What makes a difference between fighters and cowards?






When you have to deal with problems, usually you will get advice: "Be strong." Our characters are different and we will handle our hard moments in different ways.



Someone will cry and breakdown is possible. 

You pass through a tough breakup or divorce? You will need a hand, but the main decision is on you, how you will handle this situation. If you are a strong person, you will not ring on the door of your friends every time when you feel sad and when your ex is missing you. The very important part is your pride. Face it with problems because they will not run away overnight.


Life can be as an earthquake, the ground is shaking under your feet when bad things start to ruin your safety. The time of crisis is an explosion. The bomb is here, your life will crush, you will collect small pieces, behind you is sound of the rattle and you are lost. A strong person will consider this situation as a challenge. Well, life is testing me, so let me see how I can deal with this. I am a fighter, so my odds are not big, but I am in the game. That moron left me and I will find the better guy. In fact, he does me a favor. I had no power to leave him, but I will be enough strong not to call him back. 






If you are weak, you will think about suicide, because for you now is an end of the world. 

I will not love anyone as I loved him, he was everything to me and my life is over so I will start to plan my funeral. This pathetic elegy is the main problem of weak people, they give up even they still have a chance to fix things. We can see this difference in childhood. Little weak boy loses in the monopoly game. He will cry, he is furious and next time he will not play because of the afraid of defeat. His friend is a brave guy. He will also lose, but he can't wait next time. This is adrenaline, challenge. He is very happy to get this kind of revenge. Now I will smash him and I will win, this is how he thinks.


When you got a bad mark at school, will you give up on studying? Let's leave school, all this is shit and I don't want to bother anymore. Or, you will prove to the teacher that you are not an idiot. You are a candidate for an excellent mark next time.


Life is not a fairy tale. If anyone thinks that life is just an unwrapped gift, that person is very wrong. We can see in movies that some people can get anything because they are benefited, powerful or simply lucky. This is not a realistic view. Behind every victory and happiness is a background. If you dig into other's lives, you will see pain, grief, struggle. Ask reach businessman how he gets success. His money doesn't come from the sky right into his hands. It was hard to battle, and the way to success was full of thorns.

Darwin said: "Only the strongest survive." The strongest people are not those who are over 100 kilograms in weight. They are not wrestlers or kickboxers. Real strength came out from a clear mind. You might beat everyone if you are resistant, if you don't give up and if you believe in yourself. If someone thinks the opposite, make a challenge. The real fighter will respond to your challenge. Coward will hide in the rat hole and eventually, he will gossip you behind your back.

Should we respond to negative reviews?

Recently I had a discussion in my social media about negative ratings. There was a situation in Goodreads, where I got two negative reviews on my two books. The point was in the way how the ratings were set up. First rating for my book "Body in the waves" was placed under 5-star review from another reviewer. While the reviewer praising my book, the troll came under to say "This is really bad book." Second rating was described as " Poor author needs writing lessons." Both reviews broke standards of reviewing, because there is no visible evidence that book was downloaded in Kindle unlimited or purchased. It was a clear troll act from a new page, without a profile photo and with a nickname. I reported this to Goodreads and they responded me they are processing this. Meanwhile, I heard from other authors that Goodreads failed to do anything about trolling.  In these terms, Goodreads should delete such profiles and forbid the access because of breaking rules. T...

Why the refund is damaging indie authors?

I understand someone can be disappointed with a book. It is like I was disapointed with my trousers online and returned it. What makes a difference, my trousers were 40 euros. The book was 2.49 cents. This makes return funny, because what can you do with this money? Some readers don't understand story behind the refund. The author will get minus royalties. - 0.13 c in my Kindle report, that will vanish when someone else buy the book. The situation happens. Someone accidentaly clicked and bought a book. A random customer wants a refund. Maybe it was not a random move. Maybe the customer clicked, bought and did not like the book. When you don't like the book choose another options, instead of damaging authors. Write a negative review. Write negative one star rating. Don't purchase another books from this author. Or, maybe to reconsider and read it, again? If you write negative reviews or rate it with 1 or 2 stars, you are making a favor to authors. You are moving algorithms i...

Five myths about promo sites

Recently I asked for a featured Bookbub deal for one of my books. I got response that my book should be free priced and my expense would be 230 dollars. This is really funny, because I could expect people grab my book for free and give me one star (as it happens when books are available for everyone). To pay such amount of money would be waste and without a purpose. I am mix of traditional and indie author. Having a publisher, but not bestseller books, I am looking for ways to increase my book sales. Promo sites like Bookbub are very expensive and they offer their deals for 25% books from authors who applied for this. I had an insight to author's books who grabbed Bookbub deals. It works will authors who are already selling a good amount of their books. In general, promo sites are not working for favor of indie authors. These are five myths about promo sites: Promo sites give many readers. It is not true, because you will get visibility and many trolls, but not readers. Promo sites...
