We need to listen more and listen well too. A lot is being said in silence which would take only a patient heart, an understanding mind and the sensitivity to deduce.  A lot of people have gone into their shells because the ways of the world have b...

A lot of people think they know it all and that's why they won't even ask another person for help even when their life depends on it due to pride. The first step to humility is knowing that you don't know everything. You have to consider your limit...

Tulips that give us color and hope

19 Jan 2022 2 minute read 14 comments Duvinca

There are gray days, in which the clouds not only hide the sun but also our spirits, we do not feel any energy, we move by inertia without thinking much more. Our entire routine is automatic, we do the same thing between four walls, and crossing asp...

I find it amusing when people focus too much on themselves but one thing they don't understand is that too much focus on yourself is a sign of low self-esteem. You know when the product is good, you don't need to convince people too much. I am not...
