Hello to SteemIt with 6 Fun Ideas To Stretch Your Inner Einstein

in #introduceyourself8 years ago

Hello, steemers! It’s so good to be here!

Proof of Life:

Everyone has a unique story with unique value

After reading a lot of serious books, listening to people like Ray Kurzweil, Jocko Willink, Sir Richard Branson and others, watching a lot of TED talks, I still thought that I had nothing to share until recently.

“You are too boring”, “You are too serious and nerdy”, “Who will ever read your thoughts, dumbass” - my brain kept telling me. Familiar?

The problem was simple: it wasn’t right. It wasn’t even my thoughts. It's phrases, ideas, and concepts of other people which I added automatically to my mind because it seemed appealing and accurate at the time.

Idea: don't hesitate to share everything. It's fine!

Stars

When you see stars, everything's fine

You know that stories when people are talking about how bad it was? Don't slip there.

You know why?

Ask Stephen Hawking, former Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge, about "bad stories." While having ALS and have all rights and permissions in the world to complain, he still provides the best piece of advice: "People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining."

Idea: Whining and complaining are great tricksters. I like to refer them as "Negative Actions" because when you complain, you think you're doing something, but it won't get you anywhere.

Bear

Barbell

For some reason, we all have tendency to choose highly balanced actions. We like when everything is in some zone when it’s not too hard and not too simple.

Often, only by doing that, we often get mediocre experiences.

Instead of choosing mediocre experience and not even noticing it, the best thing is to choose extremes to some extent.

For example, read highly scientific books and simple, bright, colorful and inspiring books where imagination flow freely.
Sounds like nonsense, right? Try it. You’ll see the difference immediately.

Thoughts: We love extreme differences between things. It helps us to comprehend the world. We just forgot how to use it.

TIYI

Many people out there are highly intelligent, but they couldn’t “find a cocoa on Cocoa Island.” They are "The Intellectuals Yet Idiots."

These people always give advice they don't follow. Therefore, they didn't know what they're talking about.

They seem very confident but operate in some weird magical space where they could invent their own rules. Like “Thoughtland.”

Especially those who call themselves “happiness guru.” They talk about happiness while looking quite exhausted and unhappy. Ask them what’s happiness, and they can’t answer directly (because nobody knows).

Why don’t they discuss what makes us unhappy instead?

For example, if you illuminate a dump boss and dull colleges and find a great working environment - you will be happier automatically, right?

Idea: some ideas may appeal superior, yet they don't work at all in reality.

You never know when an apple will fall

On my journey, I made a lot of mistakes. The biggest one is that I didn't finish my degree while it was cheap. I thought it would not be necessary in the future. It turned out, I was right. Partly.
For dumb jobs, for small goals, it's okay.

When I tried to do something bigger, I couldn’t do it because I didn’t have enough resources. Epic fail.

Idea: You never know what you’ll need in the future, so try to acquire assets and skills before it happens.

Beliefs and the Dark Side

The Dark Side is a lie. It’s tempting, but only disciplined Jedi mind can bring value and improve life.

Our mind looks like a Banyan tree. If you have, for example, the wrong roots, every conclusion you make will be based on that and will be mostly wrong.
The mind takes that as a basis to make all those quick thoughts popping in our minds. They are not spontaneous.

It's called beliefs.

Other people can transfer either their knowledge or their limitations. If there is no knowledge, just let them go and find knowledge from other sources. It's natural.

And humans might believe in something that destroys them like the Sith from Star Wars belived that the Dark Side makes them stronger. Their Banyan tree

Idea: if you look closely to ideas and concepts from your past, you can understand better why something doesn't work in your life.

SteemIt

I'd like to contribute to the community and bring value. I already started writing Steem blockchain applications and I will announce them soon.

Also, I'm trying to allocate some time for writing. I have several ideas of articles that people might like.

So, be legendary my friends. See you soon!

Super Quick and Boring Facts

  • English is not my first language, but it’s my favorite one
  • I’m a Polish descendant
  • I just read books and scientific articles until my eyes fall out
  • I’m a full stack web developer writing in JS and Golang
  • Fascinated by human mind and consciousness in particular, although I don’t understand them at all
  • Enjoy and admire life itself, universe, imagination and open-minded people

Welcome to steemit. I hope you will have a great time here :D

Thank you very much! I hope all Steemians will have a great time here ;)

Seems like you've got the steemer spirit in you boy, welcome :).
Amazing introduction.

Amazing comment with a warm welcome, @eltooni - I appreciate this a lot!

Kinda enjoyed your blogpost :)

Kinda enjoyed your comment 😀 Just kidding because... I appreciate it a lot, thank you!

great post really if you unterested tourism and nature i pleasure to visit my blog thanks my dear

Thanks! Can't say much about tourism because haven't had enough experience with that but I love walking and hiking - the best way to relax and clear the mind 😊

I enjoyed your introduction post a lot and your comparison of the mind to a banyan tree really stood out for me :)

Thanks, Jon! Glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah, about banyan tree. As I read, it's common for ancient europeans to represent knowledge with only one trunk.
But scientists often say that minds are more a network of multiple core ideas and layers upon layers so a banyan tree is a great analogy I suppose :)

A few years ago I read about a forest that was actually a connected root system so wasn't really individual trees but a large colony/hive organism. This true story reminded me of a sci-fi book where a scientist gave herself a version of turrets and created an organic ai that worked on virus, mold and bees. And recently have been hearing how our digestive bacteria is linked to our cognitive state and health. I have a 17 year old and have had many discussions on how the flux of hormones will skew his thinking randomly and intensely. So one of my thoughts is how we integrate the upcoming digital mind meshing technologies with our complex and intertwining biological systems.
Yes I know those were a deluge of semi-random snippets of ideas but I sense a pattern that will play heavily in future exploration of conscience.....

I think we'll fast but gradually come there. You might enjoy watching Ray Kurzweil videos where he describes the process of integrating our biological systems with digital worlds.

Every information technology has an exponential evolution instead of linear one so I think we will figure it out soon using computers as tools of comprehending.

BTW, if you like sci-fi, you might enjoy reading Blindsight by Peter Watts - mind-blowing book with several pretty heavy twists.

Thanks I am always trying to find new authors

Tack så mycket, @saffisara Thanks for those kind words. I appreciate this because it's always a pleasure when you see that you gave something valuable to people even if it's just a small thing. You know: "Value here, value there and the world is better everywhere" ;)

Ur welcome :0) And u are so right and the smallest thing can mean the most. I wish u all the best in this community and know that whenever u need a friend here we are ♡
Have a great evening

My inner Einstein is like Shredinger cat - half dead, half alive. ))

Haha, great one! :) Next time, just try to collapse the wave function by measuring the now moment and let go of everything else (but don't too much, we still need plans and a part of memories).

You might notice that your inner Einstein is very much alive all the time! ;)

By simply being at this momen you become more creative? I read about him, and think that his secret weapon was working on Patent office. Reading those patents could in his head provoke some good ideas, which he shared.

I highly recommend to read this: https://twitter.com/mistermircea/status/877806426202062849 - it's a very interesting hypothesis about how our brain works.

Might not work exactly as he described but it's indeed an interesting point and worth trying. Could be quite useful ;)
