A turbo thought when it comes to media:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no such thing as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ media — rather, it is either stimulating or not-stimulating (boring).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Avoid snobby commentary on things. For example, SUICIDE SQUAD<\/a> was one of my favorite films of all time, even though it was given ‘bad reviews’ by ‘critics’. And what is a ‘critic’ anyways? Someone who has a passion for film-making or arts-creation, but lacks the courage or the skills to do so (note to self, only trust the commentary and criticism from fellow creators. For example only listen to film reviews from *OTHER* film makers). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the more recent INFINITE by Mark Wahlberg is quite good in my eyes (pumps you up, and love the physique and how buff Mark is). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lesson:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seek stimuli which pumps you up and gets you going (motivation), and ignore anything which bores you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
