You Can Find Time If You Want To
“I didn’t have time.” It’s probably one of the most common excuses we hear—and one of the strangest. If you pause and think about it, time wasn’t taken away from us. Every one of us gets the same twenty-four hours. What we usually mean is something else: “I didn’t prioritize it.” That sentence is less…

The Last Job AI Can’t Take
A few decades ago, the world sped up and we were happy to run. The dot-com years pulled us online, and it felt like progress — faster work, faster money, faster everything. We didn’t mind. We chose it. But the speed never settled. It only compounded. Now AI is accelerating life faster than we can…

The Stories We Live By
It matters what story you tell yourself. That story eventually becomes a fundamental truth—a philosophy for your life. It gives you a reason, and maybe even a meaning, to live. I call it a story because no one truly knows the truth. Philosophers, scientists, religious thinkers, and rulers have spent centuries trying to understand reality.…

Finding Mojo back
More than a decade ago, I read a book called Mojo. The book was about finding your mojo back—finding your inspiration, energy, or perhaps even yourself again. At the time, I did not understand the premise. How could someone lose their mojo in the first place? I felt completely connected to who I was. The…

Hope Is Underrated
We hit the gym because we hope to feel better. We brush our teeth because we hope to smell better. We take a bath because we hope to feel fresh. These don’t feel like hope because they almost always work. But they are still hope—just backed by strong evidence. When hope repeats enough times, we…

Seattle to vegas roadtrip
We completed our third major road trip in the United States. Roughly 2,600 miles, 6 states, temperatures ranging from 40°F to 110°F, and our longest single-day drive touching nearly 850 miles. It was a combination of mountain towns, isolated highways, state parks, deserts, and cities — though the center of the trip was clearly Las…

A Fake Image Doesn’t Last Forever
Stalin’s Famine (1932–1933): Under Joseph Stalin, the Soviet Union forced farmers into collective farms and seized grain to fund industrial growth, but the policy backfired as agricultural output fell and millions were left without food. Instead of acknowledging failure, the state continued taking grain—even exporting it—while suppressing reports of famine and restricting movement so starving…

Importance of a Table and Chair
The place where you work shapes the quality of your focus. Today, I see young adults increasingly using their beds and sofas to work on laptops or to read books. If you watch older movies, people usually had a table and chair to do their work. Pop culture now, in the name of convenience and…

Just Do It Anyways
The author reflects on the struggle between overthinking and taking action, emphasizing that one can engage in beneficial activities despite disliking them. By illustrating personal experiences like attending classes and skiing, the message is clear: taking action, even when hesitant, fosters growth and helps develop positive habits, reducing future regret.

Digital Addiction and Child Growth: What Parents Must Understand
I recently watched two 10-year-old kids sitting together in a room. They were physically close, yet completely disconnected—both on their own devices. No conversation. No play. No curiosity about each other’s presence. What worried me was not just the silence, but how normal it seemed to them. I had to enter the room deliberately to…
