四月四日清明节[sì yuè sì rì qīng míng jié]

It's been a while since I posted something. Happy 2023! 

I recently watched The Glory and am currently watching My Name on Netflix. They are similar because both of the lead characters are seeking revenge. 

It got me thinking.

Since two wrongs don't make a right, should we always be the bigger person and show mercy?

To forgive and forget?
To forgive but never forget?

Or

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

Is there a limit to what we can put up with as humans? What do we do if someone crosses that line?

It was fascinating and I am enjoying My Name so far. I will watch the final episode tonight and post my thoughts after that. 

(A little disclaimer: they are both disturbing so do not watch either of them if the nature of the show is something you are sensitive to.)

"The Glory": A K-Drama About Revenge!

اليوم عِنْدِي رِحْلَة السَاعَة سِتَّة المَغْرِب من بَيرُوت لِإسطَنْبُول.
حَجَزْت التَذْكِرَة قَبل يَومَين عَشَان كِدَا كَانَت غَالْيَة مَرَّة.
عَلَى كُلٍّ, لازم أَكُون بِالمَطَار قَبل سَاعْتَين, بس أنا أَفَضِّل أَرُوح قَبل ثَلَاثَة سَاعَات عَشَان الوَاحِد مَا يِعْرِف ايش مُمْكِن يْصِير.
أَخُوي حَيِجِي هِنَا لَمَّا يخَلِّص شُغل عَشَان يْوَصِّلْنِي للمَطَار بْسَيَّارْتُه.
هَذِه المَرَّة حَجَزْت الكُرْسِي جَنب الطَاقَة مُو زَي المَرَّة المَاضْيَة كَان الكُرْسِي بِالنُص.
بس والله خَايِف يكَلِّمُونِي عَشَان الوَزْن, لأنو عِنْدِي ثَلَاثَة كَيلُو زْيَادَة بِالشَنْطَة.
عَلَى كُلٍّ, مَعَاي فْلُوس زِيَادَة عَشَان إِذَا كَان لَازِم أَدْفَع للوَزْن

5 Steps to Business Habit Stacking

STEP 1
Identify 1-3 key habits you want to focus on developing that will have the biggest positive impact on your business. These should be habits that are relatively easy to implement but provide high value such as daily planning, delegating tasks or networking. Focus on habits that are specific, measurable actions you can take each day to make progress towards your goals.

STEP 2
Choose an existing daily habit you already have as an anchor. This could be making your bed, taking your vitamins or checking email. The anchor habit should be something quick and easy you already do daily. Picking an anchor you already do each morning or evening will help cue the new habits without adding extra effort.

STEP 3
Immediately follow your anchor habit with one of the key habits you identified. For example, if your anchor is checking email in the morning, follow it with taking 10 minutes to plan your day. Doing the new habit right after the anchor will help the cues become associated over time.

STEP 4
Repeat the key habit daily, right after your anchor habit, until it becomes a routine. It may take 21-30 days for a new habit to stick so be patient and consistent. Don't try to build multiple habits at once. Staying focused on one habit at a time will help it to form more successfully without overload.

STEP 5
Once the first key habit is a routine, add the second by stacking it after your anchor and initial habit. For example, your routine is now check email > plan your day > delegate one task. Continue stacking until all your key habits are locked in. Stacking new habits onto existing routines helps you develop multiple productive habits efficiently.
