Fall down Seven times, stand up eight
17th September 2025 Nelson Mandela said “I never lose. I either win or learn.” And that is the mindset that I try to bring to my life. All of those things I tried that didn’t work? All those situations that didn’t work out the way I thought they should? Not failures; but lessons. Not evidence […]
Keep your Bread warm
16th September 2025 This morning, while having breakfast, while enjoying my breakfast, I realised that my toast is not tasting good as usual.
