Hi strangers, I wrote in English, mostly this concept , for me, kinda like more flow in English. My apologies. (u can translate by gg translate) 

Recently, I've had more opinions on certain stuff, those opinions I will call them as Theory. Since theory are not always right, we just accept it temporary and Theory can always be adjusted, added info, subtracted info or completely removed. In this post , I would like to introduce my idea, which I personally called  

Like me now, blessed with having both parents still alive , having a roof above my head, having food and clean water to eat and drink, … 

Blessing often get notice to us, once those blessing, which we usually take for granted, disappear. 

For me , I am quite good in English and Logical thinking, sorry for being a dick head for too much self- expression but I do believe we all do have all sorts of our own 'mind blessing', can be unique from one another. 

Let's see, me weeks in the past, used my blessing for hours and hours of streaming videos on youtube, simply for entertainment, memes, videos, Netflix mostly in English. 

The excuse I told to myself, I watch those videos so I can learn and practice English too. Yes , that is still true but is that a wasted of blessing since those are pure entertainment, which is good, but excessive entertainment in my case (hours daily) , in the past , I just called the waste of brain activity on too much self-entertain as 'waste of grey matter'.

Follow my past days, I read Edward Snowden's book called 'Permanent Record', in his story, after 11/9 terrorist attack on Two Tower, he wanted to help in protecting his country, he then realised, he had a quite good skill with computer , so he decided to use his talent (or his blessing I called) into goal of serving his country in cyber space (which can prevent several event similar to 11/9) . Times move on , until in he become a core member in CIA and NSA , he had climbed the corporation ladder, he served his corporation with idea of protect American turns out his corporation method of Mass Surveillance Program which violates the privacy rights of America people (and all Internet users , you and me). 

So once a again he used his blessing then as with high access to the NSA system and high knowledge, he collected the program detail and bravely published it to the people so that the world and especially US citizen can finally acknowledge what the Mass Surveillance Program actually is.  

So back to me and you , for me , I try to exercise my 'mind blessing' into more meaningful things : 

+ To serve my inner goals which require study (most documents in English). (instead let day pass day with zero goal in my mind, except to exist and pass enough grades in school subjects) 

+ Reading books in English. (for self-growth mindset, self-knowledge, instead watch vids on Youtube too much to entertain).  

My opinion on why books are worth more time spending than youtube and other entertainment (though youtube is a ok to watch but should spend much time on books too) 

Productivity video and self-growth vids can be good , but for me , few things lots of those vids have disadvantage compares to books.  

_First,  it lacks continuity since you step in a book , you can feel the author thoughts and breath , feeling and truly understand why they do, their struggle and their progress and their sacrifice to get the idea. This whole is what I called 'continuity'. Vids only show you the surface , perhaps shallow advice since it only takes 1-2 days to make and the creator maybe barely practice what they preach. Many things can sound good in theory , especially about human spirit and good habit, but in practice is another story. 

_Second, vids and self-help post, quite heavily be monetized on the product relate to those who share those advice or clickbait to get money from views, ads. The content in many vids, therefore, slowly decrease or just cheap, not practical advice, goal is money. I don't blame the youtube system, which you and me feeds the system's algorithm many times. The algorithm knows us better than we know ourselves.  (Kinda nostalgic some youtube content creator before monetization stuff: for me , kinda cringe stuff like Smosh or for some of you even Pink Guy right :) , well, Tech Tutorial Youtuber mostly so generous since their goal is mainly spread knowledge and build community, money is not the their puppet master to pull their string.)

_Thirdly, simply I feel changing in my thoughts and minds somehow magically better every time I read a book , which compares to past 2 months just school things and watch Youtube to pass days (even include self-improvement and peacefullness, …, still I shine a bit , dimly then still no change. So for me , book spark joy somehow. From book words, I am able to see the world's darkness and lightness at same time , but I am happy with the knowledge even knowledge burden (since include sadness) but I firmly believe spiderum people all share a love for books, which binds us , connects us. Beside, I am a hardly laugh out loud person but somehow read book , I can laugh like slightly maniac, maybe the so called 'intelligent' joke or geeky joke works for me. Not saying that i am intelligent, I am still a fool.

I felt that once I spend more strength into my 'mind blessing' by using it for greater good for myself, loved ones, unfortunate people rather than to entertain myself, I feel meaningful , slightly happy . Though sometime I still use those blessing into entertainment too, watching vids , but still , less than me in the past . Less time spending is the key . I actively spend more of my 'mind blessing' into things more matter: books are one of them.

So try to spend more energy of our 'mind blessing' into something more meaningful ourselves , less time on the self-entertainment. Thank you for reading my 'theory of blessing' . 

Like uncle Ben said to Peter Parker (spiderman) : "With great power comes great responsibility." 

Really commend the book 'Permanent Record' by Ed Snowden. Show you a very brave side a Tech geek in this era where coding can prevent so many bombs and wars. Though I think we all do owe Snowden a thanks for bravely protect our right to be privacy , though I wonder, is today , how much online privacy do we still have? 

Another book worth reading (still I haven't returned to finish it): 'How to think like a rocket scientist' by Ozan Varol. Change your mindset really. 

This post is purely all my opinions, so if you have different opinions, that's a ok, I would like to hear. 

Many grammatical and vocab errors , I do understand , hope it doesn't overshadow what idea I try to deliver to you.
