Rosy, red was bored. She was smart but had a habit of watching too much television. When it is turned off, that was when she really felt bored. Her toy basket was full of stuff that she didn't use anymore. Boring stuff. She had plenty of unread books on her shelf, but she was too bored to pick any of them. It wasn't rainy last night she could walk outside - But she was too bored. So, she sat on the couch and started complaining. Mother was cooking in the kitchen. "MOM, I am b

Mind is a stupid machine. Trust me, earlier I thought mind is a brilliant machine. That can identify everything, even engage in abstract thinking like mathematics, and quantum physics, until I saw some scientists teach a group of pigeons how to diagnose breast cancer, in the accuracy of a qualified pathologist. Mind seems to be a stupid machine with a pigeon brain. The average random access memory capacity to remember something is about seven seconds. But I agree it is remark

Yes. Lily White had a fight for the 100th time of the day. She was seen crying in the corner sobbing. It seems this time it was too much for her. "Why are you crying Lily?" Father asked.

Michel de Montaigne Philosophy. This famous philosopher from renaissance period from France is the one who popularized applying philosophy to live an ordinary life during his era (of course apart from Thales of Meletus). What use of philosophy is if it is not used to make lives better? Not just highly successful ones, but quite ordinary ones.

Defaults. What you do automatically are basically your default. What do you do when you wake up early in the morning? Just curse yourself for getting late? Then that is your default. How about the first app you start when you get your hands on your phone? YouTube? then that is your default. How about the first thing you say when you meet your loved ones in your kitchen in the morning? That is your default too. Defaults are powerful when properly planned and placed, but they c

Why you should be prepared to be a fool. Be a fool every day. Success is not about straight path. Everybody has a theory to how to be successful, yet only a handful of them from a thousand would ever reach enough success to fulfil their dreams.
