  • True story.

    I was given a chance to talk to a bunch of high schoolers about volunteering at volunteer healthcare clinic.

    Most highschoolers ignored me. They had no idea what healthcare is. They think it is free.

    They feel invincible, as expected.

    I stressed the importance of volunteering because there are many people are uninsured and underinsured.

    One highschooler made a snide comment, “Everyone has insurance. Our family have Medicaid. It is free.”

    I hope life will treat her kindly.






  • According to Atomic Habit, we tend to form a habit when there is a reward.

    First you you can’t wear jeans to work out. If people have to argue, then they have never worked out before.

    Then, reward. When you workout by yourself, then is almost no reward, no motivation. In the gym, you can see how for some people are and that motivate you.

    With no goal and no motivation, hiding in the basement/garage lifting some weights and wearing jeans, I doubt that person will work out much.
