I was first introduced to the book “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari” by a girl I met at a party in September 2023. I had never read self-help books before but I was interested in the topic. Being on a journey of self-improvement, I wondered what could be extracted from this type of literature. Until then, the only external advice I had was from Matt d’Avella’s YouTube videos. And I feel that short 10-minute videos can spark a low commitment to implement long-term change in me (do not get me wrong, his videos are amazing). So I gave the book a chance.
So, the blog is back. If you are new here, let me introduce myself (not that I have an entire page devoted to myself here 😉). As you may have guessed, I’m called Albert Azemar i Rovira, and I’m the proud owner of this corner of the internet. This blog is, more or less, a little fun personal, and experimental project that I’ve been on and off since 2020. Now you’ll find a mashup of ideas, hobbies, experiences, reviews, and other content I feel might be insightful or that I enjoy writing about. But it wasn’t always like this.
People that have known me since I was an undergrad know that from 2015 to 2019, I was an active Magic The Gathering (MTG) player. For the uninitiated, MTG is a trading card game invented by Richard Garfield in the 90s. Each player must build a deck with a minimum of 60 cards with a maximum of 4 copies of the same card. These can be chosen from a pool of thousands.
So it’s been almost eight months since I last tuned in to my blog. Of course, I have failed in my attempt to produce one post per week (lame). So why tune in now? Well, boredom might be one of the main driving factors. Also, a few things have changed during these last months so I wanted also to reflect on them.
