This question has been boggling my mind for a while now.

Q: why do we travel?

Beyond work or visiting family, what drives us to take trips to a foreign place for vacations?

What’s the purpose behind those carefully planned, time-limited and physically demanding trips?

Played tourist in my home country. Pleasantly surprised to see how @marinabaysands lit up their hotel with the nation’s flag in celebration for Singapore’s 59th birthday.

Trading options require knowledge and not blind chances.

I chose not to do more harm than good for this friend.

[beth 🚢 @bethmusings]

A friend said to me, "I just need to know which button to click" to buy an option contract.

There was zero intention on their part to learn how options work.

This gambler's mindset is like buying a lottery ticket and hoping for profit.

Instead of the story ending with us being cold, hangry (hungry plus angry) and un-showered.

Because I had to play with the intercom buzzer.

I got to get home, had a nice, warm shower, with dinner arriving just when I was done.

Life is perfect again.

The end.

How do you make contact with someone when you think you have no tools of communication in our highly digitally connected world?

This is a funny story of how I tried to make contact with my husband when I forgot to bring my mobile and our home key.

Here's the story: 🧵

The story I'm trying to share here is that when I had seemingly no ways of contacting my husband while being locked out of our home, dripping wet with pool water, don't give up.

Think creatively.

Our highly digitally connected world's bound have tools we can use to our benefit.

Fewer projects. Fewer commitments. Fewer obligations. Fewer responsibilities.

Carefully choose your commitments, then go all in."

@russellmomentum it’s counterintuitively surprising how constraints create the environment for us to progress.

my priority for the coming 12 weeks is to focus on a single topic - to learn, write and breathe it.

how are you working on yours?

[beth 🚢 @bethmusings]

Having a new year resolution might be hard for me to keep myself on track.

So I’m going to adopt the 12-week year approach.

Why?

It forces me to focus on what really matters. I’ve had issues focusing with multiple interests. Now is the perfect time to focus on a single topic.
