"Meta AI, What Is The Connection?"

It's day 97 of documenting 2025.

I took a walk yesterday.
As usual.
With my neighborhood friend.
I listened more than I talked and there were brief moments of silence....very brief.
Besides that, I paid Dora a visit.
I finally know where she lives and got to meet her mum and grandma.
I can tell she was very happy to see me....I was happy to see her too.

By the way, if you don't know who Dora is, she's a friend of mine from the tutorial center.
She talked less and was shy until I started talking to her.
To read the story of how we first met, head to the main website, Documenting 2025.
Then search for "Dora". Post titles containing her name will show up.
The particular one where I first talked to her is called, "Courage....And Meeting Dora".

I played an unusual game with Meta AI.
It just started with me saying,
"Let's play a game"
Some people may think I'm lonely and to make up for it, I chat with AI.
Far from it...I just like to experiment, as an AI prompt enthusiast.
So, our chat went like this:

Me : Let's play a game called, "What is the connection?"
I tell you two different things and you tell me the connection between them to the best of your knowledge.
In this game, only I ask the question. All you do is tell me how they're connected according to what you know.
Do you understand?

Meta AI: You're going to present two different things, and I'll do my best to identify the connection between them based on my knowledge.
I'll keep my response focused on explaining the connection, without asking questions or seeking clarification.
Sounds like a great game! I'm ready when you are. What's the first pair of things you'd like me to connect?

Me : Texting first in a chat and naivety

Meta AI: The connection between texting first in a chat and naivety is that initiating a conversation can sometimes be seen as a vulnerable or open-ended move, which may be associated with a degree of naivety.

When you text first, you're putting yourself out there and taking a risk that the other person might not respond or might not be interested in chatting.

This vulnerability can be linked to a sense of naivety, as you're being open and receptive to the other person's response, without knowing how they'll react.

Me : Okay, how about lack of motivation and classical music?

Meta AI: One possible connection between lack of motivation and classical music is that classical music is often associated with relaxation, calmness, and contemplation.

Listening to classical music can be a way to unwind and slow down, which might not be ideal for boosting motivation.

In fact, some research suggests that listening to calming music like classical can actually decrease motivation and energy levels, as it can promote a more relaxed state rather than an energized or driven one.

Me : Hmm....
How about coffee and getting aggressive?

Meta AI: A possible connection between coffee and getting aggressive is that caffeine, a key component of coffee, is a stimulant that can increase alertness and energy.

However, in some people, high levels of caffeine consumption can also lead to increased anxiety, jitteriness, and irritability, which may manifest as aggression.

This is because caffeine can affect the brain's neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and norepinephrine, which play a role in regulating emotions and impulse control.

Me : Good thing I don't take coffee ☕ 
How about a changed handwriting and personal transformation?

Meta AI: A possible connection between a change in handwriting and personal transformation is that handwriting is often seen as a reflection of a person's inner self, personality, and emotional state.

Some proponents of graphology, the study of handwriting analysis, suggest that changes in handwriting can indicate changes in a person's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, which can be a sign of personal transformation or growth.

For example, a person's handwriting may become more confident or expressive as they undergo a significant life change or personal development process.

Me : How about talking too loud and tendency of being easily manipulated?

Meta AI: A possible connection between talking too loud and being easily manipulated is that individuals who talk too loud may be trying to compensate for feelings of insecurity, vulnerability, or lack of confidence.

This overcompensation can sometimes be a trait of people who are more susceptible to manipulation, as they may be more eager to please or seek validation from others.

Additionally, loud talkers may be less likely to listen actively or consider alternative perspectives, which can make them more vulnerable to manipulation by others.

Me : Oh! I have a tricky one!
How about a like for the French language and identifying as a hopeless romantic?

Meta AI: A possible connection between a like for the French language and identifying as a hopeless romantic is that French is often culturally associated with romance, love, and emotional expression.

The language itself is known for its melodic sound, poetic flair, and rich literary history, which may evoke feelings of nostalgia, passion, and sentimentality.

As a result, people who appreciate the French language may be drawn to its romantic connotations, which could resonate with individuals who identify as hopeless romantics. This connection may be more about cultural associations and emotional resonance rather than a direct causal link.

That was the chat.
I asked a few more questions and learned that a hopeless romantic is a more eccentric version of a romantic.
New knowledge stored ✅
It's time for highlights now.

Today's quotes are quite short, and I got some points to share from another book called "Grit"written by Martin Meadows, the author of the current one I'm reading.
Which is.....

365 Days With Self-discipline
📌 On Treating Yourself Well

"Nearly every human action is in some way an expression of how we think about ourselves."
Quote by Gordon Livingston

"If nearly every action of yours is an expression of how you think about
yourself, what do your actions say about how you see yourself?"

"Consider your actions and ask yourself what they express. Do you treat yourself well or are most of your actions things you would never do to a dear friend of yours?"

For me, my actions say,
"I'm not perfect in every way, but I always try my best to stay happy and build something that will last"
What about you?
Think deeply about this before giving a reply to yourself.

Grit
📌 First Chapter Recap

1. The dip is the moment when you experience little reward and lack motivation to keep going.
The longer you persevere during this phase, the closer you are to success.
Everybody experiences the dip when working on something worthwhile. There’s no workaround.

2. The sunk cost fallacy can make you keep going when it’s better to give up. If your sole motivation to stick to your goals is to not lose what you’ve already invested, you might be better off giving up.

3. If you’re not willing to do your best but expect extraordinary results, give up now.
It’s a waste of time to be mediocre while you could work on something you’re great at.

4. If you no longer have the passion for your goal, give up. Don’t mistake short-term discouragement with lack of enthusiasm, though.
If you’ve been working on your goals for several weeks with little to no enjoyment, it’s probably no longer the right goal for you. 

Nuggets of wisdom 💯
I think I should stick with this book.
I've read it before...but I'll read it again.
For now, I'll just be sharing the summary at the end of each chapter.

Happy Monday by the way.
I hope you have a great week ahead.
Thanks for reading, my friend 🎀
I appreciate you stopping by.

I'm Duon Ada
I'm documenting 2025.
And I'll see you tomorrow
Ciao 💕
