I love people who are intellectually omnivorous.
The kind who can discuss folklore, black holes, bird migration, poetry, and grocery store pricing in a single conversation without getting lost.
If you want to understand the differences between girls and boys, look at the structure of the games they love to play. Girls are not competitive in outcomes. They like to enjoy the process of things. Decorate, beautify, adorn. The most popular Internet games for girls that had us HOOKED onto the screen at age 11 was where we dressed up different princesses for different events, created digital crafts, looked after digital babies and there’s no winning or losing in these games whatsoever. Yet every girl I knew loved them.
I think grandmother hobbies are amazing and so fun. But I think they keep good girls single and stop them living life. Your life needs to accelerate before it should slow down like this. If you’re 22 and single, you need to get out there and socialize. Make friends! Use your body to do things like dance and climb mountains and run around a medieval European city.
So many women have decentered men in their lives. They are more independent, exposed, and educated than ever before. Many are consciously refusing to repeat the experiences of older generations of women who suffered under strict patriarchal systems.
The problem is that while many women have changed their expectations, some men are still entering marriage with the same patriarchal ideas they were raised with, even though society has changed. That's where a lot of the conflict begins.
Study calculus.
not because exams exist.
because reality moves.
• derivatives → how things change
• integrals → how change accumulates
• limits → what happens at the edge
• gradients → where systems want to go
• differential equations → how nature evolves
motion, heat, fluids, control, optimization, robotics, ML.
all of it speaks calculus.
without it, you see outputs.
with it, you see dynamics.
I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.
Men who are intimidated by a woman’s ambition were never men to begin with. They’re boys looking for a mother, not a partner. The wrong one will guilt you for chasing your dreams, the right one will brag about them to strangers. Settling is dangerous. Respect, pride, and support are the bare minimum. Ladies, stop babysitting grown men and choose someone who claps when you win.
The older you get, the more you realize luck is mostly exposure. If you sit in the same place, have the same routine, talking to the same people, nothing new really happens. You have to tackle the world to succeed. Travel more. Talk to people.
Doing this is what genuinely shifted my confidence and self concept. I woke up one day and got tired of feeling insecure and being a victim to my own mental prison. I realized it was all just coming from me. And i realized if I created it, it means I can change it too.
Van Gogh painted stars that way because the medication he took for his mental disorder caused him to see blurred halos around the stars, and he wanted to show us what he saw. Artists give society the gift of seeing what others see. They teach us empathy. Machines can't do that.
I believe in being very very strict with yourself. Very. Your life is in your hands and your control.
Can’t be loose with your life, you will also attracting all kinds of circus freaks if you are not strict with yourself and your life.
So yesterday PCOS was renamed to PMOS. After 11 years and about 22,000 people fighting for it.
If you’re one of the women who was told to just lose weight or come back when you want children, the reason it was renamed is going to make a lot of things make sense.

Many people can’t grasp that school is supposed to be the BEGINNING of your education. The pursuit of knowledge doesn’t end at graduation, and you will be poorly informed indeed if you’re not learning history & reading great books in your adult life.
I feel that Malaysia is not a car-orientated society.
It's a car-dependent society. It's a more cruel variety that hobbles anyone without automative means of travel even within short distances.
