I used to have a really bad habit. I would read a lot of ‘how-to’ books (especially in the area of self-help) and try to memorize the things they told me to do. It only made sense right? If you learn the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and perform them, you should be highly effective. Recently I was re-reading through the 7 Habits which I initially began to read (and gave up on) in early 2011, and noticed a lot of the things I highlighted were the things I...

When I think about my grandparents, I think about survival. I’m sure many of you can relate with 2 World Wars, and many others in-between. I still remember a story of my grandfather being kicked out of Uganda pretty much at gunpoint during the mass exodus of South Asians ordered by Idi Amin back in the 70s. He, and many others in the same generation, survived the struggle. Then it was my parent’s time, their goal was to provide. Coming to Canada with very little...

purpose
When you think about it, back in the day the goal of the game seemed to be about making the most money. The person with the most profit ‘wins’.

Sweet! Fulfilled and good, he began to find getting better at being good took a lot of effort and a lot of...

Over the years I’ve garnered a lot of hatred for Valentines Day. I mean common, the consumeristic holiday that has you paying double for material things that are supposed to symbolize something that should be given all year round. Yup, for many years I’ve hated a day that’s dedicated to love. Go figure. This morning something hit me like a ton of bricks though. I hate Valentines Day because I hate being ‘alone’ on it. Yup, there you have it the...
