    • Uncategorized
    • Tigran Arzumanov

    Feeling good vs feeling bad… the fundamental equation of our lives. Seems like a no-brainer. Feeling good is better than feeling bad. Because good is better than bad. See what kind of complicated word-play I used to prove my very sophisticated point? 😉 So we need to avoid feeling bad and try to feel good […]

    • Tigran Arzumanov

    Inevitability of Change Our life revolves around change. We have changes in our work, relationships, family. New presidents get elected. New people come into our life. New bosses, new jobs. As they say, these days change is the only thing that’s constant. It is well accepted that the amount of change we see in our […]

    • Uncategorized
    • Tigran Arzumanov

This is a difficult article to write because it tackles the question each of us struggles with. The topic challenged my determination to keep the blog running like clockwork, and […]

    If you had a different past, it wouldn’t have been you

    • Uncategorized
    • Tigran Arzumanov

    I recently realized one very simple concept. Seems trivial in the hindsight, but it changed my life. We are often told not to spend our time re-living our past mistakes and problems. Yet we all do it. What if? What if I bought bitcoins when they just became available? Chose a different school? Was born […]

    Stop surviving, start living

    • Uncategorized
    • Tigran Arzumanov

    Nature designed us to survive. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be here. We inherit the traits that allowed our ancestors to eat and not be eaten. My theory is that any trait that seems illogical and out of place is there because of the need to survive. Can’t stop eating? Very useful if this is your last […]

    Did you miss me? I am back!

    • Uncategorized
    • Tigran Arzumanov

    My dear readers, I have tortured you enough. Through the time of my radio silence, I came to one conclusion as far as my website content goes. It makes no sense to spend a long time to come up with an article. If an idea is not put on paper (or online) within a week […]

    The only thing you need to know to truly quit smoking

    • Uncategorized
    • Tigran Arzumanov

    I used to be a smoker. Luckily quite a few people can say that today. Smoking seems to have become a lot less cool. Which is good news for millions of people who will be able to enjoy their lungs beyond their 20s and 30s. I haven’t “really” smoked since 2009. As in I would […]
