Life can suck. Really, the thing to ask is your
reaction to it and the decisions, initially, are made in a bad way,
first hope “Getting things right”, second; Commit and forget.
Be
careful of the entropy effect: your decisions impact the environment
right next to you. The High School, you might remember about it and that
place in the past with your teacher lecturing about entropy.
“How not to make bad decisions?” is not the right question but this is the one to consider “Why people make bad decisions?”
Answer:
I transitioned. From the programming nights to YouTube to Medium to the
multi-cultural internet and Google Translate. Now let me confess about
what I mentioned at the first place: The YouTube which goes the
following way…
2005 — Jawed Karim is the new-found startup founder of YouTube
2006 —The Google acquisition
2007–2011 Clickbaits! iJustine! PewDiePie! Vsauce!
2012–2016 YouTubeCrisis and the making of open Gangam Style. MinecraftRollerCoaster and Advertisement-dollars-flowing-on-YouTube.
2017 — Now:
The release of It’s Everyday Bro may take internet on a storm creating
Back and forth reactions between PewDiePie and Paul Brothers. Logan
dramatizes losing 15% of his testicles, shamelessly, declared his
Vlogging career to be over.
In
a pattern above, one thing is observable and that is everyone of these
make “bad” decisions and end up making good decisions on the other hand.
For Example I made a decision in 2015 to start a YouTube channel and my
friends and family thought it was crazy. Now in 2018 my mom asks, “How
many views did you garner this week?”. But the best thing about Internet
is that I got to meet some really really great people(and a little bit
of curse). I met Croatians, Russians, Germans and was vastly inspired by
their cultures. If you want to understand a culture from a new lens,
it’s best to learn their languages. So did I. Learnt German and suddenly
German gaming videos and football channels started making sense.
Afterwards, I chance upon a Croatian comment on a Logan Paul’s song and
then you might have guessed my decision… decided to give Croatian a go.
My
message to these “Croatians” and other multi-cultural people on YouTube
is that you guys inspire small humans like me and help me point out
where I’m wrong. It’s interesting how things evolve. Especially an
organization like YouTube that impacts a whopping 3.25 billion hours of
watch time every month. Internet moves and moves the world with it.
Small people like me benefit. And maybe learn a thing or two about
today’s heroes like Tim Ferriss, Kevin Hart etc. etc.
