Do the most successful people work the hardest? Think about your co-workers in your office – I’m willing to bet that the guy who stays late every day isn’t the guy who’s most likely to get promoted. I’m not saying that it’s bad to work hard – it’s ok to obsess about your work sometimes […]
Hellooooooo I’m back! Sorry for being away for so long (my previous post explains why), but I’m back and I’m so happy to see you. Gimme a hug! (Okay Lionel, you need to calm down.) We’ve got a lot to catch up on, but since it’s the New Year, let’s talk about how to kick

Okkaayyy! As you know, I just came back from a 2-week vacay to the US of A. I spent some time with my girlfriend at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I drank delicious butterbeer, and bought one of those ridiculously-expensive interactive wands for US$50: The REAL magic, however, happened after I came back from vacation and
