Is University Worth It?

During my lifetime I felt both thankful and regretful about getting my degrees and education. I know that many people, especially young professionals, go through a similar transition themselves. I want to use this post to illustrate my thoughts on formal education and try to answer if it’s worth it. Is a diploma worth it? …

Treat Your Life Like a Business

Some people got lucky and made millions. Some people were disciplined and got rich slowly. However, adopting certain principles can make us eliminate the factor of luck in business and in life.

Everything Sucks!

The grass is always greener on the other side. But is it really? What’s stopping you of crossing to the other side then? Why not build your own garden? Does it even matter under certain conditions?

I Live My Childhood Dream

Nostalgia. Catches all of us from time to time and makes us remember vividly how great the things once were.

Every single thing!” Okay, although I’d recommend to …
