The Advantages and Disadvantages of Minimalism

by Raymund Tamayo Possessions are always going to be a part of life. Everybody owns stuff, including you and I. Even extreme minimalists own a few things, albeit they are really quite minimal. The relationship of people and stuff is so complex that it can be ironic at times. Sometimes, the poorer a person is, the more stuff he appears to have. Why? Because the less income or money a person has, the more "just in case" feelings he caters. How about you? Examine yourself right now. Think about the quantity of your possessions versus its quality. Can you count it? Are you aware of everything you own? Do you have stuff that you don’t use but still cater in your life? How Minimalism Affects Life Minimalism affects life in a way that it eliminates everything that is unnecessary to make way for the necessary. It makes everything a favorite because a minimalist only keeps what is important and beautiful to him or her.

Project 333: Week 13 Update (Final Week)

by Raymund Tamayo I’ve reached the end of my Project 333 experiment and I barely noticed. My takeaways: I learned that 33 items of clothing (31 to be exact) are more than enough for me to live a happy life. Actually, it can be lesser if not for my day job which requires me to wear 5 sets of outfits every week. Even less if I discard my corporate jacket, black leather shoes, watch, and my rarely-used cream slacks. (Would have had only 19 things.)

Clothes don’t make me a better person. Choosing which clothes to wear in the morning shouldn’t be on top of my decision-making priorities. I now wear all my clothes and I like all my clothes. Unlike before where a few items here and there are just occupying precious closet space. Overall, it has been a wonderful experien

4 Lessons I Learned from Pacquiao’s Knockout

by Raymund Tamayo Source: http://ow.ly/fXXD6 It was a knockout for the ages. Not because of the way it was done, but because to whom it was done. You don’t get to see it very often. Manny Pacquiao kissing the canvass. Unconscious. Freaking unbelievable. It was a punch that sent a whole nation into deafening silence. Despite of the shock, we can learn some things on that knockout: The more you prepare, the more likely you will succeed. Some say that it’s just a “lucky punch” from Juan Manuel Marquez. I don’t believe in luck. Timing, yes. But luck? Marquez prepared himself for this fight from the moment Pacquiao-Marquez 3 ended. I’m a big, loyal fan of the PacMan – I still am! – but I can say that he got complacent about this fight, training only for 6 weeks and not being that focused. The result? He was careless and got hit by that counterpunch from Marquez that knocked him out. Having focus is very powe
