MOJO
I bought MOJO in February 2010 and the book has been on my bookshelf since. Now, three years later, I started reading it.
I started reading it two nights ago. I instantly felt better about my work. My attitude toward my work has not always been positive and sometimes I get so frustrated with the people I work with, I tend to snap and be the opposite of awesome.
Why I Blog
“The reality is, I blog in order to clarify my thinking and archive my best ideas. In short, I blog for me. (But you are welcome to read along!)
It shouldn’t make any difference whether you have ten readers or one hundred thousand. [...] If you are writing, you are achieving greater clarity about your life, your work, and what matters most. That’s enough. And more than most people have.” —Michael Hyatt
Language Goals
I researched language fluency level and came across the Common European Framework of Reference. I reproduced the framework here so that I can come back to it in the future and gauge my fluency at any given time. My dream is, of course, to reach the “Mastery” (C2) level. However, to reach this stage I must be able to overcome what Seth Godin calls “The Dip” and in my opinion that starts at B2. Will I be able to surpass the challenge and not quit prematurely?
A Discovery of Witches
A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES by Deborah Harkness is a novel of magic, adventure and romance. Matthew Clairmont is an enigmatic vampire, a scientist, very intellectual, and although his initial interest is in an enchanted alchemical manuscript, now he can't seem to resist Diana Bishop, a young scholar and historian.
Diana is a powerful witch in denial of her own powers. And she is the one who could unlock the secrets of the ancient manuscript Matthew has his eyes on.
Quotes
“Before I met Matthew, there didn't seem to be room in my life for a single additional element—especially not something as significant as a fifteen-hundred-year-old vampire. But he'd slipped into unexplored, empty places when I wasn't looking.” —Deborah Harkness, author ”A Discovery of Witches”
