The first Saturday of every month, I meet with two groups of ladies. One is a book club and the other is a group I became a part of after an online class. 

The book club is mostly Ethiopians and we read a book that has been voted by the...

Work for others

I have done an array of tasks for people over time. And I enjoyed doing it. The interesting thing is that I realized how much I learnt from my mistakes when I am helping someone else. 

One of the most common things I did for others was showing them how...

I am tired

Depending on who I am listening to on YouTube, my opinoin of the crypto currency changes. 

Even since mid-May, crypto made a very drastic change in direction. Bitcoin followed by all the alt coins have fallen more than 50% from their all time highs. 

For many people who were aware...

Documenting

Lately I find myself telling other people to write. I wonder if I am the only one. 

There are a few people in my life with whom the conversations are usually fascinating. The topics are things I like to write about here. But when doing it with someone that has...

Opportunist

I decided to try being my own boss after a few years of working in corporate America. It occurred to me how I didn't have the energy to keep doing the 9-5 routine for too long. So I started experimenting with a few business ideas. Some of those experiments were...

Commutes

There is increasing buzz about the end of the remote working arrangement in some companies. Since the vaccination rates are increasing in the US, employers are discussing the strategy to start getting people back to work in person. 

It has been over a year and few months since most of...

Motivations

Back in 2019, when I first started writing for the first time, it was a daily task. I don't remember what convinced me to follow the post on product hunt to arrive at 200WordsAday.com. I believe it was on Jan 2 2019 that I started writing. 

At first, it was...

Contradictions

Scott Adams makes the argument that when it comes to skills, quantity is more important than quality. So if you are good in 2 things, it is better than being great at 1. 

Good + Good > Great.

He argues that he isn't the best at drawing or the most funny...

Changes

As we enter the second half of the year, I feel like things are at the start of a shift for me. I can't go back to how life used to be. It is just not feasible anymore.  I know that I am going to have to start living differently....

Memories

"The business of life is the acquisition of memories. In the end, that's all there is." Carlson (Downton Abbey)

I heard this yesterday and immediately paused the video to write it down. It is the type of quote I like. It reminds me of the butterfly moment that I used to...

Customs

I have started to watch the show called Downton Abbey on Netflix. It is set in early 20th century in England. I didn't think I would like the story but so far I am enjoying it.

What got me thinking today was how similar some of the customs of that time...
