These seems the buzzword these days; mental health and your emotional wellbeing. Like many things in life, I have conflicting feelings about it. On one aspect, I think it is brandished around both as a crutch and also a flag. Some people say you shouldn’t push or being strict on someone (or them) because of…
Why is it when describing something, we babble and talk a lot without going to the point? It is because we don’t have a lot of time. It’s true. When we don’t have a lot of time, we tend to blabber a lot. Conversely, writing or talking concisely, requires a lot of thinking. A great…
My wife and I has been discussing how to let go certain things in parenting, i.e. to accept things for what they are and not too be stressed out with the kids. It all comes down to balance, on how much you are willing to close a blind eye and how much you want something…
I’ve never run a marathon. In fact, I barely run. But I have friends who run, and I am pretty sure you would do. If not, you can probably see from various social media posts about strangers who run marathons. I notice that from pictures of runners, that no one ever look good while running…

Today marks the day that I started working there (and a decade of working there, if I had stayed). I spent 8 years working there, and although I have left the place for…
In doing work and completing a project, that is. Sometimes it gets hard and things don’t seem to progress, that you start to let things slide. You would then lose the momentum, making it even harder to start again. So it is very important to keep going and not stopping. The question is, how to…
