. I was postponding to take decision as geared or non gear cycles. Read many blogs in internet, but nothing helps me to decide with the pros and cons. They confused me.
I want to experiment with geared cycle. While purchaing a cycle for my daughter, I purchased BSA Mach woman 7 speed cycle. It has seven gears with quick release seat post, I adjusted the seat to any height before I ride it.
By riding in different gears, I expeienced the advantages of Gears. At lower gear with high cadence, we could ride without much strain to knee and thigh. We could ride long distance without breaking a sweat. In hight gears with low cadence, we could achieve high speed with load to knee and thigh, resulting tiredness.
In geared cycles, we could choose the way we want. Less strain cum low speed. High speed cum high strain. We could decide. This is not possible in non-geared bicycles. Geared bycles are for better than Non-Gear cycles.
After spending 8000 rupees for an upfront experience, I could take a better decision now. With a higher budget, I will buy a Geared cycle for me. There is no Decision Paralysis now. Now, I know greared cycle is good and suits me.
If I did not took a decision to buy a greared cycle for my daughter, I would never under go the experience of riding Geared cycle. Still, I would be in decision paralysis as whether to buy geared cycle or not.
Expeience and information helps you to make right decision. If you do not have experience and information then take decsion at your will. At least, you will learn if your decision fails, your learning will help you to take correct decision in the future.
Without expeirence and information, take upfront decision, atleast your loss will be less. You will have a learning with less expense. Expense could be time, money, energy, and resource.
Never hesitate to take decision. At least you will have experience to take better decision in the future.
