The Universe Will Give You What You Expect

Have you ever noticed that [...]

Mind Maintenance And Optimization

One of the basic human needs is a sense of significance. We need to feel that we are somebody, that we matter and that we are important. That need is so great that it gets to define whom we are, how we interact with others and most of our behavior.

Exposing The Nature Of Regrets And Remorse

Some very wise man said, “Regret is insight that comes a day too late.” That wise man could also have added that regret is probably the most useless emotion under the face of the Earth. It is disempowering and serves no good purpose.

The Making of a Champion

Champions are not born, they are made, self-made. They are self-made and they share a common trait; they all want to win more than anybody else… there lays their main secret.
