• If you always go northeast, where will you end up?

    If you always go northeast, where will you end up?

    The title of the post is puzzle – I recently stumbled upon one in an old printed book. The answer wasn’t obvious. In fact, it irritated me. I kept turning it over in my head. But when I finally got it, the feeling wasn’t just satisfaction – it was recognition. See, solving the puzzle wasn’t…

  • Wash your fruits – you’ll thank me later

    Wash your fruits – you’ll thank me later

    In my last post, a lot of people commented that some folks are way too paranoid about washing fruit – like bananas or oranges (honestly, I’m still surprised by how a single sentence can spark a completely different discussion). I mean, you’re peeling them anyway, right? Plus, a little bacteria might actually help your immune…

  • They Hijacked Our Flow State

    They Hijacked Our Flow State

    They stole our flow state – and turned it into a business model. You know that feeling – when you’re so immersed in a project that you forget to eat, or when you’re in deep work and time just disappears? That’s flow. It used to be about creativity and effortless immersion. Now, it’s been engineered…

  • Mentorship, Mastery, and AI: The Real Way to Learn Code

    Mentorship, Mastery, and AI: The Real Way to Learn Code

    Back in the day, if you wanted to master a craft, you found someone who had already walked the path. Blacksmiths, artists, engineers – they all learned through mentorship. Skills weren’t just taught, they were absorbed. You’d watch, ask questions, try, fail, and try again. No shortcuts. No magic formulas. Just real learning, passed from…

  • Marshmallow Test and Parenting

    Marshmallow Test and Parenting

    Today, when my 1.9-year-old daughter tried to grab and eat an unwashed orange, I asked her to give it to me so I could wash and peel it if she could wait for a moment. She did. It got me thinking about the marshmallow experiment, where the idea was that patience equals success. But ……

  • Why Entrepreneurs Fail

    Why Entrepreneurs Fail

    Entrepreneurs fail because they start their journey wearing the wrong hat. I’m talking about the roles they play – entrepreneur, manager, and technician. Each one is vital, yet most people only focus on one, especially in the beginning. If this sounds familiar, it’s because Michael E. Gerber breaks this concept down brilliantly in his book…

  • Your Product Isn’t Special, and That’s Okay

    Your Product Isn’t Special, and That’s Okay

    Let me guess – you’ve got this “game-changing” idea for a product. It’s the next big thing, right? You’re about to disrupt the industry, redefine the way we live… except… you’re not. At least, not yet. Here’s the truth: your product isn’t special. Your “vision”? It’s not revolutionary. And honestly, that’s okay. Because building something…

  • Stuck? Try Walking It Off

    Stuck? Try Walking It Off

    Ever feel like you’ve hit a creative wall, just sitting there waiting for inspiration that never shows up? Maybe, like me, you’ve realized that creativity doesn’t like to be boxed in – it loves movement, fresh air, and a change of scenery. For me, morning walks have become this little ritual – a way to…

  • Are We About to Enter Another AI Winter?

    Are We About to Enter Another AI Winter?

    This isn’t your typical “AI is the future” story. This is about how (when everyone was throwing money and excitement at AI like it was the next gold rush) things suddenly went cold. These “AI winters” are like the seasons that hit tech trends: the hype goes sky-high, then everything collapses. And it’s happened a…
