If you were financially set for life would you still aim to improve yourself? Would you still be motivated to perfect yourself? Do you really love the work? If money were no object would you still do it? Security can be a huge source of motivation for people, but when that's safely taken care of … Continue reading Financially set for life →

  Coming home can be a painful experience. A reminder of the people you were once inseparably close to, how much fun you once had and how carefree you once were. Each time whilst travelling home I get this hopeful feeling. It's almost a childish naivety, in believing that they'll all be waiting at the … Continue reading Coming Home →

Overall it’s an extremely empowering read and I would highly recommend it for any introvert. Extroverts can read it too, it just won’t speak to you as much. I would recommend Dale Carnegie’s How to make friends and influence people for you instead. It felt so personal, it felt like Susan Cain has known me, … Continue reading Quiet – The Power of introverts in a World that can’t stop talking →

Hearing it through the grapevine is most often ten times worse than plucking up the courage and coming out with it. Especially if it's bad news.
