hedging

Today I saw a video about speaking with more certainty, and it's something I used to be really good at. Kind of a lost art to me. I still got it but (and) I'm sure I can polish it up to be much better at it.

But the main thing that the video brought to my attention was hedging words. It's something I discussed with chat gpt previously as well. To sound more confident. The other points were ending with period, using down talk, and slowing down. I suppose slowing down is something I can practice as well.

But the main thing is getting rid of hedging words. I am writing this blog to highlight the hedging words I use, and I already notice some I have used.

I need(will) to practice getting rid of filler words too. It is remarkable how the way you do one thing is connected to how you do everything. The way you speak is connected to the way you write, and the way you write is connected to the way you think. So when you fix one thing, you fix other things by the way of connection.

This concept applies to everything in a man's life. If a man starts keeping his words, even if they are little, it will show up with him keeping big contracts and agreements. If a man cheats with the little things, eventually it will show with him cheating on his bigger promises.

How one acts also stacks his belief of himself and his identity. Therefore his actions will matter as much as his identity, because it is a self amplifying mechanism.

Life is a game, and it is an addictive one. It's engaging how there are ups and downs, and with hard work and practice, one can improve their stats.

Right now I am focused on self mastery and improving my social skills. It is very much entertaining and captivating. I love it.

Constructs

 We live in a world that is half illusion, half reality. Half of what we take as life is made up of constructs. Private property, status, success, conflicts, competition, businesses, brands, and zero-sum games. Game Theory, Laws, and Recipes. Humans create concepts and pretend that they are fundamental reality. The truth is half of the things around us were invented by us and only exist because we perpetuate their existence by considering them as fact. The only law of the universe is the law of physics. Everything else are just suggestions. -Elon Musk Everything around us was made by people no better than us. -Steve Jobs The world is a very malleable place. If one goes after what they want with maximum effort, most things can change. Most humans have the capacity to exert at least one of their visions in this world if they were to make that their sole life purpose. However we choose not to because we are distracted by vanities and distractions in ...

Act 3

     I feel that I have entered a new chapter of my life. My upbringing was act 1, and my introduction into business was act 2, then my transformation into a SAAS entrepreneur is the beginning of my act 3. Act 1 was around 25 years, act 2 was 5 years, and now I have spent about 6 months as a SAAS entrepreneur. I feel that a lot more time has passed than it actually has, but yeah it's quite a lot of work. The difference with the airbnb business is that, with airbnb it's limited by things such as physical space and time, for the SAAS business, there's no such limitation. I can put into it as much time and effort as I desire. In the airbnb business, the business is determined by how many rooms I have and how much time has passed. How much work I put into it did not change the revenue. Whereas in this business, if I put in 100 hrs instead of 10 hrs into an app, I would see the difference in revenue. And I believe I met my technical co founder so I'm excited about that. It...

Recognition

     So yesterday, 2 and a half months since I started my tiktok channel about picking up girls, I got recognized for the first time in real life, at the bar. It was kind of surreal, I couldn't help smiling. He said he really liked what I did and to keep up my work. I felt amazing in the moment. I think being genuine about my message, and helping the younger generation really did help them feel the message. He also echoed the sentiment, "fuck looksmaxxing". But I can't lie, when other friends I made at the bar saw him recognizing me as the "pickup guru", there was pressure put on me. I think other people, or girls noticed him noticing me too. And I felt performance anxiety. But I actually did quite well flirting with girls after that. Altho none of them really went anywhere, I felt I was more smooth with it. In a way I feel like starting all over. I feel like I'm putting my apprentice hat back on, but the teacher this time is old self, my memories of wha...
