  • Less is more.

    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. Because when you are on stage, in front of the whole world, everyone can see you. Continue reading

  • Grades and knowledge

    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

  • See the good

    See the good

    Adam Grant did an experiment in his book “Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives our Success” He asked employees of a company what % of the workers do they believe steal/have stolen from the company? He found that people who often answered this question with high %’s, believing their colleagues were thieves, generally meant Continue reading

  • How much risk are you willing to take?

    How much risk are you willing to take?

    In investments, the younger you are, the most risk you are meant to take. In life, the risks you take are what builds character and personality. It’s how we grow. That’s advice given to us from wiser, educated people who have more life experience. They say the greatest risk in life is to not take Continue reading

  • Hey…Can we talk?

    Otherwise known as one of the quickest ways to scare someone through a text by making them irrationally invent scenarios that could follow that message. Also another example of why short, concise, messages, filled with intent and straightforwardness, can be very powerful. Continue reading

  • The problem with problems

    The problem with problems

    One thing that we can always hold true to every person in this world is that we are connected by this plague that we call “problems.” Life’s problems are like weeds; after you pull one out, another will sprout just a few feet away. We created social media apps so we could solve the problem Continue reading

  • Google Chrome

    Google Chrome

    People who use Google Chrome, compared to internet explorer or other default browsers, are 15% more successful at their job. This is not because of Google Chrome being that much better (although many test studies show that Chrome statistically is better in terms of speed and performance, it is really negligible) The reason is this: People Continue reading

  • Some things you just can’t explain

    Bitcoin yesterday, along with many other cryptocurrencies, shot up 15% in value in the span of a few minutes. It was a huge spike. And I have no idea why. Most people have no idea why. And that’s because there probably is no concrete explanation. The only way such a spike could happen is if Continue reading

  • 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
