The battle starts in your mind, that’s where it is. It is a… Continue

Have you ever blown it? Really blown it?

We have the handiest man ever. Anything we point out - a corner of the railing which my son’s puppy chewed, painting, repairing a tiny hole on the screen around our swimming pool, or filling a crack on the cement. Yep, he can do it all!

Anything I point to fix, with a reassurance of a CEO in charge, he announces. "That’s what I do."

As the event draws near the industry faces many new challenges, one thing that can be certain is that the Internet and digital technology is going to claim a bigger share of our thoughts and occupation.

Happiness Is optional

If one wishes to be happy, they must remember that happiness is not having what you want, but rather, wanting what you have.
