Why You are Less Likely to Achieve Your New Years Resolution

I’m usually an advocate of not keeping any new years resolution. It’s because we are less likely to accomplish any goals when we keep a specific date to start. Inspiration and motivation might hit you anytime, and it usually happens at random periods. If inspiration and motivation hits you today, then start right away. If […]

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 […]

How Trying to Hide Your Failure Will Make You Unsuccessful

I didn’t publish a blog post this Friday. I felt really bad because I have been posting every Friday for more than a year. As soon as I missed this Friday, I felt guilty and bad. I had a mix of negative emotions all over my body. It was my goal to post every Friday […]

Here’s Why You Might Never Succeed

I can give you mediocre advice on almost anything. I have been consuming lots of resources and materials from the internet through ebooks, blogs, podcasts, videos and whatnot. I am to the point where I can give you mediocre advice on business, social dynamics, marketing, life, psychology, philosophy, writing, programming, web design etc. But really, […]

How to Not Fall Short on Your Goals

I resisted eating sweets and sugar for a long time. I was even comfortable avoiding it. But today, I ate lots of sweets. Today morning I had lots of sweets in my kitchen. I went there, couldn’t resist, just ate it up like crazy. Now that I’ve ate it, I feel bad. I ate everything […]

Underlying Principles are Counterintuitive

Whenever I sit down to write a good blog post, I write the most horrible blog post. Whenever I want something and run after it, I don’t get it. Maybe sometimes I will, but mostly it’s not so easy. I learned to touch type fast so that I could increase my typing speed and get […]

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 […]
