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

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.

The Chalisgaon Solar Panel Vandalism Incident: A Labor Protest Turned Viral

In 2018, a labor dispute at a solar farm in Chalisgaon, Maharashtra, India, escalated into an incident of vandalism, where frustrated workers destroyed solar panels. The workers were employed to construct and maintain a 100-megawatt solar project but took drastic action due to unpaid wages. Videos showed them smashing the panels with hammers and sticks in protest. Initially, some misinformation circulated online, suggesting that the destruction was motivated by superstitions, such as blaming the panels for causing droughts. However, fact-check investigations confirmed that the primary reason was non-payment of wages. The workers, angered by the delayed compensation, decided to damage the infrastructure as a form of protest.

Here are 4 reasons why you should consider watching documentaries to improve your level in your target language: 1# Learning the pronunciation and the spelling as well             Reading is an excellent exercise to improve your vocabulary and spelling. However, if you spend a lot of time only reading, you won’t know how the word is pronounce. This concept requires having the subtitle feature activated.
