Expect Friction on new journeys!
The excitement to start a new year resolution, to learn a new skill, a language or even a new diet plan fires us up. On the first day of graduate school or in a gym, we are in an ecstatic state, looking and thinking only about the end goal and the successful people in their respective domains. A good starting point indeed! …
Being disciplined when the amounts are small.
It seems very natural to assume that, “If I had a million dollars, I would invest in a healthy diet, join a valuable charitable club, invest more in educational material or books…”. On the other hand, it appears very normal to us when we hear of successful people having good health habits, being early risers, punctual and maybe even true to their words.

The reason I was struggling to even read the equation on the screen was that my eyes were teary and that made everything blurry. Now even though …
COUNTERING PROCRASTINATION WITH ONE-EYED VISION
Almost everyone would agree that procrastination is their nemesis. Procrastination disrupts one’s plans for the day, week or even years depending on the level of it. The swimming lessons that you always wanted to take but never took them or the schedule that you never failed to prepare before the start of your academic year but unfortunately failed consistently to actually implement it; they were all victims of your procrastination! …
Your time is worth $50 per hour!
Time is money. We have all heard it, haven’t we? But how much truth is there in that phrase? Some estimates state that the worth of an average hour for a teenager or an adult is about $50 per hour. Without indulging in economic correctness straightaway, let’s look at some implications of this idea. …
