Think about the little things you enjoy, then turn around and do them for someone else.

If you feel relief when someone asks a question in class, then other students are probably relieved too. Be the one who asks.

If you love it when a friend calls to check in, your friends probably love it too. Be the one who calls.

If it makes your whole day when someone compliments your outfit, other people probably love it too. Give out more compliments.

If you're stuck on a problem, don't just sit there, start working on it. Even if you don't know what you're doing, the simple act of working on it will eventually inspire the right ideas to show up in your head.

1/ On Being Efficient With Busy People

This is a thread for people at junior to mid stages in their career (people at senior levels generally operate this way and, at very senior levels, they all operate this way).

It is updated for 2022 practices

If you're privileged enough to have spare time, normalize doing nothing.

Life is much better with scheduled downtime.

Succinct yet profound. Maintaining friendship requires effort especially once we graduate into the real world, I never realised this early enough.

Why do we lose friends as we grow up?

I have thought about this a lot.

There is so much content about career, family, marriage. But nothing about friends.

And my friends are an integral part of my life.

Does friendship really have to be a casualty of growing up?

[Aaron Tang @mrstingy2014]

What's stopping you from doing what you really want to do?

Why not today?

1/ On How Short Life Is

A few years ago, I was walking around in a blizzard in SoHo (New York). It was late, midnight, and it was beautiful.

Some friends, about 15 blocks away, called: "come over?"

It was late, it was cold, was tired, thought "maybe not worth it" but then...
