You are so focused on switching off and going back to sleep - so, though it serves the purpose of waking you up, it does not help you stay awake.

It might be a good idea to follow it up always with a softer one which will remind you that the objective is to keep awake and not switch the annoying alarm off :)

money has no value.

In fact, it shouldnt.

If there is no such point for you, you are in deep trouble.

100 days of managing finances! A rewarding system.. :)

To an organized future..

Pause and think about why exactly you made that choice.

The observations are very insightful! :)

Than it is to appreciate.. but that would be missing the point.. there is always scope for improvement.. but that’s not the point.. the point is to appreciate the beauty - and you can always find it if you look hard enough - of the current state. To enjoy this beauty. Then, you can go about improving it.. not because you don’t you don’t like the current state.. but because you love what you see in it and want to make it so much better.

Practice what you preach.. but preaching what you practice may not always be a good idea.. even if you are convinced your practice is a sound one..

Anything you might face, all your concerns, your wants are insignificant - if you broaden your view sufficiently. You are then left in a state of satisfied bliss :)

Be happy, because there is nothing to worry about.

could be as bad as underperformers in your team..

If everyone looks up to one person as someone to fall back on, that person doesnt belong in the team.

In short, fire Ronaldo/Gerrard!

Interested people want to know if something works.. Fascinated people want to learn how it works.. Let fascination drive you.. And indeed, there is an entire universe to be fascinated about!
