73: Mental Illness/Addiction Is NOT An Excuse To Treat People Badly
If someones personality changes when inebriated, and they are always inebriated, than that is who they really are.
It doesn’t matter if they are ‘nice’ when sober, if they are rarely sober …
72: Weekends Don't Exist (Ch: 6.7 How To Get Your Sh!t Together)
Weekends don’t exist, at least not for those who want to make a change in the world or for those with a dream.
If you have a passion project, a business that you are building up, or a dream that you want to follow, you need all the time you can possibly get your hands on.
71: The Problem With The Modern School System
I have worked as a teacher for nine years. In that time I have had experience in many different schools, across all age ranges, systems and demographics.
Unfortunately, for the most part, there is a lot to be desired. Students are regularly disengaged. They dislike the system and often ‘see no point’ to what they are learning …
70: Are You A Wage Slave?
85% of full time workers are 'not engaged’ by their work. In effect they either hate what they are doing, or merely tolerate doing it.
This terrifies me. For years I was in this situation, until my mental health and a study opportunity forced me out of full time employment.
69: Take Action And Correct Along The Way
It is far better to get a project 80% completed and released to the public than it is to try and get it to 100%.
The better approach is to create a minimum viable product, and adjust where necessary. This approach will have you moving forward exponentially as you will see what is working and what isn’t far quicker.
68: The Real Problem With The Gillette Ad
My response to the ‘controversial’ Gillette advertisement.
I take it down a path I haven’t seen many people exploring.
Namely that regardless of which side of the fence you fall on, Gillette wins. They have got the world talking about their advert and by extension them.
This will result in a massive sales boost. I predict that many more companies will come out with similar social justice adverts moving forward to capitalise on the growing culture of extreme outrage at opposing viewpoints.
67: Update Time (what I've been up to & what I'm working on next)
An update of what I have been up to recently and what I am working on now!
66: Express Yourself Daily (ch 3.1 - How To Get Your Sh!t Together)
It wasn’t until I tried writing that I saw major improvements as a direct result of treatment.
Unlike talking therapy, I found that I could express myself far more freely onto a blank page. When I sat down to write, I didn’t have to worry about what the page thought of me. It can’t judge. I could ramble, reiterate and back track without concern for transmitting understanding to someone else.
