You shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket. If something happens to the basket, then you will lose all your eggs. If you invest all your money into one stock and then that stock goes down, then you will lose a lot of money. It’s better to invest some money into multiple different stocks. If you only apply to the job you want most and ignore the others, then you may get no job at all. Instead, you should…

Nice day off Today was my day off. I didn’t go to work. It was really nice. The sky was solid gray. I walked to a coffee shop, and just as I got there it started to rain. I didn’t have an umbrella, so I stayed there. I tried to write, but not many words came out. I watched the students walking in the street with umbrellas. When the rain stopped, I walked back home. It was a very simple…
Safe to cross I can hit a pickleball at a motorbike. If it drives onto a pickle ball court, then it is playing pickleball. In the mirror I can see them coming.

Jealous of attention My coworker got a haircut, and everyone at work was excited and made a lot of noise. But nobody noticed when I got a haircut last week. It was a beautiful event when the trees shed their leaves. I was excited. Maybe there should have been a lot of noise and a big party with cake and everything. Q. When did you last get a haircut? Did you receive any compliments? Did you like the haircut?Q. Tell…
The other day I forgot my wrist watch at home when I went to work. I always wear the wrist watch, so it felt weird to not have it on me. I kept checking my wrist out of habit, and then remembering that it wasn’t there. I did this over and over. Whenever I would think about the time, my hand would automatically move up to my face. On the weekends, I like to go for long walks. I carry…
I was going to do homework today, but instead I went for a long walk. It was worth it. It was worth it because I needed a break. I’ve been thinking about work a lot, and I needed to just put it out of my mind for a while. The long walk felt good. The weather was just lightly raining all day long. I listened to podcasts on my headphones as I was walking. Putting off work was worth it…
I studied agriculture in college, but I didn’t follow a career in that field. Instead I became an itinerant teacher. But I don’t think that I wasted my degree. Even if I never grow any rice or keep any bees (which I hope I do), it would still be worth it to have studied agriculture. I’m enjoying taking photos of rice paddies, probably because I know a little about plants and soil and stuff. They say ‘the more you learn,…

It becomes possible to taste the subtler qualities and feel the effect of the caffeine more attentively. Moving slowly may help us be more aware of our surroundings and…
