0 Bad Idea

_28.7.2021_ People often have bad idea about their life. When they think about success, they think it comes easily or by luck. There are always options and we are always choosing. Most people will choose what is easy. They often avoid complicated and difficult things. Success is ten times more difficult than what they thought. I thought mastering Chinese language would spend two three years, actually maybe it needs ten years or more. Maybe it's because I don't force myself to study every day. I thought I would study every day because I really wanted to master the language. The reality was completely different from the expectation. Man is predictably irrational. What they plan and what they do, are two completely different things. If they plan what they do, they will hit 20% of it, if they don't plan, they will hit almost zero. I thought that writing would be so much easier after I did it for a while. It's not the case. The same thing with exercise, it's not getting easier. It doesn't follow the simple mathematics. It's always easier not to do than to do something. I choose what is easy most of the time. It's the default mode. Suddenly I realized that I wasted to much time on doing nothing related to the prior plan. Lately I didn't use pomodoro timer. It's the best time keeper and strategy I know. I need to use it again immediately. I know it worked very well. Most people fail because they are full of bad ideas. They make wrong decisions too often. In a day, they probably waste 80% of their time on social media, negative thoughts, watching TV, gossiping, and so on. I know this because I am the real case. When I really use pomodoro timer, I normally can do 8 pomodoros in a day, it means four hours only. If I can do ten pomodoros, my life will be different. This is what I imagine. It's said that the world is only my mind's reflection. Everything outside is inside. The game is a single player game. I compete against myself. Just like this writing, whether I write better than before and write longer than before, it depends merely on myself. Spinoza said that if someone says that something is impossible, he already decided not to try. Most people believe that it's impossible to earn one hundred million per month therefore never try anything to realize it. Rich people believe that to earn five hundred million is possible therefore do whathever needed to realize that idea. Everything starts with an idea. This entire reality is the idea of all people, one's reality is his or her own idea. If I have idea that I can learn Japanese and I really do it, it's just a matter of time for me to be able to master Japanese language. Other people who believe that it's impossible, it indeed becomes impossible for them. Belief creates mindset, mindset creates attitude, attitude creates habit, and habit creates reality. Even my identity is just a set of ideas that I believe as me. It's alterable but who cares to alter it? The question for all people is that whether they really want to change? Most people want to be rich, healthy, happy, but really? To choose a consequences is to choose the action. People are smart enough to know that to do this is to get this. If people want to master Japanese language but do not study hard, it means they don't really want it. They just say nonsense or make a joke. To own is to take responsibility. To have a clean house is to clean the house. It's simple but most people do not really understand it. The action and the consequences are the same. Action is the reflection of belief. I believe in one's action more than one's words. I do what I believe and I don't do what I don't believe. This is how reality is formed. When people have bad ideas, they have bad reality. If they believe they can or cannot do something, they are correct. If I believe that my time worth one hundred dollar per hour, I won't do work for ten dollar per hour. No one will value me more than I value myself. I know this, therefore I must value myself. Most people will value themselves depend on how others put the value on them. People even willing to work hard for little money because they belief that it's their price. Other people decide it for them. They have no power to put their own value and behave accordingly. It's a bad faith not fate to believe that they can't change and do something differently. We are always choosing and deciding. It's better to live simple life as a farmer and doing everything out of freedom and independence than selling or renting out our time and labor for small money and fear of being fired. One must try to work for himself at least for ten years before he decided to work for others. Those who work for others to earn small money are merely afraid of their own bad ideas. They are full of self-doubt and bullshits. Life is not dangerous today. People can try anything and won't die from hunger. The easiest way to be rich and successful at anything is to work for oneself. It's easier to master a foreign language by self-study. It seems difficult compares to joining a class, but once he figures out how to do it, he can do it anytime, anywhere, his own way. Finally one must work hard to eliminate bad ideas and believes in himself before he is able to take the real actions. Journey to success is hard and dangerous. It's necessary and full of challenge. Life is an adventure. Do not bend your knees to bad ideas.
