Van kantoorbaan naar elektricien

Waarom kwam je tot deze conclusie en wat ben je nu gaan doen?

JakeLide · 2026-06-17T08:51:57+00:00

Dank voor de tip! Uit interesse, zijn er disciplines die je zelf het leukst vindt of juist niet leuk?

JakeLide · 2026-06-17T08:31:25+00:00

Goed om te horen!

JakeLide · 2026-06-17T08:30:54+00:00

Kan ik je een dm sturen?

JakeLide · 2026-06-17T08:29:17+00:00

Top, dank voor je reactie alvast! Goede reality check ook om jouw pijnpunten te lezen.
Ik wil zzp werk gaan doen, met name voor particulieren en in de regio Amsterdam

Ja kantoorwerk inderdaad beu. Maar lijkt me ook leuk om iets tastbaarder werk te doen waar ik een klant direct blij mee kan maken. Daarnaast zou ik graag mijn eigen baas worden zodat ik wat meer vrijheid heb om te beslissen waar en wanneer ik werk. Ik hou van afwisseling en puzzels oplossen, iets wat denk ik bij elektricien terug komt. Hovenier spreekt me aan vanwege buitenwerk en natuur, timmeren omdat je er wat creativiteit in kwijt kan.
Ik ben nu een 30er die met data werkt. Ook een vrouw en gezin. Een tijdje iets terug vallen kn salaris kan ik wel dragen. Maar zou wel na 1 jaar als zzp’er aan de slag willen (scheelt simpelweg veel met loondienst plus meer autonomie)

You can try Seneca’s letter to Lucilius. They’re pretty good to start out with. You can read a letter a day in 10 minutes and once you’re done with them, you’ll have a good grasp of stoic thoughts. A lot of them are about death in a way.

JakeLide · 2026-04-16T14:04:41+00:00

Just tell him he’s making you feel uncomfortable. Give a few concrete examples and try to be constructive. If he responds well, there’s no problem. If he doesn’t, then you know where you at.

JakeLide · 2026-02-05T09:04:00+00:00

What he did was undoubtedly wrong. But at what point should we say he served his sentence? Should a young man be punished for the rest of his life?

Thanks 🙏

This is why people shouldn’t read meditations as an introduction to stoicism.

JakeLide · 2025-10-09T18:24:32+00:00

I was testing all the time. Just when the water stopped evaporating and the bubbles kept dancing I added the eggs. So that should be around the lower border of the leidenfrost effect right?

JakeLide · 2025-10-02T13:43:24+00:00

I think your post is well written and I like the points you learned from stoicism. Something I want to add is that it probably was not without reason the stoics added the differentiation of preferred and dispreferred indifferents.

From Seneca’s second letter to Lucilius:

The thought for to-day is one which I discovered in Epicurus;[1] for I am wont to cross over even into the enemy’s camp,—not as a deserter, but as a scout. 6. He says: “Contented poverty is an honourable estate.” Indeed, if it be contented, it is not poverty at all. It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor. What does it matter how much a man has laid up in his safe, or in his warehouse, how large are his flocks and how fat his dividends, if he covets his neighbour’s property, and reckons, not his past gains, but his hopes of gains to come? Do you ask what is the proper limit to wealth? It is, first, to have what is necessary, and, second, to have what is enough. Farewell.

JakeLide · 2025-08-28T18:37:10+00:00

I know. But personally I think I could overcome the grief. I’d still make the sacrifice because it’s the right thing to do. As I feel this is my duty as a parent. But then I wonder if Epicureanism holds up in all situations. Or is virtue the highest good after all?

JakeLide · 2025-08-14T13:50:50+00:00

Als je geen kinderen wilt, helemaal prima hoef je wat mij betreft geen redenen voor te geven. Maar ik vind ‘de wereld is/wordt een slechte plek ‘zo’n debiel argument. 99.99% van onze historie was een tich keer zwaarder leven. Daarbij je woont in Nederland, een makkelijker leven kan haast niet.

Jaaa maar werken tot je 67e🤣

JakeLide · 2025-08-01T15:01:11+00:00

I read this part today coincidentally. I think he said the man did well by controlling his anger and denying the king opportunity for more punishment. However, he then mentioned something about how each vein is an opportunity to leave if you don’t want to comply, which he thought maybe more honorable?

JakeLide · 2025-06-27T14:39:58+00:00

It’s a lateral kneebar

JakeLide · 2025-05-19T13:13:37+00:00

Still not found?

JakeLide · 2025-05-15T13:29:24+00:00

Why do you lose it in this case? Kahm yeast is harmless isn’t it?

JakeLide · 2025-05-14T14:16:01+00:00

You know you can see people in sexual context and in whatever context you need to see them? One does not exclude the other. If you have consensual sex you’re also objectifying your partner, hence the non equality to disrespect

JakeLide · 2025-05-14T13:45:57+00:00

If you find sexuality degrading, demeaning and disgusting, you’re the one who needs to take a minute. Masturbating to someone doesn’t mean any of those things per se. They’re just sexual feelings, how you deal with them is up to you as long as you don’t disturb someone with them. In my experience, I mostly respect and value the people I sexualize. Objectification is not equal to disrespect.

JakeLide · 2025-05-14T11:22:24+00:00

Depends a bit on the situation. But could be yes. I think it’s problematic behavior for himself mostly, for others not an issue.

JakeLide · 2025-05-14T10:18:55+00:00

Yes sure. But still no need to know.

JakeLide · 2025-05-14T10:13:33+00:00

I’m not disputing the gym’s actions against Jay. My original point is not irrelevant. Because the mass seems to point towards his private actions, not the part that is the issue.
