For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.

Why the Smartest People Say the Least
Have you noticed? The ones who speak last in meetings (or don’t speak at all) are often the ones who know the answer best.

The Deep Water Makes No Sound
01 Six in the evening. The elevator of a Midtown Manhattan office building. A man adjusts his tie in the reflection of the metal wall, the curve of his lips landing exactly at the threshold between “polite” and “intimate.” The doors slide open. He steps into the flow of Seventh Avenue pedestrians, and the smile vanishes, like hanging up a call he has no intention of returning.

Paycheck-to-Paycheck
Do you ever think that more money will fix your life? I know I did. I would change jobs for the increased income. I’m sure there are some people who don’t know that struggle of always wanting more. That’s fine. I’m not talking about them. I’m talking about the middle class, who no matter how much of an increase in pay they see, they find themselves in the same predicament: living paycheck to paycheck. Before you say, “I budget, I do all the things, and I’m not living paycheck to paycheck!” I’m also not talking about you. There’s obviously some group of people who figured out the solution of getting out of that lifestyle. I would get paid more, then get upset because I was back to the money struggle. Sure, my new place was bigger, and I had nicer things, but I was still using up my savings. It felt like I was only surviving. After some time, I realized I’m the problem.

View from the Scaffolding
There are certain moments in a migrant worker's life that I never expected to happen to me.

Authenticity Starts Within
Loving yourself is the noblest quality a person can possess. Only those who love themselves can truly love others. After all, how can someone who doesn't love themselves love anyone else? Furthermore, only those who love themselves can be loved by others; it is only when you learn to love yourself first that others will love you.
