Essay of the week

This week I spent lots of time pondering on a few things. There were no long shot conversations or something I can write long form about. I realised there were lots of small thoughts here and there that I could write and share about.

Feel free to screenshot them and share them on the internet. (tag me @pradologue)

A lyric from the song “My Eyes” by Travis Scott

I’ve been listening to My Eyes on repeat the whole week and one line from the song I can’t seem to forget.

“If I gave you a day in my life or a day in my eyes, don't blink”

He’s talking his life being so interesting and fast and also talking about the hardship he’s going through.

The line can be another way to say, “Walk a mile in my shoes and you’d know”.

I highly recommend listening to the song. Listen to it completely.

A copywriting tip by David Ogilvy

I don't know the rules of grammar… if you're trying to persuade people to do something, or buy something, it seems to me you should use their language, the language they use every day, the language in which they think.

Something the folks from small town are working towards.

We come from humble families, old houses and small towns with sad stories.
We are not hustling to impress or be in any competition with anyone.
We just want to change the storyline and fight the battles our parents never won.

A quote from “The Problem of Pain”

It is easier to say "My tooth is aching" than to say "My heart is broken." - C.S Lewis

Every new stage

Every new stage in life comes with a new set of questions, most humans don't like answering those questions but expect to achieve the desired results.
