Quick and easy vs slow and tough

Fast food, quick meal, short discussion, easy money. Don’t you think that we are becoming lazier? Yes, technology plays its role to make life better and simpler. But it also makes us lazier. Don’t you think so? I bumped into a colleague and we were discussing about fruit. We have one thing in common, we are lazy to peel the fruit skin so we chose fruits which don’t require extra effort, for example banana. In our busy life, most of […]

When will I be happy?

Are you happy right now? Have you ever ask yourself, what are the things that make you happy? Have you obtain those things which make you happy? Or are you still looking for it?

And the beauty of it is, you can never expect that you will get the same […]

Sometimes life will give you what you need and not what you want

If someone asked you, name 3 things that you want to have right now and it can be anything. What answer would you give? I’m sure, we have bottomless wishes or things that we want to have in life. Whether it’s a status, money or (maybe) someone?

Learning from Janet Jackson

Yesterday, I listened to a podcast of Morgan Piers show where he’s interviewing Janet Jackson. Like all others celebrities, Janet also shares some of her secrets of her life. So, it’s very enjoying breakfast to listen to the “soft” voice of Morgan Piers and Janet Jackson. (I’m not trying to promote any apps) You can try to download “Stitcher” it’s a podcast app where you can find a lot of online podcast (mostly) from US. Here are some of the […]
