If you can solve your problem, then what is the need of worrying? If you cannot solve it, then what is the use of worrying?

Recognize yourself?
You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking how you’ll escape one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.

Perspective
In the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield.
Warren Buffet
This is true not only for business, but for life in general. In retrospective, most things seem clear and easy, while the future oftem seems clouded and misty.
Still, you should look forward, find your way, make a path that works for yourself. Do not expect your future to look as easy as your past. Instead work on a future that will sparkle bright once you see it as your past.

Don’t worry, be happy :)
Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength.

How the school system can fuck up your mind
Today I talked to a buddy at the university about nothing in particular when this happened:
Buddy: I’d be happy if I made more money than my professor some day.
Since we study economics I assured him that he probably will if he goes in the open economy
Him: Only if I am good at what I do.
Me: Well, are you?
Him: I don’t know if I will be
Me: Well, why wouldn’t you?
Him: How would I know, I have not written any tests so far
I could not believe that he actually said and believed that. He honestly thinks his success in tests and in university in general defines his later work life!
How can our school system fuck that hard with the mind of a young person? I can’t believe that people really think that way, this is so damn limiting!
What about following your dreams, believing in your ideas? What about the passion that young people always have? If you ask a child what he wants to be when he grows up he sure as hell won’t say: I wanna be a firefighter, but therefore I have to study hard and be an honorable person.
He will reply: I want to be James Bond, I want to be a firefighter, heck I want to be a billionaire!
I don’t say that education is not important or should be taken lightly but everything has to have boundaries and if you really think your success in several years from now on depends on how well you do in some tests right now, there must be something wrong.
How great must this pressure be? If I fail now, I won’t have a good job in ten years?
Wow, do NOT, I repeat, do NOT apply this attitude to your life!
Go where you want to go and take important tasks serious but damn have fun on the way and don’t worry too much. It will all work out! It always has and it always will work out, trust me on this one.
And now go out and enjoy yourself!

Do not worry!
Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but it doesn’t get you anywhere.
Glen Turner
I’ve always liked this quote and therefore was very happy when I found this gem the other day:
When it comes to worries, it is easy.
Just don’t!
Have a good day 🙂
