What energizes you?

2089 sats \ 41 comments \ @birdeye21 14 Oct 2023 meta

Exploring. Both places and new ideas.

My mind needs exploration to thrive.

Is your current life energizing you? What’s working? What needs to change?

Solving interesting problems

What constitutes as an interesting problem for you?

132 sats \ 9 replies \ @WeAreAllSatoshi 14 Oct 2023

Usually it’s technical problems in my work. Things that I haven’t encountered before, problems I haven’t solved before, or problems that require me to learn new concepts

Had to look this up… lol

lol, I was committed to finding out what ikigai means without looking it up. I thought it was an acronym, so something like "I know, ..."

That's how far I've came. Then I read the comment below mentioning it's Japanese, lol

What really energizes me is when I know I am doing the right thing.

I know MBTI is a pseudoscience but I really swear by my personality: ENFP. So people who are ENFPs are creative people who are adept at connecting the dots between seemingly disparate disciplines and creating something unique as a result. I am no exception. So even though today is Saturday, I had a good time finding snatches of time to prepare for a sharing entitled “Leveraging ChatGPT in Teaching and Learning”. I enjoyed putting the pieces together from my diverse experiences - a survey I did here, responses from professional contacts I made there, a cultural anecdote from yet another place. I feel good knowing that I have come up with a sharing that no one else will be able to replicate. In fact, I blogged about my plan with respect to my sharing here: https://www.publish0x.com/diaperfinancingfund/leveraging-chatgpt-for-teaching-and-learning-xnkqkym

I also find that reading energises me. Yesterday afternoon, I intentionally took a digital detox to finish reading “The Secret Life of the Dyslexic Child”. Social media can be a time sink, so I’m glad I fed my mind intellectually with invaluable insights into the minds of people with dyslexia. Having more knowledge makes me feel empowered and confident!

As in encouraging people to host their nodes?

10 sats \ 0 replies \ @Ge 14 Oct 2023

By building I'm referring to creating a bitcoin club and a bitcoin identity your city can look to being able to deliver accurate information for people yes that intels running a node definitely have to take it 1 step at a time work your way up to that

Learning interesting things or coming up with unconventional/creative ways to solve problems.

21 sats \ 8 replies \ @cryotosensei 14 Oct 2023

What’s the most unconventional way you undertook to solve a problem?

31 sats \ 5 replies \ @Natalia 14 Oct 2023

It depends on the situation, but I'm happy to give you a real-life example:

What would you do if you were going somewhere urgently, and you brought a train ticket out of a rush and realized that you had brought the wrong one, and it was too late to change it, and no other transportation was available, but you need to be somewhere ASAP.

22 sats \ 4 replies \ @cryotosensei 14 Oct 2023

Find a random passenger with the ticket I want and beg him to swap his ticket for mine?

21 sats \ 3 replies \ @Natalia 14 Oct 2023

that could be a good solution but let's say no one want to change it with you, what to do? 🤓

Just board my preferred train n if the train conductor comes, I will just wing it n feign ignorance. Oops sorry I made a mistake

Then flash him/her my Bambi eyes

Actually, you should do the opposite: walk with confidence! Fear or panic would sold you out.

And when boarding the preferred train, ideally queues where more crowded or look for the ticket-checker who seemed more tired, because hey, they're also humans who are doing their job, making it easier for them!
