The Danger Of Thinking Big

3 Comments

We live in interesting times. Technology has made a lot of things possible that we couldn’t think of, just a few years ago.

We all crave innovation, change, and improvement. That’s why ideas, creativity, and knowledge are one of the most important resources in the world.

New apps and services pop up every single day. And it seems like every single one of them is a success.

I often hear people, with big ideas, say: “How difficult is it to come up with a new app? You just need to think big and have a great idea.”

And then they continue: “You hire a freelance developer. Release it. Sell it. And BOOM. Relax on a beach.”

work hard without burning out

Do you ever feel that the demands of your job are too much? If so, that’s not a surprise. Modern-day life demands much of us as human beings.

3 Comments

Life is pretty awesome, isn’t it? But it’s also difficult to figure out life.

I often hear grownups say: “Do you remember how awesome it was to be a kid?” For most of us, that’s true. When we look back, we see how simple our life was.

When you’re young, you play with your toys, go to school, hang out, play sports, etc. But as you grow up, life gets more complicated by the year.

  • First, you have to decide whether you go to college or not.
  • Then, you have to decide what you want to become.
  • You have to get a job.
  • You start thinking about settling down.
  • You get a car.
  • You get a mortgage to buy a house.
  • You have bills to pay. Maybe you have debt.
  • Maybe you get a dog.
  • How about marriage? Yup. Definitely.
  • And then kids.

The Problem With Know-It-Alls

know it alls

Everybody knows them: People who know everything. At least, that’s what they believe.

I’m not the type who gets annoyed quickly. Really. I can’t think of many things that bother me.

I also don’t get annoyed with people. Sure, every time I see an idiot online promising you to make six figures with six months, I raise my eyebrow. And yes, I don’t like judgemental people—who does?

But I don’t see the point with getting upset about 99% of the shit people get upset about.

I always think: So what? Plus, you don’t know everything about people.

However, there’s one group of people that seriously annoys me; know-it-alls.
