When you have been an entrepreneur for a sufficient amount of time, you become accustomed to having doors shut in your face. To the point where you no longer waste time being emotional about the closed door; rather, you move on to the next possible door… until one door opens, or until you decide to…
I still see great value in reading for both entertainment and education. Some novels are riveting from the very first page, while others make you put them down not because they are uninteresting [though some certainly are] but because of the profound impact they have had on you. Here is my reading list for November:…
I must confess, I haven't really known much about Viola Davis except for one or two movies I have seen of her before. It was not until I watched Fences and Woman King that I thought I should read her book. There are a lot of valuable lessons that can be picked up from Viola…
In a stunning and unforgettable incident, Vincent Aboubakar from Cameroon gets sent off after taking off his shirt to celebrate scoring a goal against Brazil at the 2022 Fifa World Cup.

I keep being reminded that what we really need is more kindness rather than more material possessions. When in doubt, always err on the side of kindness.
"Show me someone with no ego and I’ll show you a big loser.” – Donald Trump or “More the knowledge lesser the ego, lesser the knowledge more the ego.” – Albert Einstein Which one of these ideas do you believe in? I lean towards the latter than the former. Because of this, I've come to realize that…
