For most of you, waking up is a routine. You literally do it without actually “waking up”. You can sleepwalk through your “Good morning” greetings, your daily hygiene routines, and complete most of your morning chores without being fully conscious. However, I’m here to tell you that you’ve missed something magical when...

We are all human, and as dramatically different as we pretend to be, we are very much the same. That’s why a blog can attract so many viewers, or why sports teams have such a huge fan base. It’s even why medicine can be mass-produced, because we are so similar genetically and socially for that matter. We face similar life circumstances,...

You feel great. You have a topic you want to write about and you do what any writer does, you start writing. Hours pass and you are still on the first couple of paragraphs that seem more like a collage of standalone topics that were haphazardly coupled together.

If you bumped into a handicap genie who said, “Sorry, I can only grant you one wish, and that one wish is complete and legal access to Donald Trump’s bank account”, I do not have to ask what your one wish would be.
