Never be ashamed of trying. Effortlessness is a myth.

Knowing something to keep and something to release, you can't carry all things. Decide what is yours to hold and let the rest go.

It's totally up to you.

My experiences has been that my mistakes led to best things in my life, and being embarassed when you messed up it's part of the human experience. Getting back up, dusting yourself off and seeing who still wants to hang out with you afterward and laugh about it, that's a gift.

Losing things doesn't just mean losing. A lot of times when we lose things, we gain things too.

every choice you make leads to the next choice, wich leads to the next choice, which leads to the next and i know it's hard to know which path to take.

There will be time in life where you need to standup for yourself.

Sometimes the right thing to do is to throw out the old schools of thought in the name of progress and reform

sometimes the right thing to do is to sit and listen to the wisdom of those who have come before us.

how will you know what the right choice is in thse crucial moments? You won't

The scary news is you're on your own now, but the cool news is, you're on your own now.

We are led by our gut instincts, our intuition, our desires and fears, our scars, and our dreams, and you will screw it up sometimes, so will I. Anyway, hard things will happen to us. We will recover we will learn from it. We will grow more resilient because of it

This is my old note that I wrote while watching Taylor Swift's commencement on YouTube. These are the sentences from Taylor Swift that I found very useful, and I ended up writing them down at that time. Enjoy reading.

Taylor Swift's NYU Commencement Speech

are you happy, but only under certain conditions? with me, learn to be happy unconditionally wherever you are in life.

Day 1: What’s Keeping You From Being Happy?

Are you making decisions with no support behind them? Just think, will this make me happy in the long run..

Day 2: How Do Your Actions Affect Your happiness?

Are you constantly bringing others down, or boosting them? Not saying you have to hide your sadness when with certain people, but.. do you wanna be someone who is always being sad and bringing people down, i don’t think so!

Day 3: How Is You’re Emotions Affecting Others?

It could be a person, place, thing, idea.. anything that makes you unconditionally happy. You see/think of it and instantly you feel better, keep this in your life.

Day 4: What’s Something That Makes You Really Happy?

Are you someone who is always giving advice to your friends, but no one is ever there for you? Think about this.. you need to learn everything about yourself before you learn something about someone else.

Day 5: Are You Sufficing Your Needs?

Are you a healthy coper? Taking a walk, working out, getting ready for the day etc. Or are you an unhealthy coper? Staying in bed, not handling your problems, isolating yourself etc. Those things will not help you gain your happiness any faster. Exercising and moving your body often will not only get your mind off of the issue, but keep you healthy.

Day 6: What Do You Do To Cope?

Did you do this program just because you saw it and thought, i’ll give it a try! Or because you’re driven and dedicated to completing the questions daily. Think about that, if you don’t have motivation, where are you going to get happiness?

Day 7: Do You Need Happiness Or Do You Want It?

This is your secret weapon for making sure conversations never get that awkward silence and after mastering it you will never run out of things to say.

The F.O.R.G.E method.

“Ultimately, the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or friendship, is conversation.”

F is for Family,O is for Occupation,R is for Recreation,G is for Geography,E is for Experience.

F.O.R.G.E.

“Good conversation is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.”

This is your go to for starting a conversation because everyone’s got some kind of family. It’s relatable and can open up a ton of pathways for your chat. You could ask things like, “Do you have any siblings?” or “What’s a crazy family tradition you guys have?”

F is for Family

“The stronger person is not the one making the most noise but the one who can quietly direct the conversation toward defining and solving problems.”

This one is huge because people spend most of their day at work. Dive into questions like, “What do you do for a living?” or “What’s your dream job?” You’re getting to understand their ambitions, passions, and maybe even what they’re hustling towards outside of their day job.

O is for Occupation

This is all about fun, hobbies, and what they do to chill. Ask things like, “What do you like to do for fun?” or “Got any hobbies that you’re really into?” This part of the conversation is crucial because it’s all about what makes them tick when they’re off the clock.

R is for Recreation

These ones about where they’re from, places they’ve lived, traveled to, or dream of seeing. Ask things like, “Have you traveled anywhere interesting lately?” or “Is there a place you’d love to visit someday?”

G is for Geography

Last is the gold mine of storytelling. You’re looking for those memorable moments, lessons learned, or just something interesting. Ask things like , “What’s an unforgettable experience you’ve had?” or “Have you learned anything important lately?”

E is for Experience

“A single conversation across the table with a wise man is better than ten years mere study of books.”

Problem Solving

From official website: Jim was once known as the “boy with the broken brain.”A childhood head injury at age five left him struggling in school. For a while, he even believed he could never be as good as other kids when it came to learning.Jim loved superheroes as a kid – and comic books saved him when conventional education couldn’t. Comic books taught Jim how to read…and they also kept his dreams alive that one day he, too, would find his inner superpower. As the years wore on, fate led Jim to a mentor, a friend’s father, who sent him on a journey to learn about his brain and learn how to use it.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of our daily lives, influencing decisions from personalised recommendations to critical healthcare diagnostics. Now with the ChatGPT, LLMs and other Generative AI technologies being emerging at a jet speed, there are some critical grey areas which demand our attention, with ethical considerations taking center stage. This article discusses about six key pillars of AI ethics

Accountability means making sure someone is responsible for the actions and outcomes of AI systems. It’s about being ready to fix mistakes and improve the system when needed.Example - Self-driving vehicles: For AI-driven cars, if there’s an accident, figuring out if the car's programming, the manufacturer, or something else is at fault is key to accountability.

Accountability

Fairness in AI ensures that AI systems treat everyone equally, without bias against any gender, race, or ethnicity. It aims to prevent discrimination and promote equality.Example - Application Tracking Systems (ATS): If an ATS used in hiring favors certain demographics because of its training data, it's crucial to address this bias. Ensuring fairness in such AI models helps create a more inclusive society.

Fairness:

Explainability is about making AI's decision-making transparent, so users can understand and trust how it reaches its conclusions.Example - AI in Finance: For an AI deciding on loan approvals, explainability means it can show which factors influenced its decision, helping applicants understand or contest the outcome.

Explainability

Transparency means openly sharing how AI systems work, from data use to decision-making processes, fostering trust and informed user interaction.Example - AI in Social Media: When social media platforms explain how their algorithms tailor user feeds, they promote transparency, empowering users to better control their online experience.

Transparency

Robustness is about making AI reliable in unforeseen conditions, ensuring it performs well even when faced with challenges like data changes or attacks.Example - Facial Recognition: A robust facial recognition system accurately identifies users under various conditions, like changes in lighting or expression, minimising errors and boosting dependability.

Robustness

Privacy focuses on protecting personal data from misuse or unauthorized access, emphasizing the responsible management of sensitive information.Example - Fitbit watches: Privacy in devices like Fitbit ensures users' health data is securely stored and accessed responsibly, fostering trust in how their information is handled.

Privacy

Adhering to the six pillars of AI ethics — Accountability, Fairness, Explainability, Transparency, Robustness, and Privacy — ensures AI systems are developed responsibly. These principles guide organizations in using AI while safeguarding users' rights and safety. Committing to these values fosters a trustworthy, ethical AI environment for all.
