What would I do if I didn’t know any better?

Clueless!
I want to be clueless.
Awareness sucks. What good is to know what come after what’s next? I want to ignore it, but I can’t, so I see and observe clueless people going through life with a huge grin on their face, and . . . it doesn’t face them, they are clueless about the [...]

The art of WHY?

I just came back from running at the beach, in the rain!
My jogging partner cancelled on me because of the rain, and I told myself JUST FUCKING DO IT!
It was amazing! And while I was running I could not help but think about the movie Million Dollar Baby where there’s a sign in the [...]

I don’t get it

I am the master of the how-to, trust me on this.
You can even challenge me, you’ll be surprised of the stuff that I know or that I can do, from sophisticated option trading, to IT stuff, coding, photography, SEO, SEM, cooking . . . and – best of all – if I don’t know or [...]

No Plan

So last night I didn’t write down any plan for today.  Of course I could go on and on with the WHYs and all, but either you look at them as justification, excuses, or pure BS, the result remains: I made a promise to myself, and I didn’t deliver to myself.
Why does it matter?  It [...]

Is it working?

Is this blog working?
Is shouting to the world those deep thoughts that I am constantly trying to suppress work?  You bet!
Don’t smile, don’t call me a loser!  You yourself have these and probably even worst thoughts.  Do you ignore them?  Suppress them?  Pretend they don’t exist?  Bury them?  Even hidden they poison your mind, they [...]

Confidence vs. Stupidity

So I am watching TV in the background, and there’s “Deal or no Deal”.  What a show!
Delusional people who try to defy statistics and science not even with hope, but with plain old BS.  And yet I am a bit jealous of them.  I am not saying give up hope and be negative, I am [...]

TOO MUCH

When I was poor (not that I am rich now), I had nothing, at times it appeared I had less than nothing.
Now that I can have anything I want to develop my business and professional persona (within limit) I have too much, and I waste it with no sense and purpose, just an excuse to [...]

Why the title: “Climbing Up the tree . . .”

I analyze anything and everything.  Very interesting, for the first time in my life, right now I realized that “analyze” starts with “anal”, yikes!
For way too long in my life I have been a left brainiac, everything happens for a reason, cause -> effect rules the world.  Rationality is the standard, and anything else is [...]

MAKING A PLAN

I can make the best plans.
As long as they are not for me.
And if I have to, I can make the best plans for me as well.  I just don’t follow through.
How many times I have set to make at least a daily plan, tonight before going to sleep, I need to write down my [...]

ACTION!

So today I have procrastinated a pretty important meeting about a new job.
I had it all prepared to day to read material, be prepared, email a few questions, prepare a proposal and set-up a new meeting to discuss details about the job (a freelance job) as well as compensation etc.
My negative attitude believes that:

The company [...]
