The Story
Have you ever been preparing for a clash, be it intellectual, verbal, physical, only to realize nobody is interested in fighting with you, or worse — nobody even showed up?

You are about to learn something new.
I know that article on famous quotes should be nothing but a list with the brief introduction, but I wanted to leave you with bit more insights.
Last summer I had to drive to Linz, small town in northern Austria. I didn’t use the ride-recording app I downloaded though. Why? Because recording your ride is illegal in Austria and, when caught, can cost you around 10.000 euro.
How did I learn about that?
I know how you picture it:
You achieve your goal. The last drop of sweat crawls from your forehead down to your nose. The warm, summer, setting sun turns the landscape around you gold and red, so that your achieved goal gets its cliche epic background.
But it is also possible, that, upon achieving your goal, all you’ll have to say is “meh”.
Early 2017 I decided to nail it down this time, and to my surprise, first 3 weeks of January happened not to be as productive as I expected.
So I started to look for the tricks, ideas, advice, inspirations and tools that would help me stay more organised. Ended up on YouTube.
While majority of blogs I had a pleasure to read, elaborate on how to “avoid”, “overcome” or “handle” the failure, I’d like to suggest that we erase that word from our vocabularies.
Have you ever had that one simple question on the back of your head, when someone was telling you what you should do, or how you should do it? The “Yeah, but Why?” question? The same you eventually didn’t ask?
You probably should have asked. Really.
