Avocado, nuts, chocolate, eggs!

Open our phone, unconsciously or consciously.
That is what I've done each day.
For somehow I realized, that change is needed to better me.
Of course, for some, it may be a bad habit. I do feel so because it makes me immersed and waste the first 3 hours of my day.
If you do feel so, drinking a cup of coffee after taking a small yoga session may help! Plus, open your favorite music and read a lovely book :)
Hmm, I'm curious... what do you always do every morning? do you enjoy it? write it down ;)

It may be daily, twice a week, or maybe once a week. It depends on you! There is no set time on when you should write. Only you could determine how much is the best for you. Though the answer depends, you could try to do it once a week if you are new. Don't put on the pressure, just relax and write it down. What is important is not on the interval time you write, but on your purpose and the benefits from writing it. So relax, cause you have all the time.

It is now a surprise to know Albert Einstein does write journals, especially scientific journals. But it does not mean Einstein only write scientific things. In his lifetime, he did create different types of journals for different purposes. One is for scientific research, for life, for travel to one country, and many more. The purpose of writing journals for him is to expand himself, to explore something new, note it so he could remember it, and to play and have fun.
That is why you should do write journals too. Don't need it to be a masterpiece and invent a new theory, just a simple one that helps you discover new meaning. Perhaps discover who you truly are.

In the modern world, there are abundant productivity tools. From digital side like G-calendar to traditional tools like a diary, sticker, and many more. Using all the tools may not be wise if they pull you back. Instead of trying to monetize every tool, and hope you could be a super productive human and accomplish something grand. Focus on using one tool, and focus on one steady step. What is more important is the foundation quality. After you got used to one tool, and feel you need more to accommodate your work life or daily life, then try to add one at a time. Soon you'll find your balance. Hope this helps~

I do it, just, a bit... 😆

Telling what you feel with words is great,
but the best is with action.
I had a conversation with a stranger a few days ago, let's assume her gender is female (consider the choice of words and the 'feel' that comes from her sentence). She said she missed her dad, and I said why don't you meet him. I was thinking that the best way to cease your longing is by taking action, calling him, or meeting with him. But turn out he is in heaven. I hope when you read this, you have a way to express your feelings. Poetry may be the way or maybe others way like writing, helping others, and etc.
I believe, he must be proud of you!

Ps: Don't forget to spread happiness :)

Thomas Edison is known as the inventor of the light bulb and one of the greatest thought history. He did write journals and dairy. But for the dairy, he only wrote for one short period, in July 1885. The diary records his feelings and observations towards art, literature, religion, along with his dreams, his health, and his feelings towards his future wife, Mina Miller. For the journals, T A Edison uses it to keep track of his work and to record some occasions, including failures, to learn and re-learn from it.
Edison once said, If we did all the things we are capable of, we would literally astound ourselves. The reason why you should write your journals is not only to track your progress and learn from your past mistake. But also to know what the current you truly capable, and what you should do to improve on it.

Almost everyone on earth is literate enough. Writing has been used even more than in the past. From online messaging to chatting with others. From Dairy to a research paper, to novel, and so on. Modern writing often summarized the information, since the world is changing and people demand something to be more 'instant', so does it be. Modern writing also considered to be more data-oriented, just like this writing you read, is based on research on the article, blog, and many more. Even if typing becomes so popular, writing on a digital device is still in favor of many people. Some may say writing on paper/traditional ways is more amusing, but in the end, it is all about preference.

The first Modern Papermaker Machine.

06/01/2022

The answer is A.

The first paper invented is known from China by Cai Lun, made by using scraps of old rags, tree bark, and fishing nets in AD 105. At first, it become an exclusive property only for China before being brought to Japan by Buddhist Monk Dam Jing and not long after become a precious material used for the upper-class society only.
Arab discover the paper-making process in AD 751 with the help of Chinese papermakers who were captured at that time. At this time too, Egypt and North Africa began using paper makes with the same technique found in the Arab World. Arab conquest in Sicily and Spain in the 11th Century introduce the paper to Europe.
In Europe, paper still is considered an inferior material compared to parchment. The other reasons were the paper material, rice starch was delicious food for insects, which means it will be difficult to keep the paper, and the material to make it. Until the new papermaking technique that was founded by the papermakers in Fabriano in the 12th Century. After that time, the papermaking technique is being improved. Only after the Industrialized era in the 19th Century, paper could be produced at a very fast rate and used as a medium to tell information, newspaper, and become a cheap mass product.

Through history, we can know the tale of the invention of writings. Most of the writing systems are inspired by the predecessors like the Latin alphabet was inspired by the Greek alphabet, was inspired by Phoenician abjad, and so on. There are many agents who spread the systems, from missionaries to traders. Traders have always been one of the agents that spread almost everything. Culture, religions, information, etc. It is not surprising to learn that ancient traders also become one of the agents. Even though traders spread the writing system. There 3 writing systems that were developed independently. it was Sumerian Cuneiform from Mesopotamian, Chinese characters from China, and Mayan glyph in Mesoamerica. There may be even other undiscovered independent writing systems! But for now, that's all we know.

The Top Left picture is the Mesopotamia writing system. Appeared almost 5,500 Years ago, using cuneiform.
The top right picture is the Egyptian writing system. The Phonetic writing system in Egypt dates to about 3250 BC.
The Bottom Left is the China writing system. It was a logographic system, the origin is not known but can be traced from the late Shang dynasty at 1300-1500 BC.
The Bottom Right is the Mesoamerica writing system. widely known as the classic Mayan script, runs from southern Mexico to Costa Rica near 900 BC.

Considering human nature is pragmatic. At_Us consider that writing in ancient times may be for two purposes, controlling and tracking. Starts from controlling and tracking how much grains are stored, how long it could last, until to control for a massive building project. Counting how many slaves it needs to build the pyramids and tracking the progression of it. Tool of power in short.
Indeed communication to both Humans and God(s) may also be the purpose of ancient writing. But it is hard to see the likelihood that writing emerges for such a reason. The reason is that even without writing, ancient people did not have any communication difficulties, even they were able to pass down stories and teaching without the need of it. Second, for the God(s) or praying purposes. Which one emerges first, prayer to ancestors, etc, or writing? The first doesn't it? Indeed writing revolutionized human interaction and communication, but it did not mean that it is the reason for the creation of the writing system.
Rather than that, the urge for power seems more practical and realistic. From power to secure their life in the winter, counting the supply of grains, or taxes, even for documenting something important, and many else. It is all not focused on improving communication, but to gain more power, at least to survive.
Of course, there are lots of possibilities, to explain what is the purpose of writing in ancient times. But at least for now, it is better to do write something useful, like journals! To keep yourself on track.

Thank you for reading!
