3 things I've learnt from writing

First post of the year and I would like to start over with introductions and why I am here. 

My purpose of writing daily is to be a better writer. To share my thoughts. There's so much we can learn from one another. 

I read my past entries and threads on twitter. The same thoughts/words keep coming up. "Out of a 100 shitty posts, there'll be 2 or 3 really good ones" "Writing daily is key." "You can only analyse and learn from data when you have enough data".

Austin Kleon also mentioned not showing your breakfast but Show your work!

Here's a brief plan of how I intend to use this space. 

Everyday, I will write for 15 minutes or more. The goal is to be consistent so I form a habit of writing. I will publish the following day after I've written my post for the day. Thoughts that require more thinking will come out in a post on Sunday. 

Some learning points from my previous entries:

1. Summarising people's ideas that I like make the entries more personal.

2. When I forced myself to publish everyday, I found that I had to find something interesting to talk about. That kept me constantly looking out for new things to post.

3. Blogging is a great space to document what you have learnt. I re-learn while reading my old entries. 


I apologise for abandoning this space but I'm back and ready to start over and document my journey.

Have an amazing 2022! 


Love,

Brienne

I'm a billionaire

Was feeling a little poor after paying off two big ticket items. Went grocery shopping with my boyfriend and this is what we saw. Ahead of us in the queue was an old man. He held a white plastic bag with 2 packets of biscuits inside. He flicked the receipt as he waited in line. He was going to exchange the items. In the basket that he's now placed at the conveyor belt at the cashier was 3 loaves of bread. The cashier scanned the 3 loaves of bread. Isn't it 3 for $3.30? I saw the sign there 3 for $3.30. Cashier lady: No, that's not the sign for that one, the 3 for $3.30 is the small ones. Is it? But the sign there put 3 for $3.30. Next time you need to place one staff there to tell people which one is 3 for $3.30. Cashier lady: So you still want the bread? No, not 3 for $3.30 then never mind, he sighed as he pulled his trolley that was overflown with plastic bags of items which made his home and walked away. ): Our grocery items amounted to $36.65. I used a $10 Fairprice vou

2024 First post

You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle. - Steve Jobs' 2005 Stamford Commencement Address --- I'm enjoying where I am and what I do. I hope you find what you love in 2024. Don't settle. Happy 2024!

gratitude for today

/personal Feeling like you made it but you didn't. Still got to give it to myself for making the move. Making the move to quit on a job I was no longer growing in. Making a move to bring my parents for a trip. I'm sitting here in the living room of the home for tonight, an Airbnb we booked.  Bro and parents asleep in the room. I'm filled with immense gratitude we made it. We did it fam. We did.  To the 10 year old Brienne,  look! Zhe Zhe brought us overseas!  And bonus, with parents and bro! To the Bree a year ago, I'm proud of you.  You awesome little piece of shit, I'm so freaking proud of you. The world out there is your oyster Work hard, manifest abundance Go get it!
