True Friendship: The Very Definition Changing in Modern Day Society
By: Na Lee
I wanted to see how much I could get away with posing as a Middle-eastern tourist in Bombay
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my life and what I want to do with it.
Women in Tech? There are not many of us around. In a world of engineers and other STEM (Science…
Around this time last year, it finally hit me that anything that we strive for is possible if we would just…
We all want a successful life, career, and startup, but most of us don’t really think about what success means to us.
If you ask a startup founder if he will be successful, he will, of course, say YES.
’Tis the season to practice saying no. Many of us frequently say “yes” to invitations, favors, and…
The Basics : Purpose

I actually don’t know how to stand out.
But I know how to not stand out.
You will not stand out when you’re obsessed with your analytics.

Ahh.. high school. What a time to be alive. I bet you thought these would be the best days of you life, didn’t you? You thought that as soon as you walked through those front doors on your first day that your life could only go up from there huh? I don’t even have to remind you that you probably…
I miss people before they were their business cards and their awards.
I miss groups of friends broken apart because someone doesn’t like another person for some petty reason and they no longer hang out together.
“Human nature is complex. Even if we do have inclinations toward violence, we also have inclination to empathy, to cooperation, to self-control.”
Knowing my worth
I used to be at a very frustrated place in my career where “I” felt like I didn’t get the recognition I deserve, monetarily or by designation. I’ve tried to move ahead and take on more responsibilities, inspite of timezone issues, having a family, and generic software limitations for the past 4 years. And…

Taking a break is imperative if you wish to save your relationship.
You just smile more often in the day.
This, my friends, is a very deep question. A lot of layers can be broken down and discussed based…
You’re missing out on the present by moving too fast to build your future.

Week 9
Places and people tell stories. And sometimes, these stories are worth sharing.
Everything you will…
As a hustler, you’re focused, passionate, and fearless.
That day…
When you wake up at 6am, on a Sunday.
When your feet get soaked and your toes are numb.
When you slide in wet grass and your pants are cold, wet, and dirty.
“Life is a long process of finding what is the real meaning of it, all we need is absolute faith to…
Have you a relationship that has broken down?
You want to understand a city? I mean, really get a feel for it. I can tell you the first place to start — the…
The important thing is not to be bitter over life’s disappointments. Learn to let go of the past and recognize that everyday won’t be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair, remember that only in the black of night you can see the stars, and those…
I ran across an article not too long ago in The Guardian asking the question: “What’s it all about?” The article was titled…
I am not on drugs, I swear!
Unquestionably, the answer would depend on various elements, including, but not limited to:
Break down those walls of suspicion and distrust.
I believe and trust that in that one day I may meet someone who strives for this real love. Until then I shall hope x
Everything will turn out right, the world is built on that

Here is my welcoming speech at the Maiden edition of Pass.NG (an EdTech startup that prep students for major exams in Nigeria) Excellence Awards. I hope it inspires someone unto excellence.
His penis was a story in itself. Breathtaking and violent.
How is it that humanity has not already self destructed? What key thing(s) has kept it all together through history?
For the entire semester, I had been on a non-stop emotional roller coaster. I felt lost, depressed, anxious, excited, hopeful, and relieved. This emotional ride started after reading Excellent…
As a 20 something year old I thank you for the amazing insight this article has provided! Habits and routines are quickly becoming an ever changing chain of events throughout the day and learning how to handle or break those routines is nearly invaluable in day to day life. This is an eye opener for me in a time of need, once again thank you very…
If there’s one thing I’m truly passionate about, it’s the friendships I have in my life.
Yes, I’m that woman who is constantly reminding everyone my friends are “literally the best people…
Thank you for the last twelve years of friendship. Thank you for not judging me throughout my awkward preteen years. Thank you for not letting me go through my family problems alone. I guess, overall, thank you for never turning your back on me.

cruel world
we are living in a world where everything can come crashing down within seconds. we are living in a world where space between two lovers can not exist. we are living in a world where people no longer believe in love, they lose their trust and grow familiar with that. we are living in a world where people chose to…

Growing up, I used to think that having a high station in life was the ultimate pursuit. Fast forward to the present, where I am married with 2 awesome kids, my priorities certainly have changed.
I’m so tired of living , mentally and physically tired. I've came to a point whereby i find that no one can be trusted and they are so fake , they only go for things that benefits them. Human are so scary , they are too greedy. Why judge? Doesn’t have a cert doesn’t mean anything , but yet i’m living in a country whereby they judge you either for…
So what is the point?
I’ve reached a crossroads in my life.
I thought I had realized something that would make me happy and fulfilled as a person for the rest of my life. But that is no longer an option for me in my life.
I’m 24.
I’m told I’m young but I don’t feel it. It’ll be okay, they say. I’ll find MY path one day.
It’s not easy figuring out what to you with your life. When I was younger I certainly thought by this age I’d have it all figured out — my dream career, a husband, house and maybe even a baby — but I’m inching with an ever-increasing pace towards…

As I sat contemplating the loss of a shot at vocation and love at the same time, I suddenly felt clarity. Like a relentless glutton for punishment I felt with an acute sense of guilt, a feeling that I deserved and had worked my way down to, this snag. Relief then, at having avoided major derailment and…
From a personal point of view.
Society is changing fast.
We alive now, have noticed.
Accelerating, I like to think metamorphosing,
Into something few can imagine.
In two weeks my school days will be over. I won’t have to wake up at six for another three months, but soon I’ll reach a new step of my life. However, I would be lying if I said that I am ready.
It’s cold outside, but I leave the window open.I blow on the surfaceof my coffee, eventhough it’s cold,too.

I'm not going to tell you what reality is, you are going to find that out anyway. But I would like to show you something or take you to a place where everything is true like those clouds and waves.

We are younger at this exact moment than we’ll ever be.
Here is my favorite Gary V quote. Gary is the best, he is who people need to start watching/listening to. He is incredible.
“You have to understand your own personal DNA. Don’t do things because I do them or Steve Jobs or Mark Cuban tried it. You need to know your personal brand and stay true to it.” – Gary Vaynerchuk
You sound like a twat. Stop hating and maybe you will be liked
I fear it… that feeling of emptiness. Of what will happen when you reach your final goal and then you just stand there. What comes next?

We had time to talk, take a break, move onto something else, end it mid-sentence, analyze the moment, and revisit before, even two or three times again.

My responsibility is to love them ☺ John 15:12. My inspiration is Biblical . Love is shown in many ways. As long as I’m sensitive to the Holy Spirit I can show the kind of love I need to.
Vishwarath — you are ahead boy ! And for sure you are not going to regret it :) .
I am 35 & trying to pick these habits. Also what would be interesting for me to follow is — “ How would you maintain the consistency when there are project deadlines or have family commitments to meet ?”. Wish you all the best, keep learning & growing!

My tired eyes gaze at the dark, familiar scene
Flight attendants hurrying down the aisles,
Strangers from foreign lands finding rest,
And my hands with a slow, uncontrollable shake
Gotcha I understand what you mean. Like I said before love can be shown in many ways. So sometimes telling another person I love you is sufficient. Love can also be as simply as being attentive towards a person, or offering a listening ear when they just need to talk to somone.
If somone is to harm themselves or another then it’s up to myself to do the morally correct actions.

Your response itself was one of attacking. I reviewed your previous responses to people’s work, and they were along the same line. So I’m under the impression that that is the reason you haven’t been surprised yet.
For example if I was responding to this article I would have asked something to the effect of “in today’s day…

My mom is the mom of moms. Truly. She is amazing with children, and I watched her take care of my cousins and her grandkids and a few wayward teen friends of mine with panache. As a child I looked up to her, idolized her, and tried diligently to become her. But lately I’ve experienced the personal let…
My Own Social Circle
The big question I have of finding my place in the universe is crucial to my eventual happiness so I am surrounding myself with those who are going through the same things. My friends that I have had since high school are very much in the same place I am. They have given me insight that I sometimes don’t…
Bullseye, thanks for taking the time to eloquently validate my way of life with fundamental statistics and evolutionary psychology; two of my favorite personal subjects of study and practice.

I feel the same way about Gray Vee he talks about useful things in business and in life like “ do what makes you happy in life” and “Fuck Professor Tom”!!!!!
I have never seriously considered writing, aside from the short novel I started and probably will never finish, until recently when a good friend of mine recommend I put my thoughts on paper (metaphorically); so here we go.
If the memorable times of your life are less than 10, then you should re-think the purpose of your life.
Great sentence. Something to really consider.
Thanks Pardeep!
I loved her in a way she could not reciprocate.
We are all falling towards death. Every second we walk ever closer to the end. Wherever or whenever that will be. But here we are, right now, in this moment. And whether or not you’re hurting, or happy, or confused, or scared, or alone. We have to make the most of this moment…
Life.

I chose this as my logo to represent myself because throughout my entire life, sports has always been a consistent love of mine.

Kids running through the halls
I saw us loving, happy together.

Have I disappointed you somehow?
This whole time have you been disappointed in me? But were too nice to admit it to me, or yourself?
Did you ever love me like I do you?
How do I fight back at children services thay have ignored my right to have my daughter if her mum had her taken
Strength and respect. .. soul and Reality..
The heart is…. Such….. incomparable. ..*
It feels like everyone I know met in secret and all decided to completely cut me out of their lives.
I turn around and it seems like all the people I once thought were my friends. People I once thought I could count on if I needed them, are no where to be seen.

How does one become so lost?
Blame hardships.
Blame heartbreak.
Even blame technology.

Mix it up it still works

Hope will always be a word that never loses its magic. This wonderful and strong power that motivate you to do what you have always thought you will never be able to do. This power starts a revolution inside your heart whenever everything and everyone say stop or you can’t or enough…
Ooh, that 'trial run' concept of yours when it comes to dating? My Indian parents are going to absolutely love it 😜😊 But you’re right, no one gets it right the first time. Perhaps the 'one in a million' ones but believing in your uniqueness is different from relying blindly on it and expecting everything to magically work itself out the minute you show up; That is arrogance.
You scared yourself and called Michelle. Actually had a really down to earth convo. It was nice, i guess it’s nice to talk to someone on the phone and actually have a good conversation.
Hey everyone, seems like forever since I posted about a trip. This one is about the Land of the Free (America!!!). I’m not sure that I have many tips to share, probably just pictures, but we’ll see.
