I don’t care who you are and what you think about me! You have no right to judge me! Now that I got your attention, does that really make sense? Does it? Because the reality is people are going to be judge you whether you like it or not. People have already formed an opinion about you the first 10 seconds you walked in a room. You cannot stop it not can you change it Should you care? Absolutely! Why should you care what people think about you? Well, unless you want to live under a rock alone for the rest of your life, unless you want it stay in the same position, the same life status then yes it does matter. Is it right for people to judge? No! Are they going to? Absolutely! You can buck the system of life and say you don’t care and remain the same or get passed by. But my question is this before you decide you don’t care what people think, are you where you want to be in life? Do you have everything you ever wanted or need? Do you not want the best prices on something, a discount , or maybe want to upgrade ? If you do then you better re think about your stance on not caring. Because every where you go people are going to look at you and judge you. And if they knew you previously, especially if you were the best person then, you better want them to see the new you and not who you were. People, if you want to get ahead in life if you want them best for you and your family then you need to understand this, people are going to judge you so you might as well give them the best version of you that you can. Whether its for that promotion, the job you wanted , the new house, or that new car, maybe that person you been getting all tongue tied over, you better wise up and do a little self evaluation and some self house keeping from within first them the outside of you. If they are going to judge and talk about you then give them something positive to talk about.

So, as mentioned in a post I made a few weeks ago, I was hell bent on spending my 2025 Yuletide season (November 30th - December 25th) reading as many books as possible and I'm pleased to report that the total amount of books I read was 6. 1. Savile Row - James Sherwood (10/10: Read in April this year) 2. In Our Time and other Stories - Ernest Hemingway (9/10) 3. Killer in the Rain and other Stories - Raymond Chandler (10/10) 4. A Christmas Carol - Charles Dickens (11/10) 5. The Old Man and the Sea - Ernest Hemingway (12/10) 6. A Farewell to Arms - Ernest Hemingway (12/10) 7. Bushido: The Soul of Japan - Inazō Nitobe (12/10) Ernest Hemingway has become my favourite author of all time and Raymond Chandler my second favourite author of all time respectively. It feels good to be back reading on a regular basis. I have about 5-6 Hemingway books, 1 Raymond Chandler book and possibly 1-2 philosophy books lined up ready to read in 2026.
