It amazes me how many people are still working 60, 80, 100+ hours per week at their corporate job — no matter how much they “love it”. I used to be one of these workaholics not long ago — constantly working on busy work, things that I thought were mission critical, urgent, hyper-important, or that needed to be done … Continue reading Whose time?

I persevere, I also quit
Most of my friends know I can be the most consistent, disciplined and resilient person in their circle of friends. But only my closest friends know that when I lose interest in something, be it a particular subject, sport, relationship, or game, I don’t beat around the bush before deciding to quit it altogether. I’ve … Continue reading I persevere, I also quit
Blah, blah, blah
Most people simply want to be understood. Some want to be heard and supported, whereas others want to rant about life, relationships, or work –or how awesome or shitty their life is. Nothing wrong with any of these. I think we all need someone that lends a shoulder or ear for support at some point … Continue reading Blah, blah, blah
Getting things clear
Staying honest with yourself will be painful and hurt now, tomorrow and in a week, but will make you feel better months or years when you decide to look back. Look. If you feel like what you are doing is not what you truly want out from like, then take action. Stop procrastinating. Time will … Continue reading Getting things clear
Time is a constant
Whether you do one or many things in a period of time, time will always move — always forward, never backwards. It’s one of few things that lies outside of our control. You can choose to only work for a company for three years and three years will pass by. Or you can decide to work for … Continue reading Time is a constant

Let’s begin saying that it was a tremendously good yet challenging year; went through a handful of ups and downs, recovered and stood up stronger and more resilient than ever before, and learned from … Continue reading Wrapping up 2017 🎊
First impressions
They’re mostly wrong. I understand you might be wondering why. Let me clarify. The first time you see something or meet someone, you get an extreme image from that object, experience, or person, so you make up your mind and decide that is it. It’s either very good or very bad. There’s not something in … Continue reading First impressions
Why bother
When people talk about you is because you’re doing something — whether good or bad, that’s up to you. If it’s the latter, why bother fighting back if you know you’ve done something bad or wrong? Lose no time arguing and use that time to fix it or improve so future times are better. Similarly, when people … Continue reading Why bother
To be a good one
We weren’t born being a good person, or good at anything to be honest. We have learned on our way with methods such as trial and failing, formal and informal education, books and videos, and especially from people that have crossed our path. Nobody was born being a good person, student, teacher, instructor, runner, sports … Continue reading To be a good one
Everybody wins, everybody loses
That’s what teamwork is all about. A group of people who trust and keeps each other accountable working together to achieve one common goal. When this is true, egos should be checked out at the door, so the team can eventually accomplish its peak performance. And no matter what the results are, the whole team … Continue reading Everybody wins, everybody loses
