Die Empty
November 12, 2026
Note: This is 100% written without AI, it’s all written by me. I just want to rant whatever is in my head. (Crazy I have to mention this in the year of big 2026 but here we are)
This is my favorite magic word. My guided principle.
It literally fires up my neuron activity and how I operate my life in general. It helps me get things done.
It helps me gain so much productivity and keeps me in a flow state knowing I have to get out of my mental localhost and actually ship what matters to myself or to other people I care about.
Well…, ironically, I have been delaying my personal blog publications for years just because my favorite teacher said long ago I have done a great job in life but my writing absolutely sucks ass.
I have delayed my action until now so I figured I will just start knowing I will make many flaws.
But that’s the beauty of it, humans make flaws.
Also, for example, a reason for that is because I have always been brainwashed by everyone that writing needs to sound majestic and written in an old elegant British IELTS 9.0-scored style because people will take you more seriously.
That's absolute bullshit.
My goal is to get people to understand what I am trying to say rather than how professional I sound.
Remove bullshit as much as possible.
Obliterate as many layers of BS as possible.
To die empty, this means you just have to
1.) Identify a new problem
2.) plan smartly and strategically on how to solve that problem
3.) go solve it.
4.) If stuck, repeat step 1.
In every step, always ask “how” instead of saying “I can’t”.
It shut down the brain from thinking about what to do next.
Again. Drill this to your brain. ASK “HOW” instead of SAYING “IT IS NOT POSSIBLE”.
If you’re stuck, then go into smaller subissue steps i just told you until it’s solved from those roots. You’re stuck because maybe the problem is too big and it just has to be broken down to the smaller branch. Embrace first principles thinking. It’s good. You also can’t be too stupid to rabbithole down to the atomic level of everything everytime though.
This is what I call Karma. It’s just a loop you can’t get out of until you solve that specific set of problems. Religiously I would say it’s the same thing (I am not religious btw).
People die having trillions of stuff they said they were going to do but they didn’t. All they did was just think and let all clusters of thoughts circulate in their mind without executing anything out.
It gives me anxiety everytime just thinking about it. I feel like you have to live in a house that has never been cleaned for decades and there are no ways you can move out because you have been living with it for your entire life and you must live with it until you sayonara to this world.
Ship everything you want to ship.
Paint anything you want to paint.
Write anything you want to communicate to the world.
Launch every app you have been thinking of building.
Get out of localhost.
Nothing matters until it’s out there.
There are infinite ways you can express your love to the world.
Steve Jobs’ love language was to build something wonderful and remove daily annoyances from people. He told his engineer that making the Mac start up 10 seconds faster for millions of users was like saving lives.
Even though he was perceived as a terrible human being by his coworkers, that was actually how he expressed love to another human being.
Our love languages are not the same. Be yourself and express it out. People are waiting to see the beauty of your self-expression. It’s also how to be alive.
To create is to be happy.
To create is to give.
To create is to help others.
To create is to get more friends.
To create is to generate value.
To create is to get rich.
To create is to be free.
This is my love language.
Some may mention how things need to be slowed down sometime. True, I am not arguing about that. For sure you need to pause once in a while and reflect. It's a very healthy thing to do.
Die Empty.
