New Position, Another Start
It's day 134 of documenting 2025.
Late post, but there's a reason.
(More like an excuse!)
I could've scheduled today's post...but I was already too tired to type it out.
So, I decided to go realtime.
This s probably going to be a Wednesday to remember.
I'm officially a teacher 🙂
As I type this, I'm in a class but there's no lesson going on.
I'm just observing all the students and trying to get the flow.
Man! It's a rowdy bunch.
I think I can handle them.
Today is the first day.
I didn't come early enough tho...
Or put on the proper footwear.
I'll adjust by tomorrow.
That's all about that.
More details in the next post.
For now, let's do the usual two sections.
365 Days With Self-discipline
📌 On Staying Congruent
"Immediately prescribe some character and form of conduct to yourself, which you may keep both alone and in company."
Quote by Epictetus
"If there exists a “hack” for quickly embracing self-discipline as a part of
your identity, it’s clearly communicating to everyone around you how important
this value is for you — and then taking actions that are congruent with that
decision."
"The key is to maintain that behavior both when you are around other people and also when you’re alone — we’re not talking about faking it in public.
The beautiful part is that when others associate you with a certain positive trait,
you’ll want to maintain it."
I can totally relate with this one.
Most people in my area know me a a respectful and composed girl.
There's nothing to maintain, because it's who I am.
"For example, if there’s a challenge in front of me and I know that my friend is thinking that I’m going to face it instead of quitting, I’ll face it (obviously only after I ensure that it’s relatively safe)."
Yeah, totally...
That's why I something tell my closest friend certain things.
I usually follow it to the letter...so I don't feel like I disappointed him.
I still remember when I had my first content writing gig.
I told my friends about it in excitement.
But as I got into the work, I got overwhelmed.
I wanted to quit.
But I didn't do so for the thought of disappointing people that believed in me.
It kept me going till the work was done.
"Then, when I’m alone dealing with a self-imposed challenge, I’ll be less likely to give up, too — after all, I don’t want to lose the respect I have for myself, and most certainly don’t want my friends to be disappointed in me upon learning that I’m a different person around them and a different person when I’m by myself."
I can totally relate with this.
It illustrated the experience I stated earlier.
At this point, would you say this can be a good "why" to accomplish a particular goal?
Blast From The Past
📌 You Know Beautiful Things?
I wrote this one the day after I reconnected with a friend of mine from school.
It was my closest friend, PK who gave her my contact and I was thrilled to meet her again.
Online tho...
We exchanged stories and pleasantries.
I found out that she's a nursing student and she engages in affiliate marketing.
Nice 🙂
Since then, we've been in contact with each other.
I also talked about how obsessed I was with Benson Boone's song, Beautiful Things.
It came out early this year...
Or so I think.
Well, that's the time I listened to the song and it's still a fave ❤️
Update: It's past 12pm and I'm still typing here....in the class.
I think I'm getting the hang of it.
It's after break time now...but before then, I taught Economics.
Man! It's not an easy task to control a rowdy bunch.
But I believe that with time, I'll be able to work effectively.
This makes me a student too.
I will learn the subject...and teach it to them.
That way, I comprehend all aspects of it.
(Feeling hopeful 😌)
Heads up!
Tomorrow's post will be scheduled....and probably an AI Series.
It depends on what I'm thinking or what happens next.
This is where I draw the curtains, my friend.
Thanks for reading 🎀
I don't think this post is as long as the yesterday's.
Doesn't matter...I added another day to my streak.
If you want to read yesterday's post...and catch up on the rest, visit Documenting 2025.
You can comment as well...and you can be anonymous.
I'll see you there 😉
I'm Duon Ada.
I'm documenting 2025.
And I'll see you tomorrow
Ciao 💕
