‘That’ Person 3

This one is for the boys. I’m not sure if other people can relate to this or not but I always have a person in the back of my mind who in spirit helps me get through certain difficult situations. I’ll be sitting down somewhere; possibly on the Subway or in a restaurant, and I’ll ...

The right person 1

I had a conversation with a friend recently and she had a different perspective on relationships and finding the right person. Her view is that every person is compatible with a million other people in the world and you could potentially be happy with any of them. So the idea is there isn’t necessarily just ...

Following their dreams

a) A buddy of mine has accepted a job in Vancouver working as a Software Engineer for a video game company. This is something that he has always dreamed of doing; he’s the one guy I know that lives to write code. He’s great at what he does, and I’m sure he’s being compensated very ...

Is everything supposed to be fine the next day when they act like nothing happened, not realizing what pain they’ve put you through? It’s amazing how much impact a person ...

The Future of beggars 1

Walking down the street a few minutes ago and passing by multiple beggars prompted me to question the future of beggars and methods of receiving money from passerbys. Eventually physical cash will be nonexistent and all transactions will be card-based. The world is already halfway to achieving this. The lack of on-hand cash is going ...

Frugal, not cheap! 2

I want to clear something up. Being cheap is much different than being frugal, and I take offense when I’m called cheap. Frugal implies absence of luxury and simplicity of lifestyle whereas being cheap implies always looking to pay for something below it’s value. I see myself as the type of person that cuts out ...

29 Days

Many people in the world are good people inside, but sometimes there is a shell on the outside that blurs their true colours. Often times, all it takes is finding a person that brings the best of them out to break the shell. It’s often very difficult to find that person and many people never ...
