Then we discussed Mary Tyler Moore scene where she has a laughing jag at a funeral for a clown. The weird thing is that … Continue reading Lines from Childhood
Doesn’t this go on a lot? By all of us and on many things. But as an example, so many people got angry over the quarantine. Like me, they are angry and did not bother getting the facts. There is the other issue of the concerted effort of people to disparage the experts and fire people up. But for too many things, we see something, and it seems wrong to us. But we never search out information. We never assume that people or organizations have a good reason for their actions (I actually wrote a funny novel on how they don’t).
People should be given the information. Covid-19 is terrible. So are abortions. The case should be won not through force but through the presentation of facts.
After reading and learning more about self-confidence, I was keen to know what is that I can do on daily basis to build confidence.
No matter how much we read about something or understand a concept, to apply it in our daily lives, we need to make a conscious effort. This can be done by adopting a few daily rituals which over some time, become habits. In my opinion, these habits help one in building self-confidence.
Maintain a gratitude diary- Gratitude diary helps one in recognizing and appreciating the little things in life. It makes one realize that life is not all that bad and teaches us to find happiness in our connections, achievements, and daily experiences.

Write down every small success on daily basis- Sometimes having an eye on top of the ladder…

There is always that silly statement, If humans came from apes, then why do we have apes. The answer is a common ancestor.A video recently showed a grandma primate tickling her grandson and making him laugh. That leads me to a response question to the above silly question. If man was made in the likeness … Continue reading Why we have Apes
Books, games, music, and life — filtered through the mind of a writer, drummer, and philosopher who thinks too deeply about all of it. If it moves something in your chest, I'm interested.
The goal of this blog is to create a list of super facts. Important facts that are true with very high certainty and yet surprising, misunderstood, or disputed by many. This blog aims to be challenging, educational, and fun, without it being clickbait. I determine veracity using evidence, data from reputable sources and longstanding scientific consensus. Prepare to be challenged (I am). Intentionally seek the truth not confirmation of your belief.

It also has a lot of information about the Leonberger breed, the history, care, training, Leonberger organizations, etc. I also wrote a Leonberger book, which I am featuring in the sidebar.
