Hey there! Welcome message.

Juan found this really cool website to generate music with Ai. It was developed by ex-Google Ai researchers.
Here is a Latin song I wrote with it.
And here are my favorite community songs: Your mom, Your computer has been hacked, Wheels on the bus.

Michael arrived in South Korea last week, together with Lina (follow his instagram to see what he’s up to if you don’t already), they’re getting to know all of the items sold in the convenience stores there.

He’ll be staying there for the next month or so while writing his thesis and working remotely. In order to push himself to actually put enough time into the thesis, he started a separate “Thesis Accountability Group”, if you’re also wanting to push yourself to working on this more, and wanting to spend at least 20 hours a week on it, reach out and you can be added in too💪.

Benefits of Being a Yes Man

In response to Juan’s post last week about the Art of Saying "No," I want to explore the other side of the coin. Sure, there are benefits to saying no and focusing your attention selectively, but it’s also crucial to be open to new experiences. Trying out different things helps you discover what truly matters to you.

Most of us have probably seen the movie "Yes Man," where Jim Carrey’s character, Carl, goes from rejecting every invitation and opportunity, to saying "yes" to absolutely everything. This shift radically transforms his life, opening him up to a world brimming with possibilities.

Experience More

First off, when you say yes, you end up doing more stuff. Simple as that. Carl tries out all sorts of things—like learning to fly, or playing music. Not everything’s going to be your new favorite hobby, but you’ll never know unless you try, right? Saying yes gets you out there, trying new things, and who knows what you’ll end up loving?

Face Discomfort

Next, saying yes pushes you to grow. New challenges mean you’ve got to learn and adapt. Maybe it’s a project at work that sounds tough or joining a sports league. Either way, you’re stretching your skills and comfort zone. Like Carl, you might find yourself doing better at work or just feeling more confident overall.

Meet New People

Finally, being open to saying yes can really help your social life. Carl meets all sorts of people he wouldn’t have if he’d stayed a “no man.” By saying yes to invites or new experiences, you meet new friends, and maybe even important contacts that can help you down the line.

So, while "Yes Man" is just a fun movie, the message is pretty solid. Saying yes more often can lead to new experiences, personal growth, and better connections. Sure, don’t go overboard and say yes to literally everything, but trying to be a bit more open could be a game changer. So all in all, balance these two perspectives, say ‘no’ in order to be able to focus more on the important things, but say ‘yes’ in order to experience more of the exciting diversity that life has to offer.

DATING

5 Questions to ask yourself if you’re unsure about your relationship

Once again I am here to make you question everything. Hopefully for the betterment of your life.

I came across a Reddit thread that posed some interesting questions to ask yourself about your current relationship.

1. If someone told you you’re a lot like your partner, would this be a compliment to you?

2. Are you truly fulfilled or just less lonely?

3. Are you able to be unapologetically yourself or do you feel the need to show up differently to please your partner?

4. Are you in love with who your partner is right now as a whole, or are you only in love with their potential\idea of them?

5. Would you want your future or imagined child to date someone like your partner?

A lot of people I’ve talked to start stuttering when you ask some of these questions. I do wish everyone eventually has someone that fulfils all these questions, and if not, be honest with yourself.

I know a guy whose first relationship was with a very toxic girl. We could all see she wasn't good for him, but he constantly told us how perfect she was, almost as if he was trying to convince himself more than us. A few challenging years later, he's now dating an amazing girl and couldn't be happier. Sometimes its hard to recognize the red flags in others or even ourselves.
