    I’m 35!

    Feb 5th is a special day to me, and to all those who love me, because it is my birthday! People seem to have a love/hate relationship with their birthdays from what I can see these days. Long ago, when I was a bit younger, I remember friends being excited and very happy and nothing…

    Ego is a Disease!

    It is astounding sometimes to see how people go about their daily lives without them acknowledging their inner powers.

    What’s Your University Major?

      So many people graduate from universities and the first thing they do is look for a job that fits exactly what they have spent 4 or more years studying. How realistic is that?
