You don’t know everything!
The first time I heard of Bill Nye was on the Big Bang Theory! His show, Bill Nye The Science Guy, was such a hit it was nominated for 23 Emmy Awards and won 19! After his show was over in 1998, he continued trying to make the world a better place through education. NowContinue reading “You don’t know everything!”
The Trap of Likes
Most of us tend to keep checking who has liked the photos we’ve posted on Instagram or Facebook. And even start comparing the number of likes our posts have received over others.

Chrysalis ~ Why the caterpillar must die
If you ask anyone to give you a symbol of transformation and you will most probably get a mention of the caterpillar.

A chrysalis is the formContinue reading “Chrysalis ~ Why the caterpillar must die”
