Ignore life hacks
Tag: Choices
Be careful what you wish for
Anger that cannot be expressed in words of single syllables
Spoken with such venom as to frighten e’en the brave
Words, frustration-born and vicious, defamation in their wake
To punish those whose motives are only true and just
Speech that tolerates no mercy with honour cast aside
Respect a mere illusion the upright to deride
Assassinate the character of those who came to help
Creating phantom sickness to cover true intent
Wild accusations flying ‘gainst those who came to rescue
Whose only “crime” is caring, who saved you from yourself
A soap box, neatly positioned to spout specious arguments
Before so-called friends, while victims stay publicly silent,
Protecting the integrity of those dishonouring them
And of those who would suffer most
And why?
Perhaps a need to justify a conscience seared with sin
Perhaps because of jealousy barely hidden deep within
Perhaps because of knowing the ignored advice was wise
Perhaps because the innocent are unable to defend themselves
Brazen conduct masquerades as indignation
Against the protectors of future generations
A challenge thrown down to those who turn the other cheek
Be careful what you wish for, oh would-be assassin
You might just get it
And who will you hide behind, then?
The Data Protection Paradox–Are You a Vulnerable Person?
Are you encouraging people to take advantage of vulnerable persons? Maybe, inadvertently, you are. Consider this experience.

What’s your best tip for budget travel?
First, the answer to this question depends on what is meant by ‘travel’. It would be easy to assume that we are speaking about going to distant lands for whatever reason, but let’s not jump to that conclusion, especially if our purpose is to discuss vacation travel.

Have you ever regretted reading a book — which one and why?
There may have been books that I started and couldn’t be bothered to finish. Bit I don’t regret any of them.
Well, there was one
I started reading a sample but it wasn’t the sort of book that I like to read. So, I didn’t get the full version. The fact that it turned into a well-known, successful movie is irrelevant. It wasn’t for me. I don’t regret reading some of the sample, and I don’t regret not reading the rest.
The reality is that most of the time, reading the blurb on the back cover will tell you if you’re going to like the book or not. Went would you read something that isn’t your style? Weird.
But what did you learn?
The other aspect of this is what we learn. There’s something to learn from anything you read.
For example, with the sample that I mentioned earlier I learned that I didn’t want to read that book.
It’s also true to say that we often have to read material that we wouldn’t normally choose to. School is a good example of this. We may, far example, not like history. But we read the material even if it’s just to pass the exams. And yet we then refet to that material throughout our lives, in various ways, even if it’s just helping our own children.
No reading regrets
So, do I regret reading any books? No, not at all. They all have something to teach us. We just have to find out what that lesson is.
