What others say and I like.
Mostly an archive of internet articles I want in one place, with some of my writing and rumination sprinkled here and there.

The Planning Fallacy
Whenever you're planning for some activity, try estimating it will take you twice as long, and then it might get done on time.

Few things I learned
That I am slowly losing...
1. Not indulging in gheebat. Not even letting the general conversation go in that direction. Not only not doing it, but not even letting it happen.
2. Being thankful about everything that happens, that is happening.
3. Seeing the good in everyone.
4. Not seeing the bad in everyone. There's good and bad in Everyone, so you can see bad if you set your mind to it. You have to train yourself to not see it. I had started doing it. Now I am seeing bad in others once again.
5. Remembering Allah when I feel lonely, so never feeling lonely. Losing this one slowly too.
6. Being comfortable with being by myself. Now I seem to require company.
7. Reading. Haven't read anything in a long time.
8. Writing. This one's kinda obvious, to you guys at least? No? Well, actually not. I have private blogs, that are now gathering dust. So yeah.

What? How?!
The White Rabbit put on his spectacles. "Where shall I begin, please your Majesty?" he asked.
"Begin at the beginning," the King said gravely, "and go on till you come to the end: then stop."

Thoughts
Everyday, you are going to have 60,000 conscious thoughts. And each of these thoughts is either going to be bringing you closer to achieving your goals, or further away.
