A quotation from Samuel Johnson

Even the acquisition of knowledge is often much facilitated by the advantages of society: he that never compares his notions with those of others, readily acquiesces in his first thoughts, and very seldom discovers the objections which may be raised against his opinions; he, therefore, often thinks himself in possession of truth, when he is only fondling an errour long since exploded. He that has neither companions nor rivals in his studies, will always applaud his own progress, and think highly of his performances, because he knows not that others have equalled or excelled him. And I am afraid it may be added, that the student who withdraws himself from the world, will soon feel that ardour extinguished which praise or emulation had enkindled, and take the advantage of secrecy to sleep, rather than to labour.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1754-01-19), The Adventurer, No. 126

Guidance can lead the way, but real progress begins when you take the step forward yourself. Keep showing up and keep learning. 🚪📚

A teacher opens the door, but you must enter by yourself.

I do not #run, but have been meaning for years to add some #anaerobic activity in my life...

A colleague of mine shared about his latest #running achievement (10Km).

I was tempted to share how he inspired me and to commit myself - with my team as witnesses (common psychologic trick)..

However, I decided to keep quiet - and to rely on pure #selfMotivation to drive myself to try running a bit.

My #selfDiscipline succeeded and this week I managed to #run twice - nearly a mile each time!

Gj me!

Push yourself because no one else is going to do it for you. I know you can do it!

I believe it is important to introduce this for a couple reasons. First, conditions will not improve for a long time. Second, symptoms may worsen into a true chronic illness, like digestive issues, CFS, anxiety or similar.

I'm Calling it "Terrestrial Syndrome".

Your effort matters — even when no one’s watching.
Keep showing up, keep pushing forward. You’re not doing it for applause, you’re doing it for purpose. 💯🔥

In other news: will try to run the Valencia Marathon 2025 as a tribute to my first marathon in 2015, 10 years ago in Berlin! When I was handsome, young and full of stamina. When I just moved to Berlin. and now 10 years later here in this shithole of town, i am a complete wreck! 😂!
