I don&rsquo;t, but I do make it a point to laugh at said problems as I deal with them.</p> <p>&lsquo;Laughing in the face of adversity&rsquo; is a somewhat common phrase that people would probably dismiss as another platitude, along with other phrases of the same tune, but I do like it.</p> <p>I&rsquo;m not at all telling you to go full on happy-go-lucky, no. It&rsquo;s just that&hellip;once you&rsquo;ve given up on something, that&rsquo;s effectively the end of the line. You&rsquo;ve locked yourself out. You&rsquo;ve sealed your fate by declaring to yourself, <em>&lsquo;There is no point, therefore I will stop.&rsquo;</em></p> https://ivy.my.id/soundsmart/ Wed, 10 Dec 2025 02:08:19 +0800 https://ivy.my.id/soundsmart/ <p>Somehow, my perception of blogs and blog posts has shifted to something along the lines of &lsquo;having something smart to say that will benefit anyone&rsquo;. Because of this, I&rsquo;ve written many things and scrapped them by the third sentence or so.</p> <p>Perhaps it&rsquo;s because I&rsquo;ve read too many of those SEO blog posts. It could also be that a portion of tech (and other) issues I&rsquo;ve faced have been solved by reading a post on someone&rsquo;s personal blog, written by someone much, <em>much</em> more competent than I am.</p>
