Teatime | Write a Poem6/18/2024 If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind? It's always delightful when reading a poem like Percy Bysshe Shelley's "Ode to the West Wind" (1820). However, I'm not quite ready to write one of my own. To enjoy a delightful moment with poetry, I've turned to ChatGPT for assistance. The poem is about the experience of Hauser's Rebel with a Cello concert. The Croatian cellist's vibrant and engaging performance style resonates well with the audience and creates an intimate experience for his fans. The prompt I give is: Can you make a short poem that vividly describes a rock music concert where people, filled with anticipation and excitement, are thrilled to see their favorite cello musician and are enthusiastically singing along? The result is quite satisfying. In the heart of the crowd,
the lights start to fade, Excitement erupts as the shadows parade. A cello gleams bright, its strings start to sing, The rock rhythm blends with the classical swing. Lyrics fly on wings of fire, Uniting all in shared desire. Colors spread like roses wild, Where rock’s pure heart fiercely smiled. Cheers rise as chords embrace, In rock’s eternal, fiery space. A single night, forever caught, In the spell that music wrought. Managing personal finances wisely is crucial for achieving long-term stability and success. Here's a concise guide to becoming financially competent:
Chat|Be Yourself6/9/2024 Do you genuinely love yourself, including your life situation, your ability, and your appearance? Then, take a few steps to celebrate for you. Yes! For yourself.
1. Stop the comparison game Are you used to asking yourself, "Why is she more beautiful than I?" "Why she looks younger than I do?" "Why he has a better job and get promoted more quickly than I do?"... All these outcomes from engaging in matchups, a mental game where we compare our worst to someone else's best. You don't have to do this. How would you compare an orange and an apple? Be happy with who you are or do something to make a change. Don't compare yourself with others. Compare it with yourself. 2. No one is perfect Understand this truth: perfection is not a destination you can reach. However, you are constantly evolving and transforming through your mistakes, successes, talents, and shortcomings. So, be gentle and understanding with yourself, just as you would with a dear friend. 3. Define Yourself by Who You Are You are not defined by your position, your house, your hairstyle, or your clothes. You are defined by what you think, what you do, and how you communicate. Your true self is not determined by external factors, but by your thoughts, actions, and interactions with others. 4. It's OK to live without a plan Work needs a plan. Travel requires a plan. Children's study needs a plan. However, you don't have to live on a plan and keep shooting a list of targets. Sometimes, it's OK to take a break from planning and go with the flow. When you feel like it, take a day and live without a plan. Go out to see a show. Forget about the laundry. Watch a movie randomly. Search for something on the internet at will. Don't push yourself. Live like a child for a day and see if that makes you happy. 5. No need to prove to others There is no need to prove yourself to others. Sometimes, there is no right or wrong. We all have different points of view. So be yourself. Chat|Be Your Own Person6/2/2024 In today's chat, let's discuss the importance of being true to ourselves and how to assert our individuality. Life is complex and challenging, especially when external influences attempt to sway our decisions and control our lives.
For example, you were looking at a tempting cake in the show window. Just about stepping forward, your husband said, "We need to control our sugar intake." Does the sugar control have to be done at that moment and on that specific-looking tasty cake? Probably not. But you stopped. Hey! Your dear husband is influencing. Traveling in Europe, I saw many travelers holding cameras and talking. They are creating a travel log for YouTube. I wonder how many surrounding details they will miss if they can relax, emerge into the mid-century town, and feel the time passing through these pebble-paved roads and well-architected houses. I am sure their mind is occupied at least 40% by their imagined viewers. Do they need to please their audience? Do they lose some of their own from this? Hell Yes! Where am I, and where am I heading? What am I thinking? What do I enjoy? Who would I be with, and who would I care about? All of these answers tell me who I want to be. I will talk to you later. I need my time now, and so do you. Make your own time, space, and decisions—that's your birthright. Have a great day. I enjoy talking to you and hope you feel the same. |
