Choice is about being self-aware. Choice is about owning our life and decisions. Choice is about not blaming others for our failures. Choice is about loving yourself more.

naysayers
Reading Wright Brothers makes me realize that naysayers have existed since inception. Added screenshot of two incidents where they denounced flying & fun of the experiments. In the end, it is our self-belief that keeps us going. It requires hard work, perseverance, persistence. Quitting after trying few times is easy.
Bicycle
While reading The Wright Brothers, I felt great knowing the reception bicycle got from society. It took everyone by surprise and opening a bicycle shop was a craze.

little
“How Much Land Does a Man Require?” is an 1886 short story by Leo Tolstoy. The story speaks of a greedy farmer.

What fascinates me is the level of confidence at people on the internet shares their wisdom. It can be on entrepreneurship, life, happiness, and off-late covid19. Why do we have to speak or share advice on topics we are not closely related to? Is it our insecurity or the desire to be looked upon? What …
poor
Equality is a misnomer. Our constitution is century old, the world has moved on. Poor are burdens to every country. All the lowly jobs where pays are nothing is for them.
