Why do similar things get different reactions?

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "So I think there's been a trending story recently of someone now identified as a British citizen who carved something for his girlfriend and things of this sort in the Roman Coliseum, and people are rightfully angry about that. And here we have two ancient Greek travelers whose graffitis have become popular, so to speak. Both of these, I suppose, are a way of someone letting the world know that they were there. A version of immortalizing their experience in a

Even the art that decries the absolute horror, which was civilizations and cultures being wide out. So share your thoughts. Very curious to know what you feel about something of this sort."

And how that is just so sad. Because with enough time passing, even people people become tools, memories or remnants of a person's existence becomes just a means to an end of sorts.

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "What learning languages did for me is it allowed me to immerse in multiple cultures around the world, specifically with cultures who accepted me as part of their own communities and taught me minor little intricacies of their culture in their language. The moment I learned someone's language, my identity as a Gujarati Indian woman blended into that of Japanese women based in Fukuoka, Japan. And something similar happened while learning Russian. Something similar

When you look at things with Hype, when you look at trending topics, when you look at the popular stuff and you just try to create that because if I react to the popular stuff, chances are I might be popular too."

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "It is just about putting two and two together. And to put two and two together, this content consumption notebook or digital notebook, it would be very helpful. What you need to do is, first of all, you need to have your full attention drawn to whatever it is you are consuming. If you are reading a book, pay attention to that. If you're watching a YouTube video, pay attention to that. If you're watching an Instagram reel, pay attention to that."

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "Why is human thought, action and execution as an execution of an idea put above one's humanity? Specifically, when it comes to any technology that is discussed in public, let me know. Also on to, like GPD Four and things of the sort, something Jaron mentions. And this book is old, right? It's not new. He mentions how did that search engine really know what you want? Or are you playing along, lowering your standards to make it seem clever? He's right."

Very recently, and this is not even a month ago, a 2007 year old son of my mother's friend. He passed away from a heart attack. And I did not know Rushl very well.

A lot of the initial blame was assigned to the agent but authors are now coming out and sharing the, I suppose, actual truth of this entire situation which somehow keeps repeating again and again wherein the agency gets greedy."

Authors dissing other authors - the classics edition

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "So check this article out and let me know what your thoughts are about this. My friend Jeff seems to think that the reason why popular authors kind of insult each other frequently is the tall poppy syndrome. The tall poppy syndrome is when you have someone who becomes popular too quickly, that's the tall poppy. The rest of the people who have been working hard and things of the sort, they look at the tall poppy and they are like undeserved victory, and they

Her books do that. Her books have similar, I would say patterns in terms of giving you quick paced information and then slowing down pace around something important and it is done so immaculately. I think it is more on the editor than on the

He had impostor syndrome. He had all of these things that we seem to think are modern artist problems, but then they are not. Then we have F. Scott Fitzgerald with, I would say, the kind of past that he did."

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "There's no point. However, I had two realizations while listening to the Swell. First, I have already voiced on failed's thing, which is with regards to audiobooks being a victim, I would say, of a similar phenomena where instead of actual voiceover artists, now we have influencers and celebrities who are being prioritized. The second thing I realized, which I didn't quite voice at that point, was the Hayao Miyazaki methodology, which was oddly very effective

By now, I at least have one page filled with names of books and then a lot of corresponding pages filled with what I thought about the books and things of this art, personal opinions. What would I have done differently or what did I really like about it? What did I not like about it?"

So I think this is why the Colin hoover phenomena kind of works, irrespective of everything logical, the emotional wins. And then there is that. What are your thoughts around this? Let me know."

Is being a full-time author sustainable?

Binati Sheth ·

2023/04/03

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "Why do authors have to do this when their books have sold millions of copies around the world? Well, the answer is simple it's because of how you get paid in publishing. With book publishing, you generally don't get a lot of money in the same goal, irrespective of how well or how badly your book is selling. What happens is there is a cycle that is agreed upon when you sign your author's agreement."

And I think that's a very good role model to have when it comes to writing a book of this sort because he's been practicing the thing for years. He's been walking the talk for years. And his network, I think, courtesy of the books, is written the talks he's given around the world and the kind of consultancy services he's provided across the board."

One problem that has no solution, no quick solution, is plagiarism. You will get plagiarized if you do something original. I want you to know this in advance, primarily because whenever plagiarism happens to people, they are caught like a deer in headlights."

Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth "And it does maybe restore your faith in humanity a little bit that people feel like they can justify fudging results just because more money would go towards charity. But what happens when you amplify this effect? This is where good ideas go awry. This is where utilitarianism becomes an oroboros or a snake that eats its own tail. Because the moment your outcome changes, so will your methodology."
