Whoa, My Dog Is Teaching Me The Meaning Of Life
Let me introduce you to Lady, a ten-year-old cocker who’s been my buddy for a while now. Before meeting her, I often viewed dogs as simple beings that chased after balls and bothered people while they eat. However, Lady has taught me more about life than any self-help guru ever could.

This Is Why My Blog Is Dying
Oh wow, another week’s passed, and I’m once again writing my weekly post at the last possible minute. If I’m honest, this workflow hasn’t been the best for my blog growth.

You’re Not Stupid, You Just Learn Differently
I never cooked anything beyond instant noodles till I was about 30 years old. I did try at a younger age, but I managed to mix up cooking oil and lemon cordial. Don’t ask me how. All I remember was the confusion I got when the ‘oil’ turned sticky. Later on in life, I gave… — read more

You Know Those Tiny Failures You Face Every Day? They Could Change Very Well Change Your Life.
We always hear about how important it is to learn from our failures. Or, more importantly, how we should always see failure as a pathway to self-improvement. But failure here often conjures images of that time you froze up on stage, or when you’d sat for an exam only to realise you’d accidentally left a… — read more
