  • When ideas mate and reproduce

    My life experiences may not be at par with the privileged or those who have been socially active whenever given the opportunity.

  • Working on the same field

    Tap, tap, tap on a surface, and you might just make a hole, eventually. I’ve heard stories about people who started a specific career in their 20s and continued to develop and improve themselves under the same track. Now in their 50s, they find themselves established after hard work and building connections just because they rooted themselves in… Read more
