I feel embarrassed. Most of all, I feel guilty.
Last night, as I parked my car, I saw something on the driveway that unnerved me. In the darkness, I wasn’t sure whether it was the pages of a magazine being battered by…

Tired of self-loathing? Sick of beating yourself up for not being good enough? So was my client. He was unhappy with his life. He felt he had painted himself into a corner. He had done what he was “supposed” to do…

Life is all about collecting pieces.
Pieces of an unknown puzzle. A puzzle we have no clue about what it might look like once we’re done with it. Once we’re done with collecting the pieces. Once we have a true piece of…

I kissed a thousand times, but none of the kisses taste like ours would have.
A few month ago, I read Pete Sampras’ letter to his younger self. It made me want to write one.
People watching is an interesting thing to do. Sometimes people can’t help but to watch other people. Watching what their doing at that moment, judging them for every slightest thing that could be wrong with them. When in reality, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with…

TL;DR: There’s a whole cottage industry of startup advice out there, startup founders beware.

It’s become a ritual in our house that when we put Calvin to sleep one of us will lay on the bed next to him for a bit. I’m not sure what Amanda and him talk about.
He and I usually talk about what he is going to dream about. Most of the time it’s dragons, red ones…

I’m standing outside the farmhouse watching fireflies light up the field. The air hangs heavy as the last bit of a storm passes on. Except for the distant thunder, it’s quiet and I love it.
Those who know me know how much I love sitcoms. My ALL TIME FAVORITE has to be How I Met Your Mother. It’s funny, witty, heartwarming, and thought provoking all at once. So I decided to compile my favorite bits of advice this incredible show taught me.
What a brilliant observation. McDonald’s was my first job, I was 18, worked there part time for a few months. My dad was so disgusted, he thought me working there brought shame on the family. He paid me the same salary I was getting so i stop working there. I kept the job and the extra he gave 😉. I had kids throw a full cup of shake at me, once…
I was excited to enter 9th grade at the huge high school. A straight A student wanting to learn and grow. I had loved art and decided it would be my extra course choice. When my schedule arrived, Home Economics was what was listed. I will never forget Miss Griffin, my junior high teacher. She contacted the…
Yesterday I was reminded that 2016 would be the year of the Monkey once again (my zodiac). The last time it was the year of the Monkey, I was 12 and couldn’t imagine what life would be like at 24.
Superstitions are bad because they have their roots in ignorance. They show our fear, hopelessness, lack of knowledge and helplessness. It is a pity that even many educated persons…
I’ve spent a lot of my life living horizontally. What do I mean by that?
I’ve looked out the rear view mirror, lamenting about the past, wondering “what if?”
Supposed to be smart, but not so smart.
Би хотоос хөдөөд очлоо. Хөдөөнийхөн ч шавж, хотоос ирсэн ухаантан, гэгээнтэн аятай л аяглаж хамаг байдгаа дэлгэнэ. “Хотод юу болж байна, яах гэж байна” гэж шалгаана.

Dear Society,
Things are complicated. The world’s billionaires aren’t evil anymore, yet some people who are rich still are greedy. People of color are no longer enslaved, yet ignorance and hatred still exist. Being gay isn’t a crime, but there is still a chasm…

It’s not about me. I’m not personally grieving, because the person I knew who was killed in the San Bernardino shooting yesterday wasn’t a close friend. Still, that makes two people I know who were shot down and killed in the past few months.
Good is not enough. You need to strive for better.
Writing every word down to letter and line, I cherish every stroke.
When you meet new person remember his name, because person’s name for him is the sweetest sound in whole world. Do you agree that it’s always nice when others pronounce your name?:)
Just thought that I should do a short introduction before I write the story.Hello, you can call me Fits or Fitz. I’m an introvert (yes, people need to know that lol). According to 16personalities.com, my personality is ISTP. In one word, I would say my personality is complicated (well, I…

Passionately hating would bring me vitriol from people and an immense sense of guilt in my heart. My hatred was clothed in childish innocence and sacred sense of injustice. I was the victim and with no judge I sat myself on the seat of justice. I made my pronouncements of guilt without…
My weekend was okay. i didn't went out to eat with family or anything. I just spend time with the person i love the most. that person is me, myself, and I. I think i didn’t even brush my hair over the weekend. We have to kill like a lot chicken for the “New Year”. I went shopping with my mom and dad. it was so so. …kinda cold but, i don’t care. I got lot of food. the food didn’t less me a week but it‘s cool.
This year has been especially trying for me. Going from one job to a few scam jobs to interviews to finally landing another job to being insecure that it’s not where I should be in life to crushed dreams, realizing the toxicity of my childhood and more have brought me to an understanding…
Love the spirit of this. Curiosity beats guilt. But most people only change when they feel bad. Change because you want to. Iterate your life!

So many people I know, live for weekends and vacations. They start thinking about Saturday on Tuesday. They begin planning their escape into their own time 80 hours before quitting time on Friday and then they don’t make the most of their personal time. Work guilt, chores guilt, laziness and…
I wish I were different
Like all those small things with greater value
I wish I could rise
Beyond my arrogance and selfish hue
I read a good article yesterday about Stocisim and there was a few good thoughts. But the things I liked most were what led up to my take on stocisim.
Wow! We were going through the exact scenario and now with Baby MarQuie on the way after 2 miscarriages and showing wonderful signs of health and growth, we are over the moon!
I wrote an announcement piece and plan to make it public on Medium when my wife is comfortable. We are at 12 weeks as of today.
Who am I? What is life? What is my purpose? Many people ask themselves these questions everyday. Humans naturally question, and I find myself questioning all the time, especially in my early life as I decide what to do.
When thinking about life, I realize the cycle that many people my age are bound to. They will go to…
i do not knowwhere they are bound
To be honest I have typed & backspaced like seven times to figure out how to start this post.
Through tears of joy & sorrow my heart continues to break. Yesterday morning, I drove home from Iowa City praying for a miracle & by yesterday afternoon was in a ball on the floor at work…
You’re a brave person. And everyone else who is still stuck somewhere and holding back those tears.
No matter how good you look, what kind of popular brands you wear or how many diamonds you have, if your face expression shows selfishness and sourness, be sure that you’ll never make good friends. People apprecciate open heart people with pure intentions.
You know when you feel like you can’t do anything right? I know how you feel. Honestly when this happens to me I just want to shut out the world and just have time to myself. I think the best thing to do when this happens is to just stop what your doing and if you can just listen to some…

For some of us, sleeping is just a miracle, ’cause everything keep us awake. Even the dimmest light becomes a fierce enemy when it comes to sleeping, a mosquito flying around, any sound, unmade bed, not confy pillow, but one of the worst things that can happen to me is cold feet.
I googled myself. I can’t believe he posted those pictures.
“Why Do You Want to Be a Journalist.”
Starting this course in broadcast and communications I have been asked the same question one hundred times. My classmates, instructors, acquaintances and family members have asked me this over and over again “why do you want to be a journalist.” To me the reason is obvious even though…

Life rushes on and sometimes it is difficult to keep up. December seems to take life to a new level of intensity, as we race headlong into the holidays. But even at this hectic time we know that soon the year will end, and we look back at the…
I’m going to be blunt…. I am not a fan of change. I enjoy routine. Having things in the same place every day and knowing what is going to happen on a daily basis is pleasing to me. However, life just doesn’t work that way. Curveballs are thrown everywhere and the aftermath results in a chaos inside of me that I…
It’s when you’re left alone
You stop going
you stop working
And you start thinking .
It’s when you’re left alone fear enters your mind . Ready and waiting to destroy you.
Academics pretend to believe that their writings are meant to transfer information intact from one mind to another. This is particularly ironic since they are so adept at preventing any such transfer, using ingenious obfuscatory language. But the model itself is deeply flawed. Words are intrinsically…
You have to take care of yourself. Even for a few seconds or so, take rest whenever you have sometime to spare, but know your duties.
The clock can rest anytime…when?
Mimi this is a fantastic perspective to take, in my opinion the mark of the most highly developed minds is an altruistic drive.
The question you ask here, “how can I help” is both easy and challenging. Easy in the sense that there are millions of ways to help all around us, and difficult because of the challenge of choosing…
What’s the difference between a wall of logic and a rational idea? Both are limited by what is perceived as scientific, in other words, both are limited by something that has historically been always wrong. In other words, although our rational bubble has been expanding through time, generation after generation proving what the previous one thought…

Hey there Aurelia Heath ! It feels good to read a heartfelt piece from someone somewhere on the other side of the globe, who has the same dreams as I have and is of the same age. I did not choose the same path as you did; I just wanted to tell you to never let go of that lovely spark in you. Very few people feel the need to be deeply connected with something bigger than themselves and their daily hassle.
What is happiness? I have to say : true happiness comes when you support someone and do so for a good cause. I can conclude here with: True happiness comes when you humble yourself by asking sincere forgiveness for any note.

Believe it or not, life is not a dress-rehearsal. This is it. The things you say and do actually matter. Straying too far to the left, or to the right from this truth will fill any void you may have with regret, and there is nothing worse than regret.
Too many people just live mindlessly, they don’t take things for real so they lose plenty of opportunities and good things.
Let’s take a moment to refelect on the power and the relevance of the growing informal cities around the world, think about what issues they are solving and where the current and past problem-solving schemes of architects and urban planners is and was falling short.
What is the best advice, you have ever got, on maintaining lifelong strong relationship with your loved ones (spouse, children, parents), friends and colleagues?
I got the following advice from a senior colleague, which I rate as the best for maintaining great relationships in our lives. This advice was given to me during…
I can tell it’s the same type of dancing as mine, but there’s something not quite right. It’s his personal style of dance, alright, I can roll with that.

What always seems to happen when we put ourselves out there, is we fear it will only be ourselves that care. In reality we find that there are much more people in the world who share our vision than we thought. Keep going.
But some of us need that calm not saying that everyone should strive for that, for someone like me with anxiety which often find his mind trapped in judgment and fear. That emptiness is bliss, it bring a little order to chaos. I don’t believe I’m putting myself anywhere beside where I need to be. I understand what you talk about and I see it too. I…
Se saudade matasse eu não estaria mais a que, distância pra mim já é muita coisa, tudo que eu quero nessa vida é viver de coisas boa.

Thank you. It was a little embarrassing to write even knowing i would be making lots of mistakes. ☺
But i thought i should share my point of view on the matter.
Hi there…per your volume note above 250ml or 350ml we have two distinct prices R20 & R25…our Cortado 180ml cup is R18… And fyi our R20 cup size is the same cup as Delux and Origins old cups…and we’re de-listing from Zomato for many a flawed reason.
Good idea.

This is vague. How much faster are you than say, HelpChat? Is speed of response your only differentiator? I want to believe you but how am I supposed to, until and unless I have some comparative data?
Lol yah and the girl that crepily highlighted every one of the lines in my story. She unique too.
I lost a friend in that shooting. The house where the shooters started their chase is down the street from me. My wife has friends who work at the IRC. This sad event hit really close to home.
I understand what you’re saying about ‘that' town. I’m already getting it from friends and family.
Thanks for writing this up.

Second Life
If you are suffering for any reasons,perhaps lying in a hospital bed, Almighty will ease your pain in the hereafter.
**Second shot at life:**
Ever think of having a second chance at life?
17 anos? Mas parece 1 dia. O primeiro dia de vida, a primeira visão de mundo, o primeiro passo dado, a primeira lágrima caída. Tombos, arranhões, machucados e cicatrizes, essa foi a minha infância. Pega-pega, pique-esconde, futebol de rua, tudo era tão inocente, era tão puro e livre. Ainda bate aquela saudade de acordar cedo com um beijo de papai…
I loved it, very good
