Happy Sunday! I’m pretty psyched because I’m featured in today’s edition of the Sunday Times, in an article about young investors. 🙂 First, a funny story about the article: I knew it was going to be published today, but I had absolutely no freakin’ idea how it was gonna turn out because I hadn’t seen […]
So I was giving a talk at my old junior college, encouraging final-year seniors to apply to an overseas college like Penn. After the talk, a student came up to me and asked how he could afford the tuition fees for an expensive US education. “Well,” I said, “Maybe you could apply for a scholarship?”
What’s the number one excuse people give for not pursuing their own awesome personal projects? “I don’t have enough time.” We spend 8-12 hours a day working at the office.

(The original challenge was for 7 nights, but I later increased it to 10 just because
I have an unbroken record when it comes to iPhone covers – I’ve managed to successfully scratch and maul every single one that has ever passed through my hands. This includes my most recent one, which lasted all of 3 months before it turned into one heck of a hot mess. So last week, I
I have the sleeping habits of a 65-year old. No, really. Stop laughing. My girlfriend makes fun of me endlessly for it. On weeknights, I totally need to be in bed by midnight, or I’d be so grumpy and unproductive the next morning that I’d make the Grinch look like a cute, fluffy, green bunny.
Success! I’ve managed to successfully stay away from caffeinated coffee for the past two weeks. Sure, it was a pain in the ass at times, but this was probably one of the best decisions I’ve made in weeks. You can check out the full objectives of this LifeTest in the original log here. So why did I
