Move fast

I haven't written here for a while,... Got bored and tired of it again.

So how have I been doing? Well, the thesis is gradually progressing, Most of the preliminary work is done. So it's off to the races now. Just get some results and hope they are relevant.

On the poker front, I've had two good results, which have pumped my bankroll to about 300 dollars.

But that wasn't the reason I wanted to write here again.

The reason I wanted to write is that I'm scared. For the first time in a long time I'm scared about something I can't control. I imagined greece failing, and perhaps causing some fallout. I imagined perhaps Portugal failing and causing fallout. But I had imagined that we would able to save Italy. or better, I believed that at some point we would be able to stop this crisis from getting worse, stop the fire from spreading. We didn't. Or better, they didn't, I never had a say in it.

I am scared that if this problem doesn't get solved in a few days (say by monday) we'll be in deep trouble. Not the small things that have been happening so far, but as Christine Lagarde warned, the fear of losing an entire decade.

But more than anything, I resent the fact that everything takes so long, while it should go fast. Greece got into trouble 2 years ago. and problems are still getting worse. I voted over 500 days ago, and still don't have a government. I would like to ask the people in charge one thing. Do it fast. Wether this entire thing can be solved and one year from now we'll be laughing about this and looking at a strong economic revival and a good economic outlook for the future, or wether it's going to blow up in our faces and we'll experience 1929, and the history booke will barely remember the 2007 crisis. Do it fast, end the uncertainty,

Do it fast. I am 23 years old, I have time. I can get beat down, and wait 10 years, 20 years,... But do it fast, so that we now what I have to plan for, what I can expect, and also, if it will crash anyway, the faster it happens, the faster we can start to clean up, and the faster everything will look vaguely recognisable again.

Perhaps some advise. When my room get's slightly messy I have to coax myself to clean up, it doesn't go easy: I don't like it. And I can't work in a structural way. I'm constantly thinking maybe I should first remove the dirty glasses, mahybe I should first clean the table top,...

When it gets seriously out of hand an it's more a health hazard then a room, the solution is the following: get out of the room, and open the door, and simply do the thing that is closest to you, and work your way through the room.

It's time to quit thinking about what to do. Cut everhywhere and cut deep to save and pay off debt, or get the printing press running, and order some more presses to make it go faster, but stop tinkering around in the margin. Remove every obstacle there stands between here, and a good economical situation and do it without fear. If we push too far, we can rectify this later, but waiting will only make the job way harder.
