Books I want to read until this year. 📔📚📕


   


It's almost mid-year, and one of my purposes for this new year was to start to read books to cultivate and develop this new hobby. However, I barely have read a couple of pages of old books. I was indeed reading many articles, magazines and blogs to improve my English reading skill.


The lecture is one of the most powerful tools to learn and explore the world from another perspective; the ideas and content a good book can offer are worthiness. Most CEOs and famous entrepreneurs of important companies read at least one book per month; for instance, Bill Gates, co-founder and ex-chairman of Microsoft, reveals to read almost 2 books per week.


Reading offers many thematics since finance, technology advances, self-improvement, or simply fiction. Since I was reading articles and blogs, my vocabulary has raised to other levels that no were possible with the help of this. 


So, I want to spend my time reading interesting books, obviously in English, to continue my process and improve and develop my vocabulary and grammar. I want to start with this new purpose and learn what other writers have to teach.


Here is a list of  3 books that I started to read and want to finish in 2022:


- "Four thousand weeks: Time Management for Mortals", written by Oliver Bukerman.

- "The unfair Advantage", written by Ash Ali & Hassan Kubba.

- "Can't Hurt me", written by David Goggins.


I want to read these books because I listened to many good comments and suggestions, especially on Youtube; all are related to self-improvement and good management of time. I expect to cultivate this good habit and learn more about what the authors have to offer.

Working life has introduced me to a whole spectrum of folks, spanning different ages and backgrounds. It's fascinating how age can influence the dynamics within a group. Back in college, my peers were typically within the same age range as me, roughly 20 to 25. But stepping into the workforce erased that age barrier entirely.  In my interactions, I've noticed some distinct patterns. The younger crowd tends to wear their hearts on their sleeves, valuing ideas and relationships above all else. On the flip side, the older and mid-life crew often prioritize climbing the career ladder and accruing material success. Bosses come in all shapes and ages too. Seasoned veterans bring a calm, empathetic vibe to the table, having seen it all before. On the other hand, the millennial bosses I've encountered can be a bit more... fiery. They're quick to react and slow to forgive, making them a bit of a challenge to work with. Sure, millennials might be shaking things up and spearheadin...

Another trip twelve years later

It has been a while since I finished high school, those were some of the best moments I have ever lived, my high school had a vast surface extension, many buildings and sections, and many classrooms crowded with hundreds of students. There, I studied for almost six years, I met good friends, some love and splendid moments that bring me a smile each time I recall. I never thought I missed my time there, when I was a teenager I swore I'd never turn back my sight to that place, now twelve years later I come back to the place that built me as a person. Last weekend, I had to work as an assistant for the referendum election in my country, as the last time I worked in the same position, I already knew what that job meant. To my surprise, the place was my old high school. I felt a nostalgia mixed with foreignness, I was part of that place for many years, but I felt like a stranger when I came back, many places were stagnant in time. I could visit my first classrooms just to find they were...

Prioritizing my to-do list

Since I started to document and follow my routine, endless things undone have reminded me that I need to make them time because they are also important. This feeling generates a guilty sentiment and anxiety for not giving them enough attention. But how do I prioritize among many significant things? Doing exercise is important, eating healthy too, studying and applying for jobs are equally important, but what receives more attention? what is not essential? This situation of deciding what requires more attention has put me in a challenging situation. Do I need to sacrifice my exercise routine to study more? What if I focus only on one thing at a time? While I worked my English routine decreased, and my motivation to study too, because as I mentioned before I was putting more time into either working or exercising. I thought I would have more time to do many things when I was younger, but the reality was different. Being an adult means you need to put some dreams aside if you want to avoi...
