  • The person who changed a life

    Was there a person you can remember who changed the course of your life entirely? If there is, probably because they chose to take a chance on you even if you don’t feel promising at the moment. I have met people throughout my life who saw what I can do before I saw it myself;… Read more

  • Buy me a coffee

    You might think that this is another coffee post like the one I previously wrote.

  • Sleep — the easiest corner to cut?

    I am born into a generation who thinks that sleep is leisure which hinders ticking off one more thing from the never-ending to-do list. That’s why it is okay to stay up late for work or for another movie episode. Because with all the things we want to do and experience in life, sleep seems… Read more

  • Exceptional talent and purposeful practice

    If you’ve been thinking lately about how other people get so creative and you pale in contrast, you might have assumed that you simply don’t have the talent gene. You assumed that you need to be like Iron Man with a strike of genius before you can come up with the most innovative and novel… Read more
