Framework Thinking

We never think about thinking, metacognition, they call it. Its something that has stuck with me for a really really long time since I first heard about it about 15 years ago  Then I heard Amin Toufaani taking about Lygometry, the quantification of what one does not know. What a cool name, Toofani, what a cool name, lygometry.  Now the two things are together in my mind, lygometric approach to thinking should be something taught at schools and beyond.

Ah. To be rejected

 Rejection is hard, probably the hardest part of life 

From a program, from a loved one, from anything that seems to be of consequence. And then I wonder why that is. It feels super personal, like the world is conspiring against you, like you made all these mistakes and that its all your fault

But whats not ok is associating that with your self worth as a person 

Take the loss. Learn from it. Move on in life. Be ok with being rejected, and hopefully one day success will come knocking. 

Trying to make myself feel better, along with all of you


cheers.
