Change your point of view. Although we may not think it.. we are all bias. We have opinions molded by our personal perspective. We often decide right and wrong internally with no debate. Without ever actually considering the opposition. One of the most interesting things to in the world, to me, is the fact that…

Sometimes we don’t notice progress because its small. It takes time. It adds up incrementally. BUT Sometimes, we don’t progress. The best way is to track yourself. Analyze your performance from a month ago, 3 months ago, 6 months… Have you progressed ? If not, Why not? Whatever you are doing isn’t optimal, so maybe…

How many times have you heard… “it’s not what you say, its how you say it” Like a bajillion or so right? Well its true. I truly believe and stand by the thought that people who can convoy complex thoughts into simple words are genius, or at least great speakers. And when you speak in…

Almost everything is an extension. An improvement or slight change. Few ideas are 100% original. We often feel something isn’t worth pursuing unless it is extraordinary. An incredible idea, completely original, never been done before… Very few things are. Don’t be afraid to do ordinary things in an extraordinary way.
