2022/04/21 ( Big change starts with baby steps)

 When I was in my third years in college, I had an acute depression. I needed a method to cure my depression. I decided to make a lot of changes in my life. I realized that what I am doing everyday will makes me get the same results. I realized that if I need to get a different results, I need to make different actions. I was fed up with my situation and very frustrated with my life. I decided to go very extreme in my actions to really make change in my life. 

First of all, I decided to stop hanging out with all my friends and stopped spending time with my family. I stopped watching movies, playing video games, Soccer and so on. I realized that in order for me to have time to do the needed actions to make real change, I need to free up all my time. 

Secondly, I decided to concentrate only on one small goal. I was working on many goals but I only cared about achieving one goal. Once I achieve my small goal, I will go to the next one. My first small goals were very simple. Waking up at 5 am. Stop using social media. Stop playing anything. I just wanted to break my old habits and free up all my time so I can spend all my time to study. I started concentrating on waking up at 5 am for as long as it need until I make it habit. 


Next was concentrating on bigger goal. I started to run for 5 Km every day after waking up at 5 am. Then, I started to spend my breaks between classes to do journaling. I used to spend around 1 hour journaling everyday. I also started spending around 6-8 hours just for studying everyday and even in the weekend (except for Friday 3-4 hours). Even in the holidays I was studying every day because I didn't want to stop the momentum. I had to do what I had to do. 

Thanks for reading

Why You Cannot Achieve More Than One Goal in The Same Period of Time

One of the most common traps people fall into is trying very hard to achieve more than one goal in the same period of time. They might be very motivated to master more than one skill so they create a schedule to help them work on all their goals in a daily basis. They keep working hard on multiple goals in the same time for months without getting a satisfying result. Then they start to question their strategy in learning each skill and change it and keep repeating the same cycle again. They start to work on one goal all the time but after two or three weeks they start to work in more than one goal and the cycle keep repeating.             What I mean by a goal or a skill in this post is something like, improving your academic performance, master a musical instrument, learn a language, have a good body shape, learn drawing, be a great engineer, be great writer, learn a coding language, …etc. These are just some examples but you ...

2022/05/04 (Why Calculus is Difficult?)

 During our 12 years in school, we have learned all algebra techniques such as additions, substructions, division and multiplication. In each one of these techniques, there are many techniques. If you have an exam, you know which techniques you need to study to pass the exam.  However, in Calculus it is more complicated. In each problem, you need to use a technique before you start solving the problem. In each exam, you will have to use many techniques before you start solving any problem. You are supposed to be able to use each one of these techniques. But there are so many techniques and you don't remember all of them because you haven't used them since long time ago. Or you might be not sure which technique you need to use because some problems can be solved by more than one specific technique.  So when students start studying Calculus, the teacher assumes that they already know all the simple techniques that schools teach. Calculus teacher keep repeating this phrases ...

Poison Positivity

 When I was in my third year in college, I had an acute depression. I had very bad grades and I had a lot of family problems. Starting from 2018, I decided to listen and read about self-development. I immersed myself in this world and I replaced my negativity with positivity. I literally brainwashed my brain. After I have have solved my depression problem completely, I started looking unsatisfied on many self-development post. I realized that often time, being optimistic is just a way of escaping the brutal truth. It is actually will make you less happy instead of more happy. Even too much positivity is bad for you.
