At least, the millennial generation is known to practice and live by this unruly schedule, now more so than ever.\n\nBut setting aside all that go “by practice”, an underlying fact is that it’s the way we are wired. For some reason, even contrary to the quality of our mindset, we can effectively produce more during some parts of the day, and not feel much like it during others.\n\nFor example, if you are a writer, and hope to grind much of what you can in a short period of time, the best strategy to use will be to make it the same short period everyday.\n\n>That way you can get your mind used to what’s in the norm.\n\n**But what sets the “grinding hour” late in the night, or early in the morning?**\n\nSure enough, it can be influenced by the balance you have with your environment — the more time and energy you have to give for your day job, the more you are pressured into choosing a specific time period to set your other priorities.\n\nBut mostly, it is something **inherent **— you are either someone who is pretty active during nights, or days. If you are both, you are exceptional (although I’d advise you about nervous breakdowns). If you are neither, you are screwed. You also have to understand that “inherent” could mean that you are attracted to spending your late-night or early-morning grind for few activities more than others:\n\n_More so for writing an article than preparing for an exam. More so for reading a novel, watching a movie, swinging to music than doing something you may consider physically and psychologically overexerting._\n\n**But the important point is to have a consistent habit, and it doesn’t matter if you sleep late or rise early. You have to be able to harvest whatever you can from the “silence” that is usually characteristic of such odd times of the day.**\n\n>Research shows you become the most productive during times that you think are the best to work.\n\nWhatever you may hear from others is the best time of the day to be productive, it’s you who has to measure up to finding it convenient.\n\nFor instance, just because great people begin their day precisely at 3.30 in the morning doesn’t mean you have to too. If rising early doesn’t work for you, the best way to keep your output consistent is to have your own time.\n\nThere is nothing wrong with not being able to be as consistent during the day as you are during nights, and vice-versa.\n\nThe stereotype that we can work our best if we are able to sacrifice a bit of our sleep is partially true. What matters is having the same work-periods everyday so that you can work beyond any complacence of proficiency — because consistency then becomes a part of the complacence.\n\n**The fact that it happens to be late in the night — or early in the morning — is mere coincidence.**\n\n_**Originally published on Medium:**_  https://medium.com/@antorin/which-is-the-most-productive-time-to-work-late-night-vs-early-morning-5037ca9f7f89",

There are the ones who take command, and there are the ones who take orders. There are the ones who have passions, and there are the ones who just let themselves drift with the flow.\n\nSome acknowledge what’s in the norm, and a few others know enough to live on their own terms.\n\nBut here’s a problem with it, the society: It gives a hard time to anyone who doesn’t fit in.\n\nIt regurgitates its values, and anyone who doesn’t see it soon is going to be beaten.\n\nLike this guy who was fat. He wore glasses.\n\nHe was bullied all the time. He was strong-armed to do and listen to things he didn’t like.\n\n**He was the “nail”, and all of the society turned the hammer against him.**\n\nHe was spoken down to. He was talked ill of. He even received prank calls. It was like he was sort of permitted inside any friend-group just so he could be had for a while, and mad fun of.\n\nAnd when the society saw it fit, it gave me the hammer, too.\n\nBut I had to think.\n\nYes, I was tempted to use the hammer. Yes, I wanted to show everyone else I can use the hammer. And yes, he looked pretty much like the nail.\n\nEverybody wanted me to poke fun at him. To call him names. To humiliate him.\n\nThis is a moral crisis.\nAs Dante Alighieri put it,\n\n>The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.\n\nAnd that day I decided to be different. To treat that guy with as much respect as I would any of my friends. I wished to do a few good things in life, and start all that with just one act. I didn’t stop what all others were doing to him. I just dropped my hammer. He wasn’t my nail.\n\n**Is the society narcissistic?**\n\nPartly, yes.\n\nBut it’s because those in the society know what works for themselves. They know that by running their own pictures through Instagram, others can find out a way to be happy for themselves. That by telling the world how happy they are, other people can have hope to pursue similar paths and find some success for themselves.\n\n**Is the society obsessive?**\n\nPartly, yes.\n\nTo everything that gives the whole of society a collective contentment.\n\nTo anything that gives them chance to happy, and live life on their own terms.\n\nBut, I understood being narcissistic about the feelings I have, or being obsessive about my own beliefs about how things should be in life, does not give me the right to be sadistic.\nMaybe, after all, I am going to be given a dark place in hell. I was still maintaining my neutrality. He was still bullied.\n\nBut that day, I didn’t use my hammer — and I simply could have.\n\nBut I didn’t.\n\n>And, for me, that has made all the difference.\n\n_**Thanks for reading!

You have to do things your own way. It's *how* you do that matters more than *what* you do. It's about what you would like to say more than what others would like to hear. \n\n**Invest in your path:** Surround yourself with people who will give you a hand when things fall short. Be generous enough to give your best work for free. Do anything that might help lubricate your process towards what you consider your success. Climb publication after publication, and call it an investment.\n\n**Invest in the lessons you learned from your mistakes:** Mistakes help you find a new track.

For some reason, even contrary to the quality of our mindset, we can effectively produce more during some parts of the day, and not feel much like it during others.\n\n**In his book, “On Writing”, Stephen King instructs writers to write during the same times of the day, everyday.**\n\nThat way you can get your mind used to what's in the norm.\n\nAnd it definitely is something inherent — you are either someone who is pretty active during nights, or days. If you are both, you are exceptional. If you are neither, you are screwed.\n\nThe point is to have a consistent habit, and it doesn't matter if you sleep late or rise early. **You have to be able to harvest whatever you can from the “silence” that is usually characteristic of such odd times of the day.**\n\nResearch shows you become the most productive during times that you think are the best to work.\n\nFor instance, just because great people begin their day precisely at 3.30 in the morning doesn't mean you have to too. If rising early doesn't work for you, the best way to keep your output consistent is to have your own time.\n\nThere is nothing wrong with not being able to be as consistent during the day as you are during nights.\n\n**Footnote**\nOriginally published on quora: https://www.quora.com/profile/Anto-Rin",

They both would fail, undoubtedly. And a miserable failure would be at that.\n\n**Although both the games could be considered as requiring high levels of stamina and endurance, and both men could be counted on for having extraordinary levels of stamina and endurance, one’s directing them at his flippers and the other at his piston.**\n\nWhen two athletes could not succeed in different disciplines of athleticism, how can one hope for them to succeed in a field not having any measure of athleticism at all?\n\nYou have to know what works for you; not what would look good on you. Every second you spend trying to be someone you aren't, you are missing out on your whole true self.\n\nIt's the best way to make a mark on this world.\n\n**Footnote**\nOriginally published on quora: https://www.quora.com/profile/Anto-Rin",

Maybe more.\n\nI read a lot of books, mostly fiction. And I’ve seen how authors strive hard to make the first words of their novels in a way as to have it as a preamble to keep readers in the edge of their seats for the rest of the book. It goes not any different for me, whenever I select a book, I don’t read the plot in the back cover because I strongly believe it ruins the story; rather, I go for the first paragraph. Of course, most of you do the same. That goes without saying.\n\nSome of the authors I’ve read have never once failed to clutch me by my senses and not let me go till I have read the last word. Of them all, Frederick Forsyth, a British author, titled “The Master Story-teller”, makes sure in each of his books that the readers get hooked in his very first paragraph.\n\nI haven’t seen an author so far who has had as interesting a life as that of Forsyth’s. He had been a journalist, an RAF pilot and a spy. After that, he turned into a full-time writer. His books are known for well-researched plots. His first novel, “The Day of the Jackal”, became an international best-seller, and won him the Edgar Allan Poe award for the best novel.\nThe following is a list I have compiled that I think are the best beginnings of the novels by Frederick Forsyth I have so far read. Of course, some of you may find my opinions highly conflicting with yours, because it is only a matter of how highly you allow yourself to be influenced by an author, one more than the other, when most of the writers do it good — just as Forsyth does it for me. And of course, I don’t dare place them in an order, for one might still find it incongruous to go by my order, when one can always make it better.\n\n**THE FIST OF GOD**\n\n“The man with ten minutes to live was laughing.”\n\n**THE AFGHAN**\n\n“If the young Talib bodyguard had known that making the cell phone call would kill him, he would not have done it. But he did not know, so he did and it did.”\n\n**ICON**\n\n“It was the summer when the price of a small loaf of bread topped a million roubles.\n It was the summer of the third consecutive year of wheat crop failures and the second of hyper-inflation.\n It was the summer when in the back alleys of the faraway provincial towns the first Russians began dying of malnutrition.\n It was the summer when the president collapsed in his limousine too far from help to be saved, and an old office cleaner stole a document.\n After that, nothing would ever be the same.\n It was the summer of 1999.”\n\n**THE KILL LIST**\n\n“If he had been asked, Jerry Dermott could have put hand on heart and sworn that he had never knowingly hurt anyone in his life and did not deserve to die. But that did not save him.”\n\n**THE COBRA**\n\n“The teenage boy was dying alone. No one knew and only one would have cared. He lay, skeletal from a life ruined by drugs, on a stinking palliasse in the corner of a filthy room in an abandoned block. The slum was in one of the failed housing schemes called ‘a project’ in Anacostia, a part of Washington D.C. of which the city is not proud and which tourists never visit.\n If the boy had known his death was going to start a war he would neither have understood nor cared. That is what drug abuse does to a young mind. It destroys it.”\n\n**THE ODESSA FILE**\n\n“Everyone seems to remember with great clarity what they were doing on November 22nd, 1963, at the precise moment they heard President Kennedy was dead. He was hit at 12.22 in the afternoon, Dallas time, and the announcement that he was dead came at half past one in the same time zone. It was 2.30 in New York, 7.30 in the evening in London and 8.30 on a chilly, sleet-swept night in Hamburg.”\n\n**THE DAY OF THE JACKAL**\n\n“It is cold at 6.40 in the morning of a March day in Paris, and seems even colder when a man is about to be executed by the firing squad. At that hour on March 11, 1963, in the main courtyard of the Fort d’Ivry a French Air Force colonel stood before a stake driven into the chilly gravel as his hands were bound behind the post, and stared with slowly diminishing disbelief at the squad of soldiers facing him twenty meters away.\n\n\nYou can always add to this, guys!\n\n* **Footnote:**\nOriginally published on Medium: https://thecreative.cafe/how-forsyth-starts-his-novels-explosively-e8a84d63758c",

      "body": "Each one of us has a story. Always.\n\nWe carry it all the time, we carry it on our faces, we carry it through our actions. We carry it unspoiled by the grasp of any written word, and tell it more by emotions. It’s what makes us who we are, what defines us in the eyes of others.\n\nAnd sometimes, we like what we read. Sometimes we don’t. Sometimes, we are just more concerned with adding value to something that would cough back results we want, that we fail to learn the importance of crafting human connections.\n\nBut there are these rare times that we get to read something we end up learning more of ourselves from; and more for ourselves. Stories from people we have never seen. From people we wouldn’t give a damn about.\n\nIt was one of those rare, vivid days that I was trying to board the 9 o’clock train for a place about two hundred and fifty miles away. A part of the once-in-a-while sabbatical. It was raining so hard that the asbestos canopy I had found cover under was rattling violently. When I finally entered the station, I was soaked to my bones.\n\nThere were a lot of people who had come inside, trying to find whatever cover they could. It was all a mess. There was mud everywhere. My train wasn’t due for another ten minutes, so I found a spot away from all the fuss to wait.\n\nNear to my left, huddled against a pillar, were a man and his dog. A “stray man” and a stray dog to be exact — stray by the surety they were both homeless. They both seemed immune to the world around them, although they themselves looked fairly in need of a dinner they weren’t getting because people were too busy to consider the outlandish figure they might probably see every other day.\n\n![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQFEG7gySbyVZFYeY8YZLszHFS66K9SnQRECoABXEznQR/image.png)\n\nI could understand the man had to battle every day to get things we might easily take for granted. He had no decent clothes on, and his eyes were bloodshot with angst. And the dog — it had several patches of hair, and some of skin, lost to some disease, maybe far from medical help to be cured; for all the medical help it could get, anyway.\n\nObviously, there was one day this guy had woken up, to probably the usual blowing of a train, the usual uncertainty of his life. He had scuttled into one of the trains getting prepped and used its restroom, treated his face to the salty, quirky water that he might call his “bath”. He had then ventured out, into the world, to ply whatever trade he could lay his hands on.\n\nAfter hours under the sun, it had so far only proved him worthless for money people with decent jobs earn without half as much exertion and work-time.\n\nBefore noon, he had somehow pulled about enough strings, and performed enough chores to get a decent lunch. He had settled on a sidewalk to have his meal in the quiet seclusion he’d gotten himself used to. That was when he had seen the brown dog walk toward him, wagging its tail as it did, ears flattened against its skull, and wanting a bite of his lunch.\n\nHe had named the dog Brownie, and they had lived together ever since.\n\nAs I looked at them, I felt times had been better for them both. There weren’t a lot who would want to give him chores, and money after, when all forms of laborious labors he would wish to apply for would prefer a man who looked like he can get it done. And he didn’t. There were definitely some days they had done better. Maybe “better” to them was more like “less worse”, but they’d lost it.\n\nThe man looked like he would love a pat on the back, for someone to offer him a word or two of comfort. As weak and desolate as he was, he had kept himself upright, kept Brownie against his legs, and was rubbing its tummy to sleep.\nHe seemed to have no say about things in life. He was as unsure about what his next moment could bring as Brownie was about its. The corner he had subjected himself to committing as his “residence” pretty much reflected with his taking the backseat to looking at things with a plausible and stern ambition.\n\nHe didn’t seem to care enough, though.\n\nNot that he was long past caring, but beyond his grief, I could swear he had this whimsical thought about life finding a way to present itself to him. He wanted to make the most out of what little the present moment had. Maybe he believed there was nowhere he couldn’t go after letting himself to much toil, even if that meant only as far as having three good meals a day.\n\nHe didn’t worry about the next day. He was only focused on seeing his buddy sleep. Maybe that gave him the most out of his moments.\n\nAnd I thought about myself, about us. We work so hard to have a better “five, ten years from now” when we couldn’t be sure about what the next instant could bring.\n\n*What if, by the time we have sacrificed cherishing all the ripe of the present for a better future, we find out we have become too old to live the fruits of our labor?*\n\nBut these two, Brownie and the man, had no such reservations. They had no blueprints to live by, no more future to prepare for than that they’d wake up every day to the same sun, and the same starvation.\n\nAnd whenever I get stuck in life, I tend to think about these two. Whenever I think I am being ambitious, I think about how having someone you love to hug for the night can set back imprudent reservations about the endless need for money to keep going. Because they help me return to the reality. And the reality is in the present. It’s in making the most out of what’s right there in front of you than worry about what may never be there for you in the future.\n\n“Future” is something fairly far from reality, probably only a dream of your most favorite kind of dreams.\n\nDo something right now, and that may just be something you once dreamt of doing, something you thought would happen sometime in the future. Don’t do something right now, and keep thinking about what you are going to do tomorrow, and you have already missed out on what you believed would be your future the other day. And you are going to miss out tomorrow’s success for the uncertainty of the day after.\n\nAnd the next day’s success for the day after that.\n\n* **Footnotes**\nOriginally published on medium: https://thecreative.cafe/the-stories-we-have-faa92be75db6",
