Deep thinking leads to clarity.

It is easier to communicate based on a clear mind than a crowded mind. the argument that is constructed in memory will bring sharp reasons as our minds will act as filters for any retained information. They just keep only high-quality ones.

Deep thinking can be trained by writing.

Can we write well without reading voraciously?

Reading well brings others’ mental models to our minds. It is like a shortcut to going to new places. Some say: standing on the shoulders of giants.

Now, how can we read well?

The vicious cycle of shark loans works like a trap.

The poors, who need money to support their lives or to improve business performance, tend to deal with a shark loaner. it is said the process is so simple. But, the interest applied is horrible.

Once, they go to high-interest rate loans, it is hard to get rid of.

Amazingly, the borrowers are normally disciplined to pay installments.

Sometimes, they do refinancing before the loan is paid off. They manage their money. If need be, they sacrifice other things as they prioritize the shark loan.

What about replacing the shark loan with social funds — direct giving, or charity?

If you were one of the donators, what would you expect?

Direct giving helps the poors. After receiving money, they can buy basic needs. Not only can they live well, but also the society is improved.

But, how can we design a program that the fund can help them to run something to earn money?

Is there any proven system that direct giving works better so we can follow?

Can a short message inspire?

Sometimes, to simplify things just needs to identify which one is really meaningful. Delivering idea that can touch one’s life is so important that it could change your life too. At that moment, the simplicity shapes beauty.

Write short is worth trying.

Time is your part of life.

Once it goes, your way of life is disappearing. It is capital. And, it is irreversible as well.

Blocking time is a good way to protect it.

You just allocate your time to something that changes your life.

Just got back from martial art routines, a kid proudly told his father that he had led his small group.

Being a leader is a momentous change. That experience gives more energy that can shape self-confidence. The kid was a shy boy. After years of practice, he becomes more courageous.

We need room to grow our personality, and sometimes it takes time to find it.

Can we avoid conflict?

It is complicated to settle conflict as parties want to have more roles over others. Sometimes, a win-win solution is hard to reach, then the conflict becomes worse. What do we need to keep moving forward?

In the beginning, the regulation is a key factor to bring the rule of games, and provide a measure of satisfaction.

Without rules, anyone can interpret a situation as he likes.

Do you think that you have power over others? Or can control everything?

Perhaps. But, your control is less than you think. Rolf Dobelli highlights this and calls it the illusion of control. Then, it leads us to narrow our focus to only a few things.

We have limited power.
