Some people hurt others on purpose. And if you react or ask why, they turn around and say, “Focus on yourself.”
What I said:
Focus on yourself.
Stop hurting others for no reason.
Don’t go out of your way to damage someone who never meant you harm.
What they’re saying:
We will hurt you. If you react or ask why we are hurting you, we will say “Focus on Yourself”

@elonmusk has $342B.
Mark Zuckerberg has 216B.
Jeff Bezos has $215B.
Larry Ellison has $192B.
I keep asking myself—what kind of work earns that much?

And here I am, just asking for $60K. Just enough to live with dignity, pay rent, buy groceries, and do the work I love—building great software or scientific research with all my heart and skill.

1. I’ve seen some people stalking me or trying to create problems—and I’ve never understood why.
Why do some people think they can only be happy if someone else is sad? We’re all just trying to survive.
2.
Most people are working hard just to pay rent, buy groceries, and take care of their families. Unless you’re a billionaire with government contracts, life is hard—and everyone’s doing their best.

Empathy isn’t clapping, smiling, or cheering with the crowd. It’s giving someone a job, a chance, food, or shelter. Kindness isn’t loud—it’s about making sure no one is stuck in a life we wouldn’t want for ourselves.
Empathy is giving someone a job when they need it.
Kindness is making sure someone has food, shelter, and dignity.
Compassion isn’t loud. It’s quiet, consistent, and real.

1. The Swing Inside the Boat (Constant Speed):
If the boat is moving at a constant speed in a straight line:
•The swing hangs straight down.
•If you sit on it and swing back and forth, it behaves just like on land.
•Why? Because everything inside the boat—air, you, the swing—is moving with the boat.
•From your perspective, it feels like you're not moving at all.
Physics at work:

Do interviewers frown upon the use of ChatGPT or Grok during interviews? If so, why? And if we aim to integrate AI with humans through technologies like Neuralink and Apple Glass to achieve superhuman intelligence, why is AI assistance frowned upon in interviews?

Companies should have access to a unified database where they can view a candidate’s single, comprehensive profile. Expecting job seekers to create countless resume versions for endless applications is inefficient and unsustainable. #Hiring #JobSearch
If companies can’t even streamline hiring without causing distress, what value do they truly bring to humanity? If they can’t find talent efficiently, why should they be funded? #Hiring #FutureOfWork

“If the justice (truth) is on your side, you don’t need a lawyer. If the justice (truth) is not on your side, even if you have a lawyer it’s only a waste of time”
This is what I said to someone in the courthouse parking lot today.
When I was driving home, I was saying this to myself and started to write this content in my mind.
As I was thinking about it, I realized that this is not true all the time. Because of access to the legal expertise, truth doesn’t matter some or most? of the time.
