But I’d only recommend reading two out of the three. — Here’s what you’ll be reading. I’ve taken the most personally impactful idea from three books that cost less than $20 on Amazon. Maybe they’re relevant to you; perhaps they’re not. But since you’re here already, there’s no harm in scrolling down and checking them out. Maybe an idea will catch…

Writing frequently will not guarantee success, but not doing so will guarantee failure. — At the beginning of the month, my top article had accumulated just over 350 views. By the end of the month, I had an article that has amassed over 15K views and counting. I posted ten articles in that month. Six were curated by Medium. Two of them were distributed…

Intentional flow sessions, working in public environments, and group work. — I gained a lot from my university experience. I learned to be independent. I made lifelong friends. I developed a pretty strong caffeine addiction. At the end of it all, I earned a $50,000 piece of paper with my name written on it. As they say, universities don’t prepare you…

How I leveraged a simple philosophy to help reframe hard decisions. — One of life’s paradoxes is that the most straightforward decisions are often the hardest to make.

I would light up the fireplace, my mom would order pizza, my brother would make milkshakes, and we’d all argue with my dad whenever he tried to invent…

My experiences after getting my first large, visible tattoo. — I remember the moment the needle touched my skin for the first time. I was bare-chested, reclined on an uncomfortable leather chair. Even though my eyes were closed, I could feel the artist’s face getting closer to my body. My palms were sweating, and I clenched my jaw as I…

Setting goals, cardio, and self-care during a pandemic. — Among the outcomes of COVID-19 was my own selfish issue — a set of fitness plans left unfulfilled and ruined by the gym closures. Fitness was a significant part of my life. I would go to the gym five times per week. On average, my workouts were 90 minutes long…

From one guy to another, we need to educate ourselves. — I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou. I read this book in 2010, when I was 15 years old.
