Reasons To Be Motivated Part 3
Introduction Obviously, the title is stolen from the Ian Dury and the Blockheads song, but this has been stimulated by the number of people, including close friends who seem to be motivated by revenge and disdain.

Are You Too Dependent on Others?
Introduction Human connections are essential for emotional well-being. However, relying too much on others can create challenges that affect confidence, decision-making, and personal growth. While support from family and friends is valuable, excessive dependence can prevent you from developing independence and resilience.

Why Some People Always Need Attention
Attention is a basic human need. Everyone enjoys being noticed, appreciated, and valued. However, some people constantly seek attention in ways that seem excessive. They dominate conversations, create drama, exaggerate stories, or continuously post online for validation. As a result, their behavior often raises questions among friends, family members, and coworkers.

Let Women Be Women: Equality Was Never Meant to Mean Imitation. Content Warning.
The Boardroom That Changed Everything Ananya sat quietly in the meeting room, watching the conversation unfold. Voices overlapped - assertive, sharp, often loud. Opinions were not just shared; they were projected. Every point felt like a competition. Every silence, a weakness.

The Boss Who Fired Him for Being "Too Slow" Now Works for the Company He Built
Tariq was twenty-four when he got fired from his first real job at a logistics company, in front of nearly the entire office. His manager, a sharp-tongued man named Rizwan, had built a reputation for humiliating employees publicly, believing fear was the best motivator. On that particular afternoon, after Tariq made a minor scheduling error that delayed one shipment by half a day, Rizwan stood at his desk and announced loudly enough for the whole floor to hear: "Some people just aren't built fast enough for this industry. Pack your things." Tariq didn't argue. He didn't cry in front of his colleagues either, though the humiliation sat heavily in his chest the entire bus ride home. What hurt more than losing the job was the casual cruelty of being reduced to "not fast enough" after eight months of honest, sincere work. That night, sitting on the edge of his bed, Tariq made a quiet decision — not one driven by anger, but by a strange, calm determination. He wasn't going to prove Rizwan wrong through arguments or appeals. He was simply going to build something that made the insult irrelevant. With his small savings and a loan from his brother-in-law, Tariq started a tiny one-van delivery service, operating out of a rented garage. He personally drove deliveries himself in the early months, often working sixteen-hour days, determined to build a reputation based on the one thing his old boss claimed he lacked — reliability and speed done right, not rushed recklessly. Word spread slowly through small businesses frustrated with larger, impersonal logistics companies. Tariq's service prided itself on transparent tracking, fair pricing, and treating every client's shipment with the same care, regardless of size. Within three years, his single van had become a fleet of twelve. Within six years, "TR Logistics" had become one of the most trusted mid-sized delivery companies in the region, known specifically for the calm, respectful way it treated both clients and employees — a deliberate contrast to the culture Tariq himself had once suffered under. Then, almost ten years after that humiliating afternoon, an application landed on Tariq's HR department's desk for a regional operations manager position. The name on the resume stopped Tariq mid-sip of his morning tea: Rizwan. The company Rizwan had worked for years had eventually shut down after losing major contracts to, ironically, more efficient competitors — companies exactly like the one Tariq had built. Rizwan, now in his late forties, was simply looking for stable work in an industry that had moved past the harsh management style he once thought was strength. Tariq could have refused the application out of old resentment. He could have used the moment to deliver the same kind of public humiliation he once received. Instead, he did something that surprised even his own management team — he personally sat in on the interview.

He Failed His Business Three Times. The Fourth Time, He Built an Empire.
By the time Faizan turned twenty-eight, he had already lost everything twice. His first attempt was a small mobile repair shop, opened with money borrowed from his uncle, which shut down within eight months because he had underestimated rent costs and overestimated customer loyalty. His second attempt was a clothing stall at a local market, wiped out almost entirely when a heavy monsoon flooded the entire street and destroyed his unsold stock overnight. People in his neighborhood had already given him a nickname by then — "Faizan Flop." It was said half-jokingly at gatherings, but Faizan heard the weight behind the laughter every single time. His third attempt was perhaps the most painful. A small food delivery service he started with two friends, built on nearly a year of unpaid effort, collapsed when one partner ran off with the shared savings just as the business was finally gaining customers. Faizan was left not just broke, but in debt, sleeping on a relative's couch at twenty-nine years old while his school friends were buying their first cars and getting married. His mother never once said the words "I told you so," but he could see the worry etched permanently into her face every time he came home a little more defeated than before. Most people, after three failures stacked one on top of another, would have quietly accepted a regular nine-to-five job and let go of the dream entirely. Faizan almost did too. He even applied for a clerical position at a local office, attending the interview in a borrowed shirt because his own clothes were worn thin. He didn't get that job. And strangely, that rejection became the turning point of his life.

Recovery From Falling Off The Wagon
Since the beginning of 2026 I had decided to dive into game development, which is something I have been thinking about doing and learning about for a few years. I just didn't really know where to start or how to get a game made. After attending art school and getting a Game Art degree, I finally had a foundation of knowledge to guide me on the general process, but I knew going in that I still had a ton to learn before I can make a game. Granted, there are faster and easier ways to make games than the goals I set for myself, but I have reasons for choosing a more challenging path, not the least of which is that I don't just want to put out games fast, I want to make games that are high quality. That part takes much more time and effort, usually.
