We do a lot of things in life because they … Continue reading Why you should start or participate in Collaborative Content Projects
You might have heard a thousand times that “you can be anything that you really put your mind into”. This is a cliché usage in motivation talks world over.

Where in the world
Should one be searching for peace
Which table today
Should one play to win the game
When can one be

Compassionate one should be
Not just inside but truly outside
