Most of us have never wondered about such things but I love this! I knew the answer to it when I heard it being asked from a famous actor and now, I am taking it for my own. My action…
Don’t over-analyze either. Recently, I’ve had many students mention how they are afflicted with this and lose sleep as a result. Imagine it? What to do? How can we function throughout our days in such a dangerous state? When I…
I listened to an episode of Akimbo yesterday. A podcast by Seth Godin who is basically my inspiration for most professional endeavors these days. With consistency he delivers always the right amount of inspiration, which is a reminder to keep…
