Why is wrong to be happy with small things?



Do you know the statement “be happy with small things if you can’t get big things”? Someone who was not ambitious made this like comfort for all frustrations and unfilled wishes.
The modest person will say that you need to be happy:
Because you are alive.
Because you have no health problems.
Because you have a meal and a warm shelter.
I agree with this because everyone starts with a basic thing, and we should appreciate what we have. Just appreciation doesn’t mean that you don’t have to go further. If that satisfaction with small things stop you from progress, this statement is wrong and your obstacle to success.
If you live in your safe cage and never travel out of your city you are happy but you will always wonder: “What if?”
Imagine that you changed your life, but this means a risk, step forward from your comfort zone, and maybe a danger?
If you are not ambitious and aware of the risk, you will stay safe, but your full potential will be undefined.
Once my father’s friend said to my father: “Your daughter is smart, why she should not reach her full potential?”
What will make you believe that small things are not good enough for you?
Your competition lives better than you because they had guts.
You refuse to see the bad side of your comfort zone and live in the illusion.
You are afraid that of other’s disapproval.
You think people will label you like a pretentious person who is spoiled.
If you ask successful people about their story, it will not be a beautiful fairytale. It will be a rough story about tears, anger, frustrations, and much wasted time. The end of this story will be “therefore I am here now, it was worthy.”
Do you think you could live better or you enjoy yourself in your comfort zone?

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...

Swapping books - a devil's deal

  "I will read your book if you read and review mine." This is an example of author's deal when it comes time for reviews. Reviews is hard to get. If you sell books, it is still not guarantee you will get reviews. If I could get a review for every book I sold, it would be great. People will buy book to collect it on the shelves and leave it un-read. Or, they will read but not rate it. Many reasons are for not getting reviews, but some people don't know where and how to write reviews or are not eligible. That is the reason why authors will turn to other authors, with a proposition for review. The danger of such review is on Amazon rules: author can't review other's author books on request. I love to read indie authors and they inspire me, but I have my circle and I never accept offers to read someone I never heard about. Once I got a proposition :" Hey, I saw your review for XX author, can you write it for me, too?" I ignored it. When you have a deal ...

Why is refund 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...
