Let’s be honest here, we all have the mask of insecurity. People are usually unaware that they wear this mask. They thought that this mask is their true identity but it's not. We can see this on social media, a lot of people are posting great picture of themselves pretending that they are happy but deep inside they know that they are using this platform to mask their real-life problems. Most of them are sad, depressed, anxious and insecure but they don’t know why. Social medi

Life is like a book. Every year we celebrate birthdays which marks as a new chapter of our life. Life changing decisions are also considered as a new chapter. We often forget that we have limited time. We distract ourselves with delusions and pleasure to make us happy. Unfortunately this method backfires and puts a hole in our life. When this happens, we keep searching for answers. We are looking for ways to cover this hole but we forget that the only way to fix this is to em

We love the idea of a life with no stress but is it possible? Can it be accomplished? Or is it just another idea given to us by our noisy and destructive society? The truth is it is impossible to achieve such feat. The rich got money problems. Having more money doesn’t mean happiness. In fact, wealthier people are more prone to depression and stress because of what they have. Look at how families are dismantled because of money problems. If money is the key to a stress-free a

We all know who Leonardo Da Vinci is. Born in a gray stone tenant cottage next to a farmhouse two miles up the road from Vinci, Leonardo was lucky that he was born out of wedlock. His father never recognized him as a legitimate son which affected him throughout his lifetime. If he were considered as legitimate, then he would be a notary just like his siblings and ancestors. Leonardo didn’t have a formal education like the other great people and artists. This was another advan

We’ve heard the news and experienced the catastrophic internet event that happened yesterday. The social media group of Facebook shut down for hours, and people who are hooked into these apps have no idea what to do. Some of them used Twitter to share their own thoughts and opinions about this “shutdown.” We can use this shutdown as a lesson and a reminder that we are so hooked into these apps. We waste so much time by scrolling up and down, comparing our lives, giving away o

Our society is bombarding us with advertisements every day. They tell us what we should buy, they tell us what we should own. They show us their product is better than its competitors. These advertisers do that because they understand basic human psychology. They know that when we hear or see these images and messages, we are attracted to it. Look at our society right now. People are becoming slaves to materialism. Do materialism and more money bring us happiness? The answer

The world we live in today is always moving. Every morning people rush going to their jobs while others go to schools. Every night people are rushing to go home to spend some quality time with their family. In our life, we all know that every minute counts. We can’t go back in time. We can only move forward. Since people are always busy, they forget one of the most important qualities in life. They forget to become mindful, they don’t stay present all the time. When we talk

In the creative world, we live in today becoming a professional is a must. What I mean by professional is a standard or an ideal. A lot of people usually say to themselves and to their peers and co-workers that they are professionals, but they don’t act like one. These people are amateurs. To be clear: once we get a paycheck and a job. We are professionals. However, there is a difference between a professional and an amateur. There is a space in between that divides them. We

Recently I just finished reading Shoe Dog: A Memoir by Phil Knight. This book is one of the best books I read so far. Shoe Dog gave a roller coaster of emotions, and it left me inspired to execute my great idea. Phil Knight’s journey started in 1962 when he decided to talk to his father about his dream of traveling around the world and his Crazy Idea. He wanted to explore different kinds of culture, environment, taste other kinds of foods, climb the Himalayas and execute his

What is school for? A simple question that has a wide range of answers that involves money, time, and exploration. Is school still a place for learning not memorizing? Is it a place of developing great ideas? Is it a place to pasteurize out dangerous ideas? Is it still a place of free speech? Do schools develop creativity and critical thinking? Does it help the student find a purpose and passion in life? Are schools too focused on grades rather than discovery and personal gro

In baseball, home runs are the most celebrated part of the game. Just by swinging your bat with your maximum effort you can score and hopefully win the game. While there is another strategy that baseball teams use to score home runs which is “small ball” - an offensive plan to get a lot of singles, placing runners on a base and then advancing them into scoring position for a run. This tactic is used by baseball teams because it is more efficient, less risk and requires a coll

A lot of us are confused when we are building our careers or starting up a business, we always ask ourselves “What is my job?” “What am I here for?”. The answer is your job is to make art. It doesn’t necessarily mean you have to paint every now and then. What I mean by art is doing work that matters. Art changes our world. Art defines our generation. Look at our ancestors what did they leave us? It’s all art. From hieroglyphics, pyramids, inventions, stadiums, monuments, stat

Throughout our lifetime we will face a particular event that requires a decision. This decision will have a massive effect on us as it can boost our careers, reach success or fail from achieving our goals. When we want to start a project or a business, quit our job to start doing what we love, have meaningful life and relationships it all comes down to making a decision.

Wasting our precious time is so fun right? We enjoy wasting it by doing unmeaningful things. Watching cat videos are fun, searching for memes are fun, catching up with latest gossips is fun (for you). Maybe you are one of the people who always talks about people behind their backs. Maybe you like wasting your time by numbing yourself with alcohol or smoke bunch of cigarettes, believing that it could heal your stress and depression. Maybe I just summed up your personality. Don
