Focus on the things you know

Ugur KILCI Blog

Focus on what you know. People cannot know what you know or where you are going, that is, your future. They compare yours either to themselves or to others. Don’t get caught up in that.

Unusualness happens outside the usual.

If you constantly move forward with things you don’t know, you continually start from scratch. On the other hand, if you move forward with things you know, then you build on that and move up.

Let’s say you are at level 5 with your PHP knowledge. NextJS is new to you. Then your level becomes 0 instead of 5. You spend time, energy, money, and health to get back to level 5.

On the other hand, if you had done the same thing with your PHP knowledge, in the big picture, someone would be at level 10 in one corner and level 5 in the other. If you suddenly enter the real estate field, you won’t start at level 11; you’ll start from scratch again. If you then enter the dropshipping field, you’ll start from scratch again. You don’t build on top of it.

When someone in the PHP field, or whatever field it is, reaches level 100, you’ll still be at level 5. And you’ll envy them and go back to PHP.

No!

Focus on what you know! Now you know what you know. Things you don’t know will take your time, energy, money, and health!

The reason why the great are great is because of their progress

Apple, Facebook, and Amazon. Or the 90-year-old corner store. Do you know why they are successful? Because they have been progressing for many years.

There is no such thing as magic! There is only one explanation for your magic, luck, and everything else. Progress!

Science is science because it advances. Evolution creates stronger living beings because it advances.

Gather all the other things you think you lack and compare them to relatively larger ones instead of the biggest ones. You’ll see that there’s nothing but progress.

The handful of knowledge you think you have is nothing. The only real thing is progress. Like time.

Maybe the Brain Needs to Think

Ugur KILCI Blog

A thought that came to mind while exercising. I usually listen to music or podcasts with headphones while exercising, but that day I didn’t listen to anything. I walked for two hours. I was left alone with my own thoughts.

Maybe we need to get bored and think. Maybe we need to get bored. Maybe the brain feeds on this. On boredom. But this boredom isn’t the kind that comes from difficulties. It’s the boredom that comes from nothingness.

The brain must perform its primary function. Perhaps. Perhaps it needs to think about its energy, that is, its thoughts, to contribute to us.

But we constantly build up stress by warning him. We are constantly being warned. Through advertisements, podcasts, music, talking to someone, and more.

When does the brain breathe? When it sleeps. And most of us have disrupted sleep patterns. Perhaps this is why the brain descends into madness.

Who knows? 🤷‍♂️
