Goal of the day: 226 words<\/a>. Written: 708<\/b>.<\/p>\n I am being interviewed by a friend who wished to remain anonymous. <\/span><\/p>\n Here's how our conversation went:<\/p>\n * * *<\/p>\n Hello, I'm Daniel and I'm a genius world ruler.<\/p>\n *costel*<\/p>\n Okay, no kidding. I won't say that I don't like to talk about myself, because I'm not a hopeless liar. I'd better start by saying that I'm (still) a young writer and a fanatic about crazy challenges.<\/p>\n For more than five years I have been writing a Lithuanian self-development blog about challenges, their pursuit and the way to a happier and simpler life. Some Internet visitors (Yes, I'm looking you in the eye, Clouds) have already heard of this website - Debesyla.lt<\/a>.<\/p>\n One of my biggest dreams is to help people achieve their crazy goals with tried and true methods. Oh, and of course, making a million bucks from writing and buying a truckload of caramel ice cream. Or thousands of cups of hot chocolate. Would love that too.<\/p>\n *Sucks hot chocolate.*<\/p>\n Perhaps more than anything, I value my ability to write... And to know that my writing, under thunderstorms, helps! Five years ago, I wrote the science fiction encyclopedia The World.<\/a> Not a book, but an encyclopedia.<\/p>\n ...Unfortunately, there were no people who would be helped, inspired or otherwise moved by it, even after two years of work. That's when I realized that perhaps more important than anything else is not only to create, but also to look at KAM kuri. Not why, but WHY<\/strong>.<\/strong> Who do you dedicate your works to? For example, the most beautiful love letters are born when writing to people you (fall in) love with.<\/a><\/p>\n When I started writing Debesylas, I tested my then newly born theory and tried to write not for myself, but for the readers. I answered their questions, solved their problems...<\/p>\n And it worked! I quickly noticed that the number of subscriptions in Debesyla was increasing even without threatening people I met on the street with a knife, and the positive reviews also started to increase slowly.<\/p>\n It gave my work a new meaning, a new dimension. And it probably shouldn't be something unexpected, but I still do it. Practically every article comes out inspired by one or another reader's question, almost every one of my crazy challenges is accepted after listening to readers' opinions.<\/p>\n That would be probably the most tangible thing I value. I appreciate many other, less tangible values like the ability to love, the ability to hate, openness and more, but if I had started naming them for her, I guess my response would have been similar to that of a twelve-year-old girl who does nothing during the day but copy Paulo Coelho's thought on love. And who would willingly do that?<\/p>\n Answer: Angry comments after this interview (or Debesyla's articles), what an ignorant fool I am. Please don't write this, because if I have to read even one comment like this in my life, I will probably jump out the window! Straight into the snow where the badgers are hiding.<\/p>\n \u2026Okay, just kidding. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n I really don't even know exactly what I'm afraid of. Every time I open up, I start to fear that I will start to look unreliable and weak in the eyes of some people. However, it is easier to overcome this fear - if you are reading these words, it means that I have not deleted anything.<\/p>\n There is one thing I love to do more than anything else. And that is learning.<\/p>\n Maybe that's why I like challenges so much. That's how I like to write about complex topics and put tons of information into easy-to-use, concentrated packages of knowledge. It gets the brain moving, and the brain is the strongest part of my body.<\/p>\n I like to learn from everything possible. And also to doubt everything possible. That's why I like it so much Brain Pickings<\/a> and Wait But Why<\/a>\u00a0blogs - This is where I recharge my brain!<\/p>\n Of course, maybe sometimes I learn too much, and I do and use what I learn too little, but god - don't tell me what to do. Or pala, tell me - maybe I'll learn.<\/p>\n For everyone?<\/p>\n *Thinks for a moment.*<\/p>\n Ladies and gentlemen, I'm talking to you. Here's what I'll tell you: ...You can quickly drive and subscribe to Debesyl. <\/a>And then you nicely send your money to my bank account. okay?<\/p>\n P.S<\/strong>\u00a0A not-so-secret message: Anyway, I earn enough money from sales of his first book, The Lazy Manifesto<\/a>. But if you've ever wanted to say thank you for my work, hey, here's the place to do it. And I really like caramel and hot chocolate.<\/p>\n I would like to promote one rather interesting creative project in which a young physicist follows fairy tales for children about scientific phenomena<\/strong> and yes teaches the secrets of science.<\/strong><\/p>\nHow would you describe yourself: who are you, where are you going?<\/h3>\n
What things in the world do you value most?<\/h3>\n
What are you most afraid of?<\/h3>\n
What is your favorite activity?<\/h3>\n
What would you like to say to everyone?<\/h3>\n
What would you like to promote?<\/h3>\n
