I just read a couple of comments that made me think. Let's start with this: we live in a world that's 100 percent connected, 100 percent of the time. If the internet ended, tomorrow, for whatever reason, we'd all be doomed. If you're reading this,...

There are at least three things I never do that people apparently still do. And that surprised me. But hey, it's a free world, and people are free to walk into trouble. 1. I never pick up numbers I don't recognise, especially outside of WhatsApp...

"Are you happy? Maybe that's not the thing to aim for. I thought the North Star of our lives is to aim to be happy." "Aim to be good and pray for happiness." "How am I doing? Brilliantly and terribly. You know when you listen to a profound piece of...

How would I rank today in the top 10 of worst days I ever had? Good question. I'm gonna thank myself for asking. I had two major accidents in my life. The first one broke my limbs, the second nearly killed me. So yeah, those two days are worse, we'...
