We should take responsibility for our decisions. It is easy to blame others. Some people die blaming others. Instead of putting in their best effort, they nitpick about others.

We live such a modern life that the hustle and bustle has become part of us. We are running for one or the other things. What we get out of it depends from person to person. There are some days when I feel like absolutely doing nothing. Those days have their significance. It helps with …
psychopath
In the last 6-12 months, I have ended up meeting a few people via connections who had narcissistic behavior in them. Some will not even admit their wrongdoings. At times, they will act super sweet to get their work done. The agenda would be to get what they want. These kinds of people are the …
