Have clarity

22 May 2025

The main issue in life is not having clarity about what you want. Without clarity, you can’t focus on the things that matter.

Without focus, you will be distracted by countless things and the noise around you. These distractions will affect every decision you make. Over time, this can cause you to lose yourself and your dreams.

To achieve your dreams, you need laser-sharp focus. But focus begins with clarity. First, define what your dreams are. A simple way to start is by writing them down.

Create a clear, intentional list of what you want to achieve in life. Then, commit to focusing only on what truly matters.

Google AI Overview

18 May 2025

I don’t search for things as much as I used to. These days, I just go straight to ChatGPT. I don’t feel like Googling and clicking through multiple pages to find the best answer. I ask ChatGPT, and most of the time, the results are satisfying.

I’ve heard that traditional Google searches are declining. But now, they’ve introduced AI Overviews at the top of their results. I think it’s a good idea—because we get a quick summary of what we’re looking for, along with links to other websites. Yes, I think it’s a good move.

He thought tequila
gave him the most
sudden ignitions,
until he kissed her
for the first time.

Sticky footers

11 May 2025

To make a sticky footer in the Bootstrap you can use the below.

<body class="d-flex flex-column min-vh-100">
  <main class="flex-fill">
    <!-- Your page content here -->
  </main>

  <footer class="bg-dark text-white text-center py-2">
    <!-- Your footer content here -->
  </footer>
</body>

d-flex flex-column min-vh-100 on : makes the body fill the viewport and act like a vertical Flexbox container.
flex-fill on : makes the content area take up all available vertical space, pushing the footer down.
footer: stays at the bottom even with short content.

You can never die

11 May 2025

If a writer falls in love with you, you can never die. ― Mik Everett

You can reread the above quote to this: “If the person dear to you is an artist, you can never die.”

Yes, because they will carry you in their art pieces. If they are a writer, they will hide you between the lines of their favorite poems or stories. If they are a photographer, you will be in their photos forever. If they are a musician, they will blend you into the rhythm. If they are a painter, they will add you into the corners of their canvas. And the list goes on.

You will be forever engraved in their art, sometimes in plain sight, sometimes hidden. When others see the art, the artist will see you.
