5. The Art of Being Stupid

I love being stupid. I used to look down on stupid person, but now they are someone I look up to!

I actually hate the word stupid. It is much better if we replace it with ignorance.

Every “stupid” person you meet is smart. They just has small capacity to handle the uncomfortable feeling dealing with large information.

Every smart person I know think even though they know it is uncomfortable. The reason why I scored higher than my peers in exam is because I spent lot of time thinking.

Smart person think , stupid person do otherwise, cause they can’t handle the uncomfortable feeling

The reason why I love being ignorance/stupid is because it save me lot from mental illness

Now, I have spent half of my life thinking in school. If there is new topic, I would spent time to think about the concept carefully.

I always go deeper into subject. I dont like superficial way of remember facts. Thinking is mostly I do.

and because it is my default mode, I tried to apply the same way when dealing with life.

As a result, I become extremly anxious and paralyze by my analysis. Life is just too complex. Trying out to map out all variable is like trying to find all possibilites that could happened in all mutliverse!

No wonder why many smart people have mental disorder!

so I decided to play stupid. Not to think much about it. It a skill everyone should have. Too stupid and your life is miserable. so you need to balance it out.

Ignorance is a bliss. When i become ignorance, I become less afraid of doing things

I didnt overthink. Im not stressing out of how things will unfold. I didnt chase perfection. I plan with 70% certainty and execute.

Just as I typing this, I forgot that this is a boxing diary lol.

Being stupid help me in boxing too. I didnt overthink my punch, I didnt overthink what my opponent will throw.

I just follow and execute my will. Get info and adjust accordingly. Execution is a way to get info and adapt. Cause in boxing the stack is high. Be slow and you get punished.

This is a new concept I just learned recently. Like a few weeks ago. As i go through my life with this mindset, I have seen improvement in my life. Less worry, less stress to think about.

But lets not glorify stupidness and just see it as a tool
