Especially, when you woke up at 7 while planning to do that at 5:30 \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seriously, I am sitting in front of the screen with hundreds of ideas and examples during 8 minutes, but cannot put it all together into something logical and valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From one side, I promised myself to post everyday, from another &#8211; I want it to be something interesting and valuable, so posting just to post doesn&#8217;t make sense for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230;Again we are talking statistics. It&#8217;s everywhere,   amazing. So, constancy. Remember talking with my friends about getting an appointment in the police office for the fingerprints. Here, in Barcelona, you have to do that online, &#8211; you reserve your appointment, prepare necessary documents and then come. Little clarification, it is quite difficult to do that &#8211;  when you submit your data it says: &#8220;For the moment we don&#8217;t have appointments available, the department will publish them soon&#8221;. ALMOST all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The word &#8216;almost&#8217; is capitalized, because it&#8217;s a key word. &#8216;Almost&#8217; means there is a chance. Some people get their appointments. So I can do that as well, can&#8217;t I?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back to the conversation with my friends. They would claim: &#8220;Oh, there is no any appointment, I am trying for so long&#8230; They just don&#8217;t open the new ones. And other people also trying and cannot get it. It&#8217;s being a month or something&#8230; &#8221; and so on. At the moment of conversation I didn&#8217;t face the problem yet and didn&#8217;t know how really difficult it is, so I was just nodding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday, I&#8217;ve got the appointment. After a week of trying. Week! not month. Of trying  8 to 10 (maybe even more) times per every fucking day. So if I were &#8220;trying&#8221; by doing it once a day, not even EVERY day &#8211; I would definitely say I haven&#8217;t fucking tried. We have to be honest with ourselves. Now I know &#8211; my friends haven&#8217;t tried enough. And don&#8217;t even bullshit me about the luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am becoming better  professional, because I learn constantly; I don&#8217;t have a girlfriend, because, repeating, I haven&#8217;t even tried.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, constancy should be smart. If you are working hard and don&#8217;t get results, you have to revise your strategy, &#8211; something might be wrong. As Einstein said: &#8220;Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.&#8221; It doesn&#8217;t work that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">\n\nPhoto by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/EAH3N7R-Ngs?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Alexis Antonio<\/a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have to admit, it is not that easy to write an article every day.
