I've seen people doing the same in South Korea, where people used to travel from a whole other town to work. They used to leave office around 10 in the night, and would be back in office by 7:30 AM the next day. I used to wonder if t

If you are really short of ideas, just check one of the existing popular services which you use and see if you can offer the same at a cheaper rate. For ex: if a 'package delivery service' is charging $1 for delivering a package,

I'll be shocked if its true. I'm working in the tech industry for like 13 years now, I've never heard of anyone getting a lesser pay on account of gender (at-least here in India). What has gender got to do with knowledge is

Just out of curiosity, if the sport is so violent/unsafe for kids, why not ban it for under 18 players ? Or is it that, only a small subsection of the american population find it violent/unsafe and the rest are completely fine wit

which country are you from ? I'm surprised that if there's no demand for such skillset, why do they have schools for teaching them ?

$5000 + $600 maintenance fee ? Looks more fit for Billion$$ businesses who have run out of ideas on what to do with their money.

Option 2 : Suck it up and work on improving the situation. Instead of throwing in the towel and going on a quest for self discovery, find ways to avoid stress. Take up yoga/gym classes or play some video games in between. Take your w

Don't start with "How", you'll most probably give up after some time. Always start with "Why?". If the "Why" part is a strong enough reason for you, you will find a way to accomplish it. If it&#x27

I don't think this is the correct solution. It's like chopping off your nose to avoid cold. Rather, try more self restraint or self control. - Install a nanny software to block time-sink sites at specific time (chrome nanny was

I meant : you 'THINK' you have a brilliant idea and you 'THINK' you have the capability to execute it. But why do you say they would quit very quickly when they are so confident ? Can you elaborate ?

While i don't necessarily agree with the overall dystopian tone of this article (almost a version of - richest person in the room is also the saddest one), I have to agree on some of the points. Below is my take on this : 1. Having mo
