I have been distracted, impatient, and indecisive.

Actually, the reality is different. Enough studies confirm that we are attracted by people who share similarities with us (more details here: Relationships: opposites do not attract, scientists prove).

Days ago I was taking care of my daughter. She’s 2 years old and has recently started throwing tantrums consistently. It can be very irritating, but I do my best not to succumb to my irritation and to take the most effective action:

I was raised Catholic by my parents. For as far as I can remember, the whole family would go to the church every Sunday.

It hurts, and we feel like paying back, making the offender suffer just like we did.

There are some people you like who you’ve always liked, and there are people who you used to like but don’t anymore. There are also people you like now that you used to dislike, and there are people you dislike who you’ve always disliked.

If you want to have the most delicious meal you’ve ever had in your entire life, there’s no need to spend a fortune going to a Michelin 3-star restaurant to eat food prepared by a famous chef.

People say you have to sleep 8 hours a day. If you sleep 8 hours a day and live until you’re 60 then you’ll have slept 20 years, and I don’t want to spend 20 years sleeping.
