For a long time, chess was a double-edged sword in my life. I have always loved the game for its depth and beauty, and I even have a rich history with Chinese chess. But over time, the passion was replaced by a deep frustration. My natural perfectionism turned every game into a battle, not just against my opponent, but against myself. A single blunder could ruin my entire mood, and winning a game with a mistake felt like a hollow victory. The mental exhaustion from trying to be perfect made me feel like the game was more of a chore than a pleasure. This struggle wasn't limited to the chessboard. I found myself applying the same suffocating standards to my life. I would spend a disproportionate amount of time on a single, difficult physics problem in an exam, only to run out of time for the easier ones, all because my pride couldn't accept an imperfect solution. The stress and frustration from this cycle were overwhelming, and I felt trapped by my own mind. The turning point cam...

Why We Should Rethink Watching Short Videos In today’s digital age, short videos have become an omnipresent form of entertainment. Platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts have made it easier than ever to consume bite-sized content. While short videos can be fun and engaging, there are several compelling reasons why we should reconsider how much time we spend watching them. 1. Impact on Attention Span Short videos, often lasting just 15-60 seconds, are designed to be quick, attention-grabbing, and addictive. The more we engage with this fast-paced content, the more we condition our brains to crave constant stimulation. This can lead to a reduced ability to focus on longer, more complex tasks, such as reading a book, engaging in deep thinking, or working on a meaningful project. Over time, our attention span shrinks, making it harder to stay engaged with anything that requires sustained focus. 2. Reduced Critical Thinking Short videos typically present information in a ...

Why Shouldn’t We Use Telegram? While Telegram is widely praised for its features like cloud-based storage, group chats, and customizable settings, there are valid concerns that might make some users reconsider its usage. Here are the key reasons why Telegram might not be the ideal choice for certain individuals or organizations: 1. Questionable Encryption Choices Telegram does not use end-to-end encryption (E2EE) by default for most chats. Instead, it relies on its proprietary MTProto encryption protocol, which has faced criticism from security experts for not being independently verified to the same extent as widely trusted encryption standards like Signal's protocols. For sensitive communications, this lack of default E2EE can leave chats vulnerable to interception. 2. Centralized Data Storage Telegram stores user data, including messages (unless encrypted in "Secret Chats"), on its servers. This centralized approach can make the platform an attractive target for hacker...

I update my blog less frequently, have less free time, and the quality of my blog content is still poor. For this reason, I will reflect for a long time and wait for the right time to start writing blogs again to provide readers with a better reading experience. It is very likely that there will be no updates for a long time, and I express my deep apologies for this.
