In every situation(business or emotional), make yourself useful. Usefulness makes relations strong and mutually satisfactory. Don't make your partner request it from you. When requesting, it feels like borrowing. Borrowing is a burden or weight for people. No one really wants to carry a burden for a long time.

I choose to study in library because:- I was spending like 5$ to get to there.- Everyone was watching me.- I wasn’t able to watch videos on YouTube, use social medias stuff out there.- I couldn’t go outdoor and take 1 or 2 hours of break.

When facing a problem we tend to generalize so we can approach the problem at a systemic level. We do this when building products but also in how we conduct our lives. However, it's mostly premature:<ul><li>Abstraction is a form of optimization and should not be done before the space has been properly explored.&nbsp;</li><li>Standardization is also optimization and should be avoided until there is enough evidence to support the standardization.&nbsp;</li></ul>

Avoid premature optimization

A leading question inquires about whether the other person agrees or not with a statement. Interrogative ones start with what, why, when, who, where.&nbsp;"Did you like the song?" (leading) vs "What did you think about the song?" (interrogative).&nbsp;A leading question is more emotionally charged and low in information. It leads to .... worse engagements.

Interrogative over leading questions

Lincoln once said: "I hate that man. I must get to know him better"Instead of using your initial instincts about a person to guide your future interactions, use curiosity. Seek to know them better.

Deal with knee-jerk reactions

We think that being in the know is important for us personally. And that it's also a duty of a well-informed, responsible citizen.&nbsp;You can better understand the world if you cut the news. News is rarely as important as they seem and act as addictive drugs, giving us dopamine hits all the time.&nbsp;
