Toughts on life, growth, and books

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

This sentence by Dostoyevsky never fails to hit hard:

“You sensed that you should be following a different path, a more ambitious one, you felt that you were destined for other things but you had no idea how to achieve them and in your misery you began to hate everything around you.”

[Karun Pal @karunpal]

The older I get, the more I believe happiness lives in the little things. A quiet morning coffee. Long walks. A nice novel. A cosy home. Good food. Good hearted people. So much of life’s beauty is already here. Society makes us think we need to be 'extraordinary' to be happy. But that’s a recipe for frustration. There’s so much beauty in a simple, honest life. Being yourself and slowly building a life that feels right in your heart. And one day, you look back and realize... you didn't need more, you just needed to notice what you already had.

Our bodies were built to move. If we're lying in bed all day, it's no wonder we feel burnt out, stressed, and exhausted. We need to move our bodies. Hit the gym, or even just go for a walk around the neighborhood every morning.

Two years ago, when I was struggling with anxiety, I spent so much time looking for advice in every self-help book and motivational video out there, tried everything recommended by my lecturers, friends, and family, but none of it worked.

Right when I was about to give up, I said "F*** it, I can't do this anymore. I'll just accept it and face it head-on". I'm not feeding my brain with motivational video like " You can do this. Take a rest bla bla... " and surprisingly that actually worked.

@Boywrist That's why I think the best way to deal with things is to face them, accept them, reflect on our own actions or what we could've done differently, and move on. No need t seek validation or an excuse to escape reality.

BEING SHY MAKES YOU LOSE IN LIFE

Be egoistical. Stop losing opportunities. Stop wasting your potential. No energy. No drive. Afraid. Depressed. Start living. Other people’s opinions don’t matter. Become unapologetic. Get aggressive with your life. Fulfill your mission. Focus on your interests. Confidence will become part of who you are.

You weren’t born shy.

Your environment forced you to be.

It all comes from your childhood, where you were taught to always please others, but all this time - it was destroying everything around you.

It's not that I don't want to get married.

I think I'm just scared of choosing the wrong person and slowly losing myself along the way.

What if he doesn't really love me? What if his heart still belongs to someone else, but he chooses me because she didn't choose him? What if he doesn't support the things I want to do, the dreams I want to chase, or the life I want to build?

I know I shouldn't keep asking myself "what if?". But love is something I never really known. I've never experienced it in that way, so sometimes it feels like stepping into something that completely unfamiliar. And lately, I've realized just how much one decision and change your entire life.

That's why I'm scared. I don't wanna just find someone to marry. I want to find someone who feels like home, but someone I can genuinely love,ggrow and share my life with.

This pigeon keeps poking the cat and annoying the hell out of it.

@_khusheyyy as a physics student, now I'm more curious about art. Maybe there's a connection between both of them

[yuna Ahn @ayunainwords]

@ceolmh3 she's soo strong for her age

[yuna Ahn @ayunainwords]

@Obii_cubana_ZSN the "is this normal?" at the end 😭😭

[shipra @shipranotes]

So true!

[yuna Ahn @ayunainwords]

@Rainmaker1973 awww miss my cats

[yuna Ahn @ayunainwords]

time flies so fast!
I can't believe it's already been 200 days since I started journaling. Looking back on my days and documenting little moments in my notes makes me feel better and gives me something to look forward to throughout the day💗🍀

@gracexm2010 oh my god thank uuu soo much
You tooo

[yuna Ahn @ayunainwords]

I am a physics student and I couldn't agree more with this. I no longer reread my notes when it comes to exam season. I just learn by explaining the theory to my friends or even to the wall. I repeat it again and again until I feel like "oh I think I understand it well enough", and then move on to the next subject.

给大家介绍一个非常有名的费曼学习法。过去大家提到费曼学习法，很多人说“知道知道，费曼学习法就是讲出来”。

费曼学习法没那么简单，可以分为四步：第一步是将那些概念写在一张纸上。

第二步，解释它们，就像你在教别～这个说对了。
第三步，检查我们的方法是否正确。
第四步，如果某部分用了太多的技术术语，那就把这部分写在另一张纸上。

费曼学习法的意思是，如果你在解释一个知识的时候，不能够用最简单的语言来说明，就证明你没学会。如果理解不够深入，你是无法浅出的，只能够用大词来唬人。所以如果你发现一个人说的话里充满了你听不懂的名词，那就证明他自己也不太懂，所以他要用这些名词来捍卫自己的尊严，捍卫自己的权威性。

如果你真的使用了费曼学习法，你就得能够在家里给你妈妈讲你学过的物理知识，讲讲物理是怎么回事，光电效应是怎么回事，力学是怎么回事，齿轮、动滑轮和静滑轮（定滑轮）是什么意思。你能讲给她听，那你就是真的学会了。

回忆自己上中学的时候，为什么我的数学和物理都学得不错，原因是我真的在课后为班上的同学讲题，能把那些题对着成绩不太好的同学讲明白，代表我学懂了。所以这是一个很好的锻炼过程，大家不要太自私，拿出点时间去帮助班上其他的同学，这对于提高你的学习成绩是很有帮助的。这就是费曼学习法的应用。
