Ideally, we all want to put ourselves in the right place at the right time as often as possible. “The only reason for time is so that everything doe...

Because so many things in today’s world are automated and digital, we are losing simple face-to-face social interactions very rapidly. As social animals, we crave these interactions.

When you do something — anything at all — for a long time and you’re passionate about it, there’s a tendency to expect others to do it too. Because it’s become routine for you, and you’re comfortable with it, it can be hard to imagine that may not be the case for everyone.

Saying you are in control is simply not true. Don’t misunderstand. We are big propo...
