I like collecting things.
Not just for the sake of having a collection, and not because I’m sentimental (I am though).
I collect things because I see value in it.
Collect some information over time, and you have a database.
Organize that database, and you have insights.
Study those insights and you have knowledge.
However, I don’t want to be a hoarder.
I don’t want to collect things and keep them to myself.
I like sharing.
I’ve benefited from other people sharing what they had collected, and I want to follow their footsteps.
The blog posts below are what I believe to be the gold nuggets of the internet. Valuable, timeless, insightful, and universal.
They have changed the way I think, and helped me look at the world differently.
Advices and stories that I want to revisit from time to time.
Things that I often refer to, directly or indirectly when talking to others.
They consciously or subconsciously have helped me when I was indecisive, scared, confused, indifferent, or lost.
I will update this list over time. I call it a “growing blog post”. If you want to be notified about the new articles added to this list, you can put your email here. I’ll only send emails once quite a few new links are added here so I don’t spam your inbox.
