Although I agree It is might be hard to bring a better example of people who don´t act.

You’re a good deal Kat. You rendered ‘optimal load’ better than I. It’s simply contact, “points”. It’s not about getting it done, it’s about fillin’ in the graph. If you plow the field, seed the field, harvest the field, prosper because of the field and no one but you can say “stop”…you own the field.

What you say does have wide use. Kick out the chocks brother and act like you own the place…please.

Making the activity based around contact and enthusiasm does more ‘work’ than any human activity. And frees up the mind to do more. The contact doesn’t have to be physical. Every event generates a wave. Multiple waves from different points always have a center. That center is imploded through and everything twists around it. The virtual implosion force passes through the center + the twist and “inspires” more events. More contacts build more diverse resonance and expand the unity of the field. More things can grow. There is more being added into everything being grown. Quality and quantity don’t exist before contact. It’s just contacts, points. If you’re inspired you got it, if not, well go get it.

@アメド: I don’t suppose there are any sites with pictures of Chinese signs, are there? Does anyone on here know of anything like that? I’d do it myself if I was still in a part of the world that has signs written in Chinese.

This is so true, but I see so many people (albeit with good intentions) setting out an AJATT curriculum on sites such as the ‘reviewing the kanji’ forum.
I think it’s because people have this have this curriculum idea ingrained into their head with years of school- like you’ve said “no pain no gain” syndrome. For me, I use the idea “if it tastes bad, spit it out”.
I suppose it’s with anything though, get enough followers and the original text becomes the gospel, anyone that sways is a heathen sinner.

Keep up the great posts Khatz. You always have great points to make, it’s just that you’re your own worst critic lol.

It’s really helped me in making the constant choices, I always know what I want to do and it’s easy to weigh different results against each other. At the same time, I can mentally modify it all whenever I feel the need to.

Regarding resolutions, I got the exact same feeling at New Year’s when there was resolution talk going on. It’s just, if you only could see it how I see it you’d feel so helpless.

Actually, something I thought of regarding holidays in general; I’m happy when I want to. Christmas is special in many ways to me but I won’t claim that it’s “worth” more than any other days. It’s weird how most people let themselves be told that these days are extra important to their individual lives just because their culture happens to have been celebrating them for so long.

I’ll be sure to keep posting things weekly or in a few days. Gradually update+any advice(personal experience advice on kanji+sentences,etc,anything that can help people out)

Everything we do comes out differently and poorly when you compare it to its conceptual, higher-realm ideal. But that’s the joy of being human, isn’t it? Anything that is actually written down and distributed is *infinitely* better than even the most sublime conception, which is nice to daydream about but which does no one any good if it’s not channeled into something.

In all seriousness, this has really helped me get back on the horse, especially after having slipped on my SRS completely for the christmas period.

Keep it up Khatz!

Anyway, from a recovering perfectionist–thanks for the reminder.

I liked how this guy wrote almost everything in his SRS anki reviews+kanji. I gotta start doing that nowadays!

I think the point is you *shouldn’t* aim to make this year work out — that’s big and hard. Just do a little something today.

When it comes to new year resolutions, majority of the ones i’ve made in the past, well didn’t really happen at all lol. One should just go about doing there daily things without worrying much about there “main goal”. Because eventually doing the same process daily, will add up in the long run. And when you least expect it, you’ll hit the top and you’ll definitely be happy that you’ve reached the top.

The truth, this man speaks it.

You know, I had a really hard time when I tried to force myself to apply the “AJATT method” (sounds much more important and official than just “AJATT”) to my “studies” (sounds even more important). It eventually stopped being painful when I convinced myself that I don’t actually need to “study” anything (in part because I know I kick buttocks already) and decided to listen to some more cheesy Japanese 80s rock instead. Having fun is definitely where it’s at.
