Five Practices That Will Quickly Develop Leadership Skills
People tend to think that leadership is only what great men and women do on television or in movies – wars, revolutions, etc. Of course, those situations do require strong leaders who know how to scan a battlefield and give orders at just the right moment; however, there is more to it than that! True leaders don't limit themselves to command-and-control strategies – rather, they seek consensus using diplomacy and encourage cooperation using shared visions and goals.

Ideas need action. Entrepreneurs build companies
So why don't more people launch startups? One answer is they overestimate the risks. The reasons you think you want to get into business – to be your own boss, to build something new, to make money, or the like – are not what truly matters. Instead what matters is if you really have an ideal solution to start a viable business, and if you have the passion and willpower to turn that idea into a real company. Your ideas need action; entrepreneurship means taking actions that move ideas forward into the world. If you think an idea through enough and take enough action on it, then it may become pivotal in another person's life. You may even build something that becomes very valuable.

You should see the Netflix Series “Snowpiercer”.
The climactic action sequences in Snowpiercer are among the most viscerally exciting I've ever seen. However, this film's intriguing, layered world and characters prove far more memorable long after we leave the theatre, and that's ultimately what makes it special. Based on a graphic novel by Jacque Lob, Jean-Marc Rochette and Benjamin Legrand and South Korean director Bong Joon Ho's first English-language feature, Snowpiercer is set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity has fled to the train of a perpetually moving super train that travels around the planet as the ice caps have melted into oblivion. Passengers live in extreme class segregation inside of cars divided by poverty.

Inspiration in everything
I wonder what it would be like to have a life that is so organized that you could sort your socks by colour. We all have our own unique stories, struggles and dreams. We can take inspiration from anything. A book, a movie, an experience, a piece of music. Everything is fair game for us to use as inspiration for our characters.

Lessons about Business credit management
One of the first creditors to whom a business owes money is itself. How you finance your business affects how much it costs to run and whether you make profits. Paying yourself and paying suppliers not only costs money, it affects cash flow and income as well.

Rest: The Ultimate Mood Booster
Ever feel like the world is spinning too fast around you? I was one of those people who thought rest is for the weak. I would push myself to my limit, but all it lead me down a slippery slope where more work meant less productivity and just an unending race with no reward at all. I used to be like most people, working long hours and sacrificing my health and well-being for profit.

Sabrina found magic again
She felt lonely. She is getting tired of the routine. Is there more to life ? What did she miss? Why is she not happy? Those thoughts went through her mind deep in the night as she was lying on her bed, unable to sleep. Her dogs barking at every sound from beyond the neighbours’ walls didn't help either. In a sudden decision, she got up and walked to her small desk that lit up with all of her work.
