Let’s take this example so commonly used by other people to prove this point. If they use it, it’s probably real so I’m going to use it too because I’m too lazy to think about a new one. Let’s say that you are a very hard worker in your company and you have excellent... Continue Reading →
Now let’s get to something spicy: On a daily basis, what makes me angry and why? This question can help us identify the main sources that change our mood on a daily basis. Anger is one of our basic emotions so it has a great potential to make our day worse. When... Continue Reading →

Provided by Reginald Spittle from carryoncouple As I read Fighting the Inside Dragons, I was half a world away from Bogdan Ignat, but his book made me feel like he was sitting in my living room, sharing his wisdom in a casual, conversational way.

Today is the Christmas Day so it’s that time of the year to give presents and everything (I don’t know why we need a time of the year for this, but anyway… we probably need something external to make us be nice with each other)! I hope you will have the best holidays of... Continue Reading →
