Keeping promises

Last week I did the 2024 equivalent of Googling myself, and asked Copilot(ChatGPT?) - who is Sajal Choudhary?

Sajal Choudhary is a writer and newsletter author who shares his experiences of living in Finland, along with occasional short stories and poems. He writes a weekly newsletter where he reflects on various topics, ranging from personal growth to societal issues.
Does this match the Sajal Choudhary you were referring to?

And then there's a link to my blog.

First, it feels good to read that, on the surface level. A nice boost to your ego.

In the immortals word of Prerna, when I sent her this screenshot, 'you are famous!'

I'm not. But ok.

Second, I don't want to dunk on AI. But the weekly newsletter is not about personal growth or societal issues. The weekly newsletter is about cool stuff I found on the web, or read. But that's not what the newsletter says, it's about.

A weekly newsletter on living in Finland.

That's what it says.

Prerna told me this yesterday. That I don't talk about Finland. That I can't just go out, take pictures of the autumn leaves on the ground, and call it a day. I have to talk about some things. It had felt invigorating then. Not when she was saying this, but when I was meditating on it while walking.

While walking yesterday, I thought about that. I thought about promises we make. About what the newsletter is, and isn't. It has evolved from when it started. I have a structure, which will change now, in it's thirtieth edition.

But keeping promises is important. We must meet the expectations we set. Both here, at work or in life.
