The recognition that despite all the stress I’m feeling “I don’t actually have a gun to my head” is a gateway to mindfulness. It invites a deeper questioning of our experience:
What am I actually feeling?
Where does that feeling live?
Who is feeling it?
Breathe …

Friends Joshua Laxamana and Julius Santiago Sebastian were last seen over two weeks ago when they went on a trip to Baguio to take part in a DOTA tournament. None of them would make it back. (continued in thread)

The upcoming Spider-man game looks fun, but I kind of want to see one which includes a slice-of-life Peter Parker mode where you have to worry about taking photographs for the bugle, making rent, running out of web fluid, making sure aunt may doesnt find out and so on

There’s the rare occasion where I could use a third monitor, but it doesn’t happen often enough to justify the additional expense. I’m hoping in the future, hardware advances allow us to cheaply create additional displays (say, projected on a wall) on demand

If you can’t rest because you have: (full todo list, backlog of projects, desire to accomplish more, self/life/world aspects you want to change), you will never rest. These lists are infinite. So you must learn to rest peacefully beside an infinite mountain of potential work.
This is so cool. Steven Tyler surprising a street musician who was singing “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing.”

@magnifique_f8h I think the SEC website should have a search engine where you can check if a company is registered. There seems to be a corresponding FB page for this Philippine Buyers Choice Awards as well. Also, congrats! lol
Writing, even just to yourself, is a form of therapy. Your problems lose a bit of their power once they are captured in words
During a cold night last February, at a Manila slum called Happyland (a play on the Filipino word ‘hapilan’—meaning ‘garbage dump’), everyone was awakened by knocks on their doors. Policemen in plainclothes had arrived and forced everyone to leave (continued in thread)
Over 70% of executives think they are “blockchain experts” according to Deloitte’s 2018 Blockchain Survey 😂

I am one of the 7 billion human beings alive today. We each have a responsibility to think about humanity and the good of the world because it affects our own future. We weren’t born on this planet at this time to create problems but to bring about some benefit.
