Less is more.

Less is more. My acting teacher in high school, who I deeply looked up to, would always tell us: “Move only to improve on stillness; speak only to improve on silence” Every action needed to have intent behind it.

Grades and knowledge

I think one of the worst things about modern education is our obsession with numbers and test grades. I know for a fact that some people get 4.0s (perfect grades) but that doesn’t necessarily reflect their knowledge or proficiency in certain subjects, because they picked easy courses and lenient professors who are often easy graders Continue reading

Google Chrome

People who use Google Chrome, compared to internet explorer or other default browsers, are 15% more successful at their job.

Some things you just can’t explain

Finding time
It’s been 2 weeks since I started working full time at R3. Every day, 9-5 But really, it’s more like 8-8 Because I have to get up around 8, and by the time I finish work (I always stay overtime… this is bad), eat dinner, and commute back home, it’ll be 8 in the evening. Don’t Continue reading
