Which outdated technology do you miss the most, and why?
Bring back the portable cd players and cassette player, Walkman, life was great then. The passion for music and ownership is key. People appreciated music more when it was in a physical medium.
Lately, the best excuses come with creativity. I heard one that the car locked them inside and they couldn’t get out. I was like how? They said they got dressed for work, got into their car and the power cut off in the car and they were locked inside. So they are calling out.
Another was a leak in the house and I can’t leave the house unattended. I think that’s the winner as it’s true, pipes do burst and water ruins homes. So clearly I wouldn’t even fight that one.
Do you think we’re shaped more by our experiences or by who we are?
We are shaped by our experiences. It’s the guidance of life. How we are, when, where and why. We control how we are affected and if we can overcome or be held back. Internally we have merit and characters, but it times we can be great or fail. So time within each experience and consistency will determine what happens.
Experience gives us depth. Lead with growth or be held stagnant.
The most read books for me, was probably Dr. Seuss, “Are You My Mother”, I bet you see that coming huh? Well it’s most likely true. But there is two books I read the most than others, “The One Minute Manager” and “I Will Teach You How To Be Rich”. These two books are my legacy books and recommend to anyone.
If you are trying to create a rich life and be your own person, I strongly recommend these books. Added fact, they are also best sellers. I will only talk about books of value.
Last book that I want to add to this topic is “Atomic Habits”. I can tell you this these book will change your life in ways of discipline and appreciation for processes and what you truly want out of life.
I am, I am, screaming from the mountain top. I love to learn, read and write. Learning has been a vital tool and habit in life, that it has created ease and beauty in my life. For the investment of time to learn new topics, important topics, and proper research saved me from many conflicts.
People tend to overthink learning as just going to school or following a program. Learning is so much more than that. Imagine willing learning all the gaps you were never taught. Being able to understand hard to do activities or concepts. Think about all the articles and YouTube videos that exist with just a search.
What’s one habit that has improved your life the most?
A habit that has improved my life drastically is combination of discipline and commitment understanding how I feel in the moment and how I treat people whether I am having a good day or bad day. The human side of stay consistent being open and adding empathy to situations brought so much blessings.
Each decision I make tends to be more memorable. I care about my actions and how it affects others, but better than that if it’s truly me and my values.
When those are aligned, the world has controllable moments, outside of what GOD has already handled for me.
