Have you ever heard a remarkable story about a farmer and a lawyer? A farmer named Angus from Newfoundland had an unfortunate car accident. He was hit by a truck belonging to the Eversweet Company. In the courtroom, the Eversweet Company’s lawyer interrogated Angus. “Didn’t you tell the police at the scene of the accident, ‘I’m fine, I’m fine’?” the lawyer asked.

🌳 According to African legend, the Creator planted the baobab (the African baobab) in the valley of a river, but the tree was discontented with the moisture. So, the Creator transplanted the baobab to the mountainside, yet still, the tree remained unsatisfied. Angered by the tree’s constant complaints, the Creator uprooted the baobab and threw it onto the dry ground of Africa.

This way, your mind becomes more flexible and relaxed. Avoid having too many options. Have you ever heard of “the paradox of choice”? The more options you have, the harder it is to decide, and the more stressed your brain becomes. Instead of exhausting yourself by choosing, it actually […]

Recently, I had the chance to talk to someone through Kora. It had been about a year and a half since our last conversation. As we reminisced about events from a year and a half ago, we found ourselves talking for nearly five hours. A sense of satisfaction, which I hadn’t felt in a long time, spread through my heart. The heaviness that once weighed down my spirit was lifted by this conversation. People change with opportunities and circumstances. Feelings are never constant; they shift according to the situation. What is precious today might be unnecessary tomorrow. What I once rejected and discarded might become essential after some time. The […]

From my experience, here are a few small tricks. 1.
