Outsourcing our brain and memory. Google. Knowledge.

We don't need to remember anything now. We have outsourced our memory to the cloud. Even decision makings we have outsourced to algorithms and big data. And they are more accurate than any human. See Google map or self driving cars. We don't need to remember or even have meet up to know what is happening with our friends. Facebook can tell us everything, well for most people. We don't need to remember almost all things.  Google is our most trusted teacher and has infinite knowledge. Education system or ways of acquiring knowledge has changed, anyone can learn anything, anytime now, or free of cost.  Watching videos, reading news or blogs, we can learn anything now. Even how to become billionaires or help billions of people. Time has changed a lot. Even how to not stupid we can learn from the cloud or internet. How to be not jealous of others which I haven't googled yet we can know too. Most of the knowledge we can know or has ever produced are available ...

Having many careers

I don't know but we tend to have only one career. But one career is a very recent thing in our 200000 plus years of human evolution. Some of us heck most of us will not have the only career we wanted. But it is not normal to have only one career. We are many career loving animals but somehow we feel we need to live with only one career and because of this thinking it is bound to happen that most of us wil not have our choice of career. But life is long and we can have many careers. We fear rejection we fear failure we fear not being responsible we fear mostly failure we want stability we want constant source of income but we can have multiple source of incomes . Fear of failure, not taking risks because we might fail has made most of us lead a not chosen path. -- Devraj Mayanglambam

Employment . Goals. Unemployment. Books.

I never seriously thought about becoming an employee. This is because I don't want to work or am too lazy to go to work everyday, i have no idea. But now as i am old, I think i might not become an employee. Of course i will work and become employee of my own. A self employer . I am already my own employee. I see myself thriving and struggling every day for me to have a satisfying life of my own definition. What is happiness, what is satisfying I don't even know. But when i am very hungry, eating something is very satisfying . Also drinking alcohol  and gossiping while doing that  i find it satisfying. Worrying about money it is not satisfying. I sometimes worry about money. There are no work where i can do anything i want. I have to become my own employee to do anything i want. I am already doing by writing anything i want. Uploading videos of any types i want. Also doing the page humans of manipur is a very meaningful thing i am proud of myself of all things i do. When I think...

Measurement error or goal change or maturity

Maybe it is an error in how we measure success. Or maybe because we keep changing goals or milestones. Or perhaps it is maturity, maybe not. But we feel sometimes not satisfied with current situation. We feel we need to do more. That we need to go more. It will be much better if we are doing just for the sake of doing. Not because we are measuring our own success or state to something. Feeling a state of dissatisfaction or always doing something to achieve more and get more is indeed  a sign of failure to live in a right way. I forget i need to do things just for the sake of doing and not compare or measure with anything. Even with myself especially. Of course not never  with anything or anyone. -- Devraj Mayanglambam

Happiness

Happiness We don't know what it is. What to do. How to get. But we certainly know what not to do. We know  certain things which make us unhappy. So not doing them will not make us unhappy.  It is all about not doing certain things. -- Devraj Mayanglambam

Reading 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson

This is a nice book. But of course have completed only the first chapter. I had read one or two chapters from the middle part of this book some months ago. This time i start from the first chapter plus the preface part. This is maybe my 4th or 5th psychological books. Or books written by psychologist. This book is great. I have to spend many time i think on this. I have listened to some of his interview moments  conducted with Joe Rogan on YouTube. This is a recommendation from me. You kight enjoy this book friendss. Good night. -- Devraj Mayanglambam

Dealing With Anxiety. HOW TO LIVE LIFE. What not to do.

Now most of us fear just death. A simple and plain death, of old age death. Death because of disease. We worry we would die of diabetes or blood pressure. We never worry of inglorious death anymore. Life was very easy it seems in the old days. Now we compare lives to those we see online. On Instagram or Facebook. We see them happy. Some of the happiest people on earth are not on social media. And most of the happy looking, successful looking people online are the most unhappy people. There are many people who think they're not required to show anything. They think they have nothing to show to the world to tell what they're or whether they are happy or successful. ::: As you know I am writing on my 5.5 inches iPhone 6s Plus mobile phone on Google Keep app. I am just playing a song with headphones but at very low volume. Just to listen to something. Today I am writing a book after many days. In fact it has been more than a year. I just feel I need to write this book. Maybe 10 pag...

Big dinner

I just had a large big dinner. Eaten full stomach very good. Enjoy a lot. Full stomach dinner are always good. Still as my stomach is full I don't feel like writing. So bye for now. -- Devraj Mayanglambam

Best books i enjoyed rereading

As you know since 2015 I have been reading lots of books because i have lots of free time plus i got addicted to it. Some books i enjoy rereading includes Seneca's On the shortness of life, Letters from a stoic,  Plus all the books written by Nassim Nicholas Taleb since his Fooled by Randomness was out. Also by Indian writers I like Rashmi Bansal's books. They are entrepreneurship type but about life in general too. These are best books i enjoy rereading.  Some books i haven't done rereading or haven't felt rereading them. I don't know how much but i have read a lot. I am like addicted to reading.  As i read on my tablet and sometimes on laptop which is 15.6 inches and sometimes but rarely now on my 5.5 inches phone i feel tired of course on my eyes. Because of this only i stop reading everyday. But i read multiple times in a day. I read on Amazon Kindle app. And on Google book app. When the book is cheaper on Google book i buy on Google book. I bought Amazon Kindle...
