Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•[Serious] What non-religious video(s) lights a fire under your ass to get shit done?
1·2 years agoI’m not going to lie, it takes a lot of soul searching.
Start with what you’re passionate about. And I mean really passionate about. What could you talk to someone about for hours, or the one thing in your world that you want to make better, and it frustrates you that it isn’t.
Each journey is highly individual, though passion is a good place to start.
I have, without a word of a lie, watched Simon’s ‘Why’ talk at least two dozen times. I still get threads of gold from it each time I watch it, because each time I do watch it I’ve had a new experience, good or bad, that reinforces why I do what I do, and why they’ll likely have to drag me out in a body bag for me to truly leave what I do.
I’m just that passionate about it. However, that passion took years to develop. Indeed I didn’t even know I’d ultimately land in the career I’m in today 5 years ago, which was very different to my career path then.

4·2 years agoSimon Sinek’s famous ‘Why’ speech.
It reminds me why it’s important to cut through bullshit and focus on what actually matters, by keeping in touch with my ‘why’, my “why do I get out of bed in the morning, and why should anyone care”, and how to communicate that to others.

Your best point of reference is, without being facetious, the movie A Bug’s Life.
You probably could with small enough woody materials, but at that size they’ll incinerate pretty quickly unless the density of the woody material in your campfire was equivalent to that of real life to support similar fire behaviour.
Density generally doesn’t scale with reduction in size, so what would usually be a solid tree log that burns slowly at 1:1 scale, would probably be equivalent to dry straw or grass blades at 1:200 scale.
(scale numbers spit-balled: no science behind them)
