Startups. This is something I’ve been thinking about a lot. It’s not just a “buzzword”. It’s a symbol of freedom. Freedom of choice. Freedom from money issues. Being your own boss. Making your own choices. Doing stuff that you enjoy doing and doing them on your own terms. Building your own startup (or shall […]

How long is your NEVER?
Ever caught yourself saying something like “I’ll never get that”? “It’s too hard; I’ll never understand it”. “I’m just anti-talent for it”. Be honest! I’m sure you went through it at least ONCE in a recent past. Pause for a second now and think about it. What was it? What made you feel like […]
First Day at a REBT Therapy and how it looks like
I’ve been doing REBT (Rational Emotional Behavior Therapy) for 5+ years now; been flaunting about it for 3+. Yet, it never ceases to amaze me how people react when I bring it up. It’s literally as if I released a fart and acted all normal about it. […]
How I Learned To Read (and read 30 books in a year)
I was never an avid reader. Even calling myself a casual reader would be an exaggeration.. I just wasn’t into reading. I somehow managed to go through school without reading a single book. No clue how I did it, but I did. And it worked out pretty well. And then it happened … I […]
Guide to Surviving Job Interviews (as narrated by an Interviewer)
I’ve been sitting on the “other” side of the table for a while now. Did around hundred of them. Primarily for software engineering positions, but I had my shot of fun with QA, sys admins and many others. Frankly, I’ve always loved them. They kind of combine couple of passions that I deeply enjoy […]
I’m as anxious as you are; I just choose to do it
Have you ever looked at someone and thought – “wow, that’s so easy for them! I wish I was that fearless”. That ever happened to you? I’m not talking about successful people only, but pretty much anybody. Just by observing others doing things that scare us, we assume that they aren’t dealing with negative […]
We all come with a bucket of sh*t
You know, this was one of those articles that I kept for a “special” occasion. Like that bottle of wine or that nice dress that you have. Just waiting for a perfect occasion to wear it; or consume it. To make things even more funny, as you also probably know, that “perfect” moment usually […]
“I don’t know how to manage people”
Ever caught yourself saying it? “I’m good at what I do, but I suck at managing people”, or “I don’t really want to be a manager, I want to do actual stuff”, etc.? If the answer is NO, I hate to inform you that this article is definitely not made for you and that […]
It’s OK that you’re feeling down
Are you feeling (a bit) “meh” these days? Bored? Lazy? Unmotivated? Unsure about what to do with your time; or life? Maybe even a bit depressed? Interestingly enough, whoever I speak to seems to be feeling (a bit) down. What surprises me is not the feeling itself, but the fact that they are puzzled […]
Do something that you suck at
I think it’s interesting to mention how this article came to be. Believe it or not, it all started with one of Joe Rogan’s podcasts. Suddenly, I’ve just heard Joe shouting “Do something that you suck at!”, “Try something that you never tried before!”, “Go back to zero and start from scratch!”, yadda yadda […]
