In a 2018 interview with New England Public Media, Michael B. Jordan, with a B, talked about how his name influenced his life. He said that growing up, he was consistently teased by his friends for having the same name as basketball superstar, Michael Jordan. But according to him, this caused him to become very competitive and hard working so that he could be greater than Air Jordan. Michael B...
I was walking to school the other day when I realized, I had never actually counted the amount of time it took me to walk there. So on that day, I counted, second per second. And based on my calculations, it took me an average of 10 minutes to walk to school with a moderate pace. But it made me wonder, if I could walk to school in 10 minutes, then what about the 10 minutes I spend slacking off...
Raise your hand if you want to be rich. Except for the two emo kids in the back, I’d like to bet that you raised your hand. Who doesn’t want to be rich? Honestly. Everyone wants to be able to buy that porsche, that rolex, or that phone. The idea of working hard to get rich is encrypted into our DNA, it’s part of what makes us who we are. But me personally, I don’t want to...
A few nights ago I was in my room alone after an argument with my mother. We’d disagreed about the trash littering my desk, and how a few plastic bottles ruined the view. Of course, I immediately sought out to prove myself correct. “I was planning on throwing them out later!” “That’s why you need to buy me a private garbage can!” Soon, this argument has...
Did you know that it takes 23 minutes to regain focus once lost. How long it takes to lose focus? 1 second. Throughout our day we are constantly bombarded with notifications, emails, and videos to entertain. And a silent killer is the fact that we check or review them in the middle of work, or worse, during the work. But did you know that averting focus to checking just one notification can...
I’m not good at sports. In every sport I’ve played, I have never been better than the so called “average”. In basketball, I make 1 out of 35 shot attempts, and in soccer, I rarely score a goal. So seeing myself fall so in love with the game of golf was really odd. Where in other sports I lacked the physicality, I made up for with technique with golf. Every ball I hit, whether it flew or fled...

As you step into your new office, you see executives to your left and right, sharp suits, fast conversations, confident strides. You’re the new guy. Your boss gives you a polite smile and a simple directive: “Get started.” You spend the day running small errands like grabbing coffee, transferring files, basically, helping wherever you can. And one thing becomes clear: you’re not the...
It’s 11 pm, and you’re lying in bed, mind racing with thoughts of them. Every small detail about them captivates you: the way their hair moves in the wind, the sparkle in their eyes when they walk into the room, the effortless charm in their smile. You can’t help but replay the moments you’ve shared, and each one leaves you feeling more drawn in. That is until you realize;...
Are you happy? Let me rephrase that. Have you ever been happy? And I’m not talking about the the short-lived rush after a good grade or a perfect selfie, but the kind of happiness that lingers. The kind that doesn’t need you to announce that you truly are happy. Think about all the new habits you’ve tried. The morning routines. The strict diets. The journal prompts.Did any of them really...
