  • During the worldwide peak of coronavirus in spring, the metropolitan streets were as empty as supermarket shelves, people feared leaving the house, and all restaurants and shops closed.

One thing is clear, humans will survive the virus, but how will it affect our future and our perception of “normal”?

  • How Right IS the Customer?

    There’s an idea in the business world that proclaims “the customer is always right.” This overused company framework has led to a toxic sense of entitlement among consumers, which in turn, has made working in customer service a dreaded job.

  • America Through Foreign Eyes

    Every year over a million students from around the world travel to the United States to pursue a college degree. Apart from a long flight and a different language, many are not aware of the many other challenges they face.

  • The Power of Whimsy

    The idea of growing older is often associated with stepping away from our childlike playfulness and curiosity. But when we reclaim our sense of whimsy we live a life with a greater connection to the people around us and even to ourselves.

  • Why I Got Married at 18 Years Old

  • The Cruciality of Owning Your Faith

    Spiritual crises, as difficult as they can be in the life of a young Christian, are necessary to truly understand and own their faith. Even though it was the most difficult period of my life, I would go through it again because I discovered what I truly believed and who I am.
