If you have a love-hate relationship with the Internet, with other words, if you are on the Internet, this article is for you.
We all know that there’s a value exchange for everything in this world. Similar to the principle of action and reaction, nothing is free in this world. Or at least 100% free.
The Internet, especially lately, seems to bring to the surface or even amplify this whole situation. We see it everywhere.
There are very few websites that guarantee your ownership of your posts and data entered or published there. Unfortunately, most of the online platforms out…
After attending Princeton University for a couple of years, in 1939, Alan Turing returned to England just before the Second World War and went to work for the British Cryptanalytic Headquarters at Bletchley Park, in Milton Keynes.
At this Allied code-breaking centre, Alan Turing and his team managed to crack The Enigma. This consists of various German codes through which they communicated on the battlefields, skies and oceans.
Turing’s pivotal role in helping the Allies during World War II coincided with the period when he used his ability to see patterns and equations to shape what would later be called…
She told me they decided that they were only going to give me two more weeks. If I didn’t meet my targets, they were going to fire me.
At that moment, I thought my whole world was going to collapse. I felt betrayed, attacked, and more insecure than I had ever been.
Little did I know that on that day, I was about to discover parts of myself that I didn’t even know I would have. Hidden motivations and unsuspected skills.
Once I entered the door of my house, I threw myself in bed, and all I was able to…
It’s 6 AM in the morning. The noise made by my parents awakens me. I know I have to wake up too. In two hours, I have to be at school.
We were going to have a math test. I feel like going back to sleep only when I think about it. Encouraging myself, I yawn a few times, and I go to eat.
My parents were almost ready to leave. Our kitchen TV was running the morning news. I’ve always hated the news. However, they always said, “Leave them. We need to hear what’s going on.” My family was…
Doing something just for the sake of doing it will not make you more successful. Sometimes, to be aware of a certain thing, you have to hear it over and over again.
Nowadays, we live in a false and boastful world. Many people want to appear what they are not. They buy things they don’t need to impress people who don’t care about them. And things will get even worse before they get better.
The other day I watched a documentary about a wealthy and famous man. …
They say that in life, you don’t get what you want, you get what you need. Then what’s the point of wanting something?
The other day, during my lunch break, I went outside for a short walk. After a long time, I felt the sun warming my skin again.
The streets were empty.
Can you believe it? I was in the middle of a city with over 10 million inhabitants, but it was quiet enough to hear my footsteps on that narrow street.
It was beautiful.
I never imagined living in such a big city with so many opportunities.
Without…
Why do you want to live a better life?
What motivates you to be great and to work harder every day?
Why not choose to be happy with what you already have, instead?
I know. This is a tricky one.
I’ve gone back and forth on this, but I still tend toward striving to become better at something and, sure, reaping the worldly benefits that come with it. And yet, why is this so?
Some life experiences can only be learned from attempting to excel in something. Most of us go through life questioning our future.

Every now and then, we meet new people with whom we like to talk to. People with whom we feel comfortable. People with whom we feel safe to share our thoughts and ideas. People with whom we are people too.
But have you ever wonder if you know how to listen to them? Where would the conversation have gone if you had intervened less and listened more? What about if you would have known how to ask the right questions at the right time?
Many times, listening to others, it’s an exciting thing to do. Especially when they have some…

It’s 2021.
You see everywhere around you talented and successful people. At first glance, it seems that whatever they do, they succeed.
As if the online has made all these people gain supernatural powers.
On Instagram, every single photo is a true work of art. Every person you follow is a model from Men’s Health or Vogue.
On Snapchat, every person’s life seems to be much more animated than yours.
