Thought I would share something that is possibly novel in the personal development. This comes after thinking about my own hobbies or interests which played a majored role in many of my personal successes today. I define a Safe Channel for personal development as some means to develop skills and competencies away from society’s judgmental eyes. This can come in the form of a hobby or personal interest. There are three components to having a safe channel. The channel must develop some kind of useful skill through a regime of deliberate practice.  The second component is that no external...

Ok, this is not going to be long post. The hits on the last article was absolutely crazy ! There is a chance it might crack top 5 of my most popular blog posts of all time here. Here’s more interesting developments : a) Ruffled some feathers in the blogosphere A Millenial blogger reached out to me in private conversation because it seemed to her that my article was referring to her specifically. Regardless of whether I was actually referring to her ( I read many Millenial bloggers because I want to figure out how to have more Millenial...

[ I’d really like to thank the regulars of this blog who gave me huge pop in yesterday’s course previews so much so that my first class is confirmed.

I may also get hoarse as the talk goes on as I’m expected to speak for about an hour.  ] We’re a little behind on this series so we have some catching up to do. The second article this week is about focus. According...

As we get older, I find that some of my friends are starting to become cranky old men. A friend who drives for Grab would tell tales of his life and talk about how horrible young people are today and why he feels like punching some of them to show them the error of their ways.

In D&D, characters are defined by attributes in both Intelligence and Wisdom. Intelligence is a trait favoured by Wizards and governs language and skills acquisition ( in the appropriate edition ) whereas Wisdom, favoured by clerics,  determined your ability to resist spells that affect your emotions.
