What is interesting about life decisions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are some life paths which are very difficult but not very risky (becoming a doctor), whereas there are other life paths which are both difficult AND risky (entrepreneurship). <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps the best way to extract the maximum from existence \u00e2\u20ac\u201d strive to pursue and obtain both difficult AND risky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Why risky?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Generally when things are risky, we got skin in the game. Risky things tend to be more interesting. Why? Because there is a real downside if you fuck up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Much of life is difficult, but not risky. If you decide to become a full-time Uber driver, your work is insanely hard, but not risky. Perhaps if we want to maximize ourselves, we need BOTH extremes of risk and difficulty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Difficult and scary <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Another reason I prefer powerlifting \u00e2\u20ac\u201d it is both difficult and scary. Bodybuilding is insanely difficult, but not so scary. Whenever I am attempting a new PR in my deadlift, squat, etc \u00e2\u20ac\u201d I have a bit of fright. But to grind out another (lower weight) repetition (bodybuilding style) is more about willpower, not fear-conquering power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another plus for street photography <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Street photography is insanely risky and scary to most people. Perhaps this is what makes it more fun and interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To shoot landscape photos at 4am in the morning is insanely hard, but not risky (unless you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re shooting from a helicopter or something). Same goes with most types of photography and art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you desire to extract the maximum from photography, learn to LOVE risk taking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
