CURRENT MISSION

Figuring out how my way in life continues now that I finally finished my PhD!

ABOUT ME

I am quite friendly, calm, and easy going. I can be funny and have a good sense of humour after I grow more confident with someone. Also, I can be quite adventurous and am usually up for many things. At the same time I really like to enjoy the small plesures of life like reading a fantasy book in a cozy livingroom ;)

PHILOSOPHY

There are many things really,

-One's well-being is proportionately related to the degree to which one is connectd to reality.

-You have to learn to see not only with your eyes, but with your spirit as well.

When a person starts to learn, he is never clear about his objectives. His purpose is faulty; his intent is vague. He hopes for rewards that will never materialize, for he knows nothing of the hardships of learning.“He slowly begins to learn—bit by bit at first, then in big chunks. And his thoughts soon clash. What he learns is never what he pictured, or imagined, and so he begins to be afraid. Learning is never what one expects. Every step of learning is a new task, and the fear the man is experiencing begins to mount mercilessly, unyieldingly. His purpose becomes a battlefield.“And thus he has stumbled upon the first of his natural enemies: fear! A terrible enemy— treacherous, and difficult to overcome. It remains concealed at every turn of the way, prowling, waiting. And if the man, terrified in its presence, runs away, his enemy will have put an end to his quest.”“What will happen to the man if he runs away in fear?”“Nothing happens to him except that he will never learn. He will never become a man of knowledge. He will perhaps be a bully, or a harmless, scared man; at any rate, he will be a defeated man. His first enemy will have put an end to his cravings.”“And what can he do to overcome fear?”“The answer is very simple. He must not run away. He must defy his fear, and in spite of it he must take the next step in learning, and the next, and the next. He must be fully afraid, and yet he must not stop. That is the rule! And a moment will come when his first enemy retreats. The man begins to feel sure of himself. His intent becomes stronger. Learning is no longer a terrifying task.
Don Juan Matus
