I chanced upon a great quote today. There are no finish lines. It made prefect sense. This is something I keep in my mind with everything I do. My relationships, friendships, habits, and principles are all for my life. There are no finish lines. In the other news, I tried to keep quiet in Twitter and

I recently wrote about how what I do aligns to “Master yourself, help others” philosophy I learned from Derek Sivers. I loved this philosophy so much that I want to make it my life motto and make sure everything I do fits into either of these buckets. This motto adds on to the four principles

James Clear is one of my favorite habit bloggers. I came across him sometime last year. I am reading his blog ever since. It changed me for the better.

One thing I started appreciating after becoming a dad is the value of time. Like many dads, being the best possible hands on dad is non-negotiable to me. You don’t need a lot of money to be a good parent but you certainly need a lot of time and patience, things money can’t buy. However,

I clearly remember that July night in 2013. I discovered Medium and was on reading spree. Just like how I used to read any and every blog in 2006 when I discovered blogging. That Medium post was titled Deliberate Practice, one of my favorite subjects. It mainly talked about two points which I can’t recall
