Speaking of nothing
Sometimes I feel the things I write - perhaps not things I write here - are so good I shouldn’t give them away for free. Away for free on wordpress or some poetry site. That said, I can’t be sure that’s true and getting published isn’t easy.
Then in the course I take now, we follow IKIGAI.
Well, the answer to the questions - What I’m good at? ; What I love? ; What the world need? ; What I could get paid for - is in my case chemistry and life science, not writing. However that’s just elementary and high school chemistry I’m good at. University studies is another animal. And here I’m not going to be bitter over the enormous difference between high school and university.
Speaking of being bitter. I might suspect the reason I get affected by the outside world's criticism of us is that I know how it is to be bullied and that makes me sensitive to criticism. Now some might say it, in what case, sounds like I need to process/work through my experience of being bullied decades ago. But it’s easier to share things like this and wonder if “they” will apologize for a priori judging our public health agency.
Now one shouldn’t take that too far either. Not being as sure in oneself as the pro-draconaian-rules people are. That’s the great thing about Prof Francois Balloux, he’s a scientist, on twitter, who knows the words: “I don’t know”. Just a tips if you're on twitter and don't follow him. And now I need to go back to writing an email for my course.
