I Believe in You
I believe that everyone needs someone else to believe in them. Imagine a young child who is started to walk on his two feet.

Lessons from ‘The Road Less Traveled’
This journey of reading 'The Road Less Traveled' by Scott Peck is very personal for me.

Expect The Unexpected
I believe we hear the saying of 'expect the unexpected' many times from many different occasions. This saying somehow sends a message to our mind that we need to be ready - in facing many unexpected happenings. 'Unexpected' is prone to be defined as 'something bad happen suddenly' or 'something happen out of plan'. But … Continue reading Expect The Unexpected
In Reality or Sway In The Dream?
Yesterday, I had a talk with an old friend about his relationship. He's about to get married and he is facing a problem - not too big, but significant.
