What I learnt in 2025

It's been two years already that I write down my ideas and goals at the end of the year. From now on, I will do that here and you will have access to the deepest parts of my brain ;)

Human Relations are the most valuable asset we have

Too much attention and importance are given to things that can be bought. Too much importance is given to money and many other things that come and go. I repeat: come and go. But these couldn't even be compared to a true friendship, the relationship between a parent and a kid, between a mentor and a student, or between siblings. Value those who are there for you. I've heard once that a person needs 2 real friends for life, and the 3 can get anywhere. On this subject, I couldn't be luckier, because I am pretty sure that I have found these friends.

May sound corny at this point and be overstated, but still, never give up.

The only possible way for someone to lose, or not succeed in some way, is in 99% of the time to give up. No matter the slope of the mountain, the hardships that distance you from your goal, the first step towards it is to believe that achieving it is possible, the second one is to never give up.

Productivity VS Time

Time goes on. It never stops. You can't take it back. So what should be prioritized, work or hedonism? The question matters even more at a young age. I came to the answer that prioritizing work is the right choice, as when the fruits of the work done show, the satisfaction of the results is far greater than the satisfaction that could possibly be felt through hedonism. Nevertheless, doing some nice social activity once per week is still pretty much mandatory for good psychological health.

Self-love and confidence

I feel like these two are interlinked with one's personal path and moving within it. Insecurity is born when someone feels lost, questions meaning, asks if it's all worth it. Not that the latter aren't any good, they're actually necessary, but it is important to go over these issues fast enough, while during that doing whatever you seem to enjoy.

About self-confidence towards a certain goal: it does not come from meditation, affirmations, some eastern spirituality, or some other self-gaslighting. It comes from showing the world the proof that you are who you say you are.

New age, new methods

Before, the social ladder was completely destroyed. Racism, sexism, and all the bad -isms and -phobias reigned the world. Now the situation is way better, but new constraints have appeared, mainly in the form of distractions. Social media, video games, and all the other sources of terrible dopamine push the masses further into the negative spiral towards misère.
