Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void, but out of chaos. Mary Shelley (this article is written from the standpoint of a single person. In this context chaos means unpredictability in your personal life, not world anarchy). In life you have billions of potential axes of improvement. You can improve you...

“Can you teach courage?” “No. You can’t teach it. You can only show people how good it feels to be free.” – Natan Sharansky Freedom is not the easiest concept to grasp. From the very important things in life, it’s the most invisible one. Here’s why: If you have freedom and always had it, you can’t imagine y...
