Be yourself

21 Jun 2018

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to be yourself.

I must not fear

20 Jun 2018

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Hyper scheduling update

10 Jun 2018

Last week I mentioned starting with hyper scheduling. I must say, the first day was a great success. I really could mark a number of tasks as complete at the end of the day, and it felt good! The day after I was not that successful however. My scheduling efforts went totally down the drain. The rest of the week was kind of a mix between good days and bad days (although the bad days were successful in other ways, just not in the scheduling sense).

I’m convinced hyper scheduling does work, it will however work better on certain days than on others. I need to learn to discern what the signs are before taking the effort to make a schedule as to not waste the time (although the time invested can be somewhat deducted the next day).

I’m going to keep on hyper scheduling!

Falcon Heavy

07 Feb 2018

This is awesome! On February 6, 2018, SpaceX launched the Falcon Heavy for the first time. Elon Musk stated it was a 50-50 chance things would go right (or wrong, whatever you prefer). But it went great (almost)!

The video below starts with the landing of the two outer cores, but the whole video is worth looking at:

Too bad the center core was not able to land intact on the drone ship, but I’m sure they’ll figure out what went wrong and fix it.
