It’s human to act modestly in the open but wickedly in secret. In the west, I should think this quality is on steroids with the way people are gouged out of existence through the greed of a few. Triumph over the subterfuge of human nature is only addressed by the death of Jesus, who miraculously…

In almost every case, your biggest expense will be your mortgage or some other payment to the bank. Banks are almost indispensable and they use every means available to achieve this. However, if you find a way to make the bank irrelevant, you would have paved a path to financial freedom because you would have…

Habits are better than goals. If you focus on setting habits instead of goals, you will have success-hacked your year. Imagine forming the habit of writing every day, how you might have authored several books by the end of the year. Instead of focusing on achieving a goal, focus on the habits required to achieve…

Calculate how much it would cost you to live comfortably every month. Then, look for investments opportunities that can give you a year’s worth of your comfortable-living monthly expenses, noting the percentage return.

If you’ve never been a Christian before or seen reason to consider becoming one, I appeal to you on this basis. There is a depth of wickedness in this world, of which, if you are not part, you will be its victim. If you simply observe the news and compare it with just half a…

The Starbucks coffee is a metaphor when you look it critically. It’s a 25 cent-coffee that we pay 5 dollars for, every other day. There is a biblical saying that ‘a good name is better than silver or gold,’ implying brand value. The question then becomes, how can I build my name-reputation to become so…
