Befriend People Two Steps Ahead of You

It makes more sense to consult people who’ve recently been on the same road block as you are about to face, instead of consulting people who’ve already reached the top of ladder. I’d rather read and follow people I know and who I can help instead of following successful people who I can’t even get […]

Don’t Help!

When I was in school, I would never try to solve problems by myself. I had a friend who would do it for me. Every time I was stuck on a math problem and couldn’t do it, I’d simply go to my friend. With time, I didn’t bother trying to solve problems by myself. I […]

When You Go Downhill on Your Goals

I used to write 750 words everyday. I slowly came down to 500. And then I didn’t write for some days. I then wrote again but couldn’t reach 750 words. I even struggled to reach 500 words. It’s funny, but at first, I started with 1000 words in mind. I had read ‘On Writing‘, a […]
