0 Be Stubborn

_16.6.2021_ I do write this out of stubbornness. Stubborn is very importance to finish anything. It's the combination between persistence and enthusiasm. I sit down facing blank page on my monitor, I don't know what to write, I just promise myself to write every day about anything. I do this in the morning every single day forever. The past myself was very different person in term of finishing what I had started. I often stopped in the middle of doing anything. I didn't reach the finished line. I gave up just like that. I attempted writing in the past as well and ended up unwell. Now I start again with new weapon, motivation and understanding of human psychology. Lately I learned to be persistence doing hard things. I want to get better and become more powerful. Only being stubborn is not enough. To write well, I need to know a lot of things deeply. Writing is like repeating the mind. If my mind is empty, I have nothing to write about. Most people have very little to talk about. The brain repeat them again and again thousands times. This is why reading is very important. If one wants to be a writer, he must read widely. For example to write about design I should know about it first. If I don't have any idea about it, there is no way I can elaborate my thought on it. The first assignment for every single person is to keep his health. I think it's very important to shape the body as well. I want to have beautiful and strong body. If I really do it every day consistently, it's just about time to have beautiful and strong body. What makes it difficult is that I can't see the result in the short term. Like planting trees, most people tend to plant vegetables to get faster result than say sengon tree. If they really plant 100 sengon trees, in ten years they will have 100x 2 million. It's 200 million in total. They don't have the patient to play long term game and therefore they will never have 200 millions in their accounts. Assume that only 50% of the tree will reach the target, they can still have 100 million. It's the case. One must play the long term game and become very good at it, become number one player in the field. Rather than renting out their time and labor and get monthly salary, it’s better to work for oneself whatever it is. If one wants to be a writer just write like ten pages every day for ten years. If one wants to be a painter just paint a painting every day for ten years. It need time to be recognized and then to trusted. To be persistence and keep the enthusiasm are very important. If one does this strategy, he will live miserable and poor for about ten years and after that he will be happy and rich. Learning the lesson is easier when one experience it by himself and has urgency, to feed himself and his family. If one have monthly salary and feel safe, it will weaken the mind and he will lose the focus to fight for his own agenda. I can see clearly that playing long term game is not easy at all. Shaping body, building a house, building a business, marriage, all important things are long term games. I'm grateful I realize it now. I start it now even if it's a bit late. I write every day, exercise every day, and uploading videos on my YouTube channel every day. If I started ten years ago, now I can see the result and enjoy better life. What I learn from this habit is that, more I do it, easier it becomes. Writing becomes easier, exercise, and editing videos are also the same. It's all mindset. When I have this mindset I see the world differently. I see problems differently. They are not scary anymore. They are my companions and teachers to strengthen my skills. Now I would prefer planting 10 years trees to 1 month trees. Few people play the long term games. They do not know and cannot see far ahead and just don't join the game. In the past, I had no idea how to get rich in ten years. I wasted my time and money a lot. I didn't save at all, I spent all I got and left nothing for the future. Lucky enough that I like reading and watching lectures on YouTube. Therefore now I start to realize what was wrong with my habit in the past and I know how to fix it. I was so ridiculous spending more than 5 hours on social media and busy reading comments. I feel ashamed now. I checked my Facebook hundreds times in a day, I watched entertainment on YouTube most of the time, I didn't really exercise and work hard but I felt tired by the end of the day. I abandoned a lot of important things. Now I'm focusing on building a YouTube channel and on writing. I aim at writing a book or a novel in the short future. I'm exercising my writing muscles to be stronger every day. Writing is very easy actually. It's just like speaking, I can just speak all the time about anything. I just need to find the listeners. Technology is very helpful, someone somewhere is maybe interested to listen and read my ideas. I shared my experiences and worries and hopes. It needs time to realize what is obvious. I didn't take the common advices seriously because I was ignorance at the time. Now I'm getting older and better at listening to advices. I can differentiate better between what is truly important and what is wasteful. I'm enthusiastic to see my future self. What kind of person I'll become. With current trajectory I believe in ten years, I have great beautiful body and I can write very well. I probably have written two or three novels by that time. I will have few children and have a lot of adventures. I'm very positive and optimistic now. It's not naive, I know I'm playing long term game. I can long live trees and have pictures them in the next ten years. I work hard for myself, to realize my dreams.
