Take a look at some of the most. powerful, rich, and famous people in the world. Ignore the trappings of their success and what they’re able to buy. Look instead at what they’re forced to trade in return—look at what success has cost them.
Mostly? Freedom. Their work demands they wear a suit. Their success depends on attending certain parties, kissing up to people they don’t like. It will require—inevitably—realizing they are unable to say what they actually think. Worse, it demands that they become a different type of person or do bad things.
Sure, it might pay well—but they haven’t truly examined the transaction. As Seneca put it, “Slavery resides under marble and gold.” Too many successful people are prisoners in jails of their own making. Is that what you want? Is that what you’re working hard toward? Let’s hope not.

A Scientist Says Humans Will Reach the Singularity Within 20 Years
An American computer scientist-turned-futurist, Kurzweil has long believed that humanity is headed toward what’s known as “the singularity,” when man and machine merge. In 1999, Kurzweil theorized that artificial general intelligence would be achieved once humanity could achieve a technology capable of a trillion calculations per second, which he pegged to occur in 2029.
Experts at the time scoffed at the idea, figuring it’d be at least a century or more, but with Kurzweil’s timeline only a few years off—and talk of AGI spreading—that decades-old prediction is beginning to loom large.

CUTTING BACK ON THE COSTLY
“So, concerning the things we pursue, and for which we vigorously exert ourselves, we owe this consideration—either there is nothing useful in them, or most aren’t useful. Some of them are superfluous, while others aren’t worth that much. But we don’t discern this and see them as free, when they cost us dearly.”
—SENECA, MORAL LETTERS, 42.

—SENECA, MORAL LETTERS, 42.
Of Seneca’s many letters, this is probably one of the most important—and one of the least understood.
He’s making a point that goes unheard in a society of ever-bigger houses and ever more possessions:that there’s a hidden cost to all that accumulating. And the sooner we’re aware of it, the better.
Remember: even what we get for free has a cost, if only in what we pay to store it—in our garages
and in our minds. As you walk past your possessions today, ask yourself: Do I need this? Is it
superfluous? What’s this actually worth? What is it costing me?
You might be surprised by the answers and how much we’ve been paying without even knowing it.

How you wanna be remembered as??
As the time passes by I realized
#Logic is the most beautiful thing we humans ever came up with.
#Logic is the most beautiful thing we humans ever came up with.
Because it’s the only common ground we have to agree or disagree. It’s tough to talk to people who just follow anything blindly, without logic. But if what you do or believe is truly based on logic, you can win anyone’s heart.(whose not blind)
Sometimes it's hard to differentiate emotion with work, where ever you are don't let the emotion lead you but logic.
If you loss ur temper maybe ur just a kid , who don't know how to live or do things.
So don't loss temper, don't loss you. If ur under pressure, well you need that pressure. Your not gonna die because your going through some pressure. Just use that pressure to achieve what ever you wanna achieve or do. Always things are aginst the odd. Especially if ur living ur life according to u, well things don't go banana's. Sometimes it may sucks(truly there is gonna be a time that it sucks), but knowing you don't have to proof anyone....just u and ur self. (You could say GOD is there) what makes it beautiful and adventures.

" No matter what happens
Keep ur head up
Handle it and hold on."
Don't sit there and complain just act on it. Life goes on. Ur sad ( somebody break you, everybody is up against you, ur gf/bf leaves you) , so what the earth doesn't stop rotating around the sun.
Life goes on.
Just keep your head up.
Keep your head up.

On my way to gym
In the middle of no where
All the rain droplets of addis is on me
There is no place I could hide from the rain
There is no one on the street
No light(elpa😏😏)
So one song came up to me
And I sung the song on my way
"ሆ ብሎ ተነሳ
ህዝባዊ ሰራዊት
ጉዞ ጀመረ
እየዘመረ
አቀበቱን
ቁልቁለቱን
ወጣ ወረደ ሰራዊቱ
ሀገሬ
መመኪያ ክብሬ
አትደፈርም

Any way shout out to our brave soldiers. Remembered me of air force.

DON’T TRUST THE SENSES
“Heraclitus called self-deception an awful disease and eyesight a lying sense.”
—DIOGENES LAERTIUS, LIVES OF THE EMINENT PHILOSOPHERS, 9.7
Self-awareness is the ability to objectively evaluate the self. It’s the ability to question our owninstincts, patterns, and assumptions. Oiêsis, self-deception or arrogant and unchallenged opinion,requires that we hold all our opinions up to hard scrutiny; even our eyes deceive us.

On the one hand, that’s alarming. I can’t even trust my own senses?! Sure, you could think about it that
way. Or you could take it another way: because our senses are often wrong, our emotions overly alarmed,
our projections overly optimistic, we’re better off not rushing into conclusions about anything. We can
take a beat with everything we do and become aware of everything that’s going on so we can make the
right decision.

When I was in airforce military training, we're on training and on duty 11pm(LT) - 3pm(LT){for 15 Hours street}, after that I have to video edit the training that is captured by camera man's. From 3pm - 8 or 9 pm(LT){for 5 hours after training and duty}, I have my duties between also as a video editor ........after that when I get out from the place I video edit( ግብር ቤት it's military name) cause there is no light nearer or the place is no where closer to town ( it's a military training place it can't be closer) I used to watch the sky , men the sky is so much clearer I can see some planets easily (naked eye). And men I was in heaven.
I was deep in space.
#So don't be scared to dream. Don't be scared of the place your in.( I feel air force as my 2nd home) Why you even scared of that? Somebody is doing sth you can do. You and I can do it. Remember that!!!
