Lessons Learned from the Oracle of Omaha
In a rare moment of reflection, Warren Buffett, the legendary investor and philanthropist, shared insights into what true success means to him. Beyond wealth and fame, Buffett believes that the love of those closest to you is the ultimate measure of a life well-lived.

Even in the everyday aspects of life, Buffett remains true to his principles. He enjoys a simple breakfast, reflecting his unpretentious approach to life.
"I eat exactly what I like to eat," he quips, sharing his fondness for childhood favorites like hamburgers and Coke.
Despite his immense success, Buffett remains humble and grounded, offering practical advice with a touch of humor and humility. His journey from a young investor to a revered sage of finance is a testament to his principles of integrity, patience, and lifelong learning.

Tea set by a suffragette
Pankhurst is a name well known to the history of women’s suffrage. Who hasn't heard the name Emmaline Pankhurst, founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an all-women organisation campaigning for the right to vote? The group that helped to achieve the right to vote for women in Great Britain and Ireland in 1918. Some know of her daughter Christabel, both being honoured by the Pankhurst memorial in Victoria Palace Gardens, London, right next to the UK Parliament buildings. Sylvia Pankhurst is notably not included in the monument. Why? Because she split with the WSPU to campaign against Britain's entry into First World War.

Bless Me Father for I Have Sinned
So, here’s me sitting on the 7b bus heading into town. I shouldn’t be on the bus. I don’t want to be on the bus. I should be on a bike, legs pumping like pistons. The freedom of the open road. Direction where the tyres press, as the poet said.
