In fact, allow me to tell you that your feelings are completley overrated. They are unimportant. Look, there are only 2 reasons... Continue Reading →
“BANG!” The gun fires and the race is on. The runners take off across the field. It rained the day before and the ground is still damp. The temperature is cool. It is a perfect day for running. The line of runners quickly forms a pack. Like a school of fish they come together as... Continue Reading →
In one of my recent articles I published on this blog, people repeatedly commented they had no clue how to 'find their calling' or their 'passion'. I therefore though I'd provide people with some more advice to this. Now let's get one thing straight right here... 'find your passion' is the single most terrible piece... Continue Reading →
Why do you think humans are social animals? Looking forward to your answers, Max
Consider the story of two stonemasons. You walk up to the first stonemason and ask, 'Do you like your job?'.
