100 Days Challenge. 8/100 Are we living in a digital panopticon? Firstly, what is a panopticon? This is a sort of prison idealized by the English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century. It works with a guard at the center, surrounded by the cells of prisoners, in the way the guard is able to watch each spot of the prison and all the prisoners won’t be able to know when they are being watching by the guards. In that way they will behave properly. When I say, we’re living in a digital panopticon. I want to warn you about the surveillance services that are watching us. Mostly, people say they don’t have anything to hide or they don’t do anything wrong. But, try to picture this; if you had a smart home and you like to watching your house from the internet. How easily would be for a thief broke into your house or just watching your daily life. The problem of surveillance programs is how people with bad intentions could use this data to do nefarious things. Nowadays, surveillance programs have been using in two ways. Face recognition and face surveillance. Probably you might ask what is the problem, because you are a good person only wrong people need to be scary of. The danger of face surveillance lays in, how people can use it. If all of your records were connected to a data base, all your associations and movements would be cataloged and saved in a database. Therefore, this kind of technology creates a digital panopticon threating our free-speech, free-association or free-religion.

100 Days Challenge. 7/100 Do you need money to make money? One thing that I realized recently is, if you are rich anything you do will be good for you. However, a lot of big companies started without any money, only with a good idea and a lot of willpower. They are what we call, internet entrepreneur. Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Apple these are companies that started in that way. What did make these companies become what they are? In my opinion, you have to believe in yourself if you don’t who will? But at certain point you have achieved your breakthrough but the market change so quickly that you have to decide, is it worth to sell your company? For some ownerships the answer is yes. Try to picture this. Instagram, whatsapp and youtube would be what they are nowadays? The answer is who knows. Many companies have offered to buy Facebook, but they never accepted. One of those were Yahoo, and look at them now. Success companies have to be clever and follow the market. Nowadays profitable companies are investing in services and probably this is what made these companies what they are.

100 Days Challenge. 6/100 Are you punctual? I always try to be punctual. Because for me, being punctual is being respectful. Try to put yourself in the place of another person, if were you wanting for hours, how would you feel? Sometimes, unpredictable things happened. This is normal, but there are people who don’t care and get late as if were normal. I’d like to be the sort or person, who wakes up earlier without an alarm. I always use an alarm. Sometimes, I get late because of the snooze. Have you ever said to yourself only more five minutes? And then woke up too late? This kind of thing only happening with me when I don’t have any kind of important thing. If I have, probably I won’t sleep well. I’ve already had some problems with friend getting too late, then I realized how simple is to handle with that. If you and your friend settle to 4:00 pm and your friend always get late 30 minutes, it’s only say to his friend that the meeting will start 3:30 pm.

100 Days Challenge. 5/100 Is consumerism ruining our lives? I’ve been thinking, how much our lives are controlled by consumerism. Have you ever noticed? how some people have to purchase new stuff each year and some things are made to break. Unfortunately, this is the bedrock of our society though. More people purchasing new stuff creates more jobs. The point is, how this is making us addicted and chasing a sort of happiness that is not real. Media has been using advertisement to make us purchasing new things because they sell is for us, promising happiness. If you buy this new smartphone, you will take better pictures to show your perfect life. People have started to associate new things with happiness at certain point that if I have a bad day, I will buy something to feel good. This is resulting in highest levels of depression and anxiety in our society and also tons of garbage. This is my humble opinion. Every time you feel a desire to purchase new stuff, try to think if you really need it or if there is something you can do to feel at the same way, if you purchased it.

100 Days Challenge. 3/100 If there are any grammar mistakes and / or weird word choice, please correct them, please. Thanks Is our life like a video game? Do you like to play video games? If the answer is yes. Have your ever realized how our life looks like a strategic video game? Yeah, it really does. In this game your major important resources are time and willpower, you have to choose wisely where to put it, in order to become accomplished in the end. At the beginner you don’t have any kind of experience and you rely on everybody to do simple tasks as eat or even get around. You have to working on your basic skills as speak or reading in order to unlock skills more advanced and areas of the map unexplored yet. Throughout the game there are some mini-games; like learning to ride a bicycle, working out or get a relationship. All these games will brush up your character and put you on the path of success, you have to decide which one you want to play as I said earlier, because each mini-game will drain your time and willpower. Unfortunately, time is a resource that you aren’t able to recover, willpower is though. In order to recover your willpower, you have to eat and sleep purposefully. At the end of game there’s not much to do, if you have played it well and were able to manage your resources, you will feel fulfill.

100 Das Challenge. 2/100 About Accountability This interesting word doesn't exist in my native language and recently I stumbled across with it. Most people, confuses this word with the word responsibility, at least in my country. These two words are totally different. All the things you have a duty is responsibility for example, you work in a big company and in your time one of your friends isn't doing his job well, he has started to get late every day. You could just, tell to your superior or just do anything it's not your job. But you decide to talk to him and you find out he is going through some problems at home. After some time, your friend has come back to normality at job. Did you realize? You have just done a good thing, it wasn't your duty though, you could just shut down your eyes and saying to yourself another person will do it. Every single time you manage this kind of situation you're being an accountable person; you're choosing to do something more. But we aren't only accountable for others, we're accountable for ourselves too. Have you ever blamed someone else or something for your problems? I'd like to learn another language, but it takes much time, I'd like to lose some weight, but it's so difficult going to the gym every day, I'm taking bad grades at school because all my professors don't teach well. In all these situations you're using excuses when you could be accountable for yourself and try do something more in order to get better results in your life.

100 Days Challenge. 1/100 if there are any grammar mistakes and / or weird word choice, please correct them, please. Thanks. What is beauty? Recenttely, I was talking about this subject in one of my English lessons then, I realized how depth is it, though. I guess to answer this question we could look at two point of views. First one, what each individual accept truthfully being beauty and second one, what is largely accepted as beauty. Each person undergo through many situations throughout their lives, thus, each person has a different way to look at the world. To dig more deeply my point of view, I came up with an interesting example, if you travelled to a paradise island that many people would say it was a beautiful place then, you ate something and you get ill even though you was at a great place, you had one of the worst experiences of your life, you will look at this place and think “that was an ugly place, I don’t want to travel to there again” because you’ll associate this place with a bad experience and this will happened to all the places like this, the same we could think about people, all our previous experiences will dictate what kind of people will have an appeal to us. Throughout the history the standards of beauty has been changing, some ages ago fat women were associated with fertility then they were saw as the most beautiful women nowadays there is a pressure over the women to become more and more slim ( there is many cases of models dying of anorexia to take part in this world). In my opinium beauty is something subjective, it’s depend of each person and also the commom ideals of a society
