Some people are so weak they think money makes them stronger. We see the consequence of this thinking daily. If one doesn’t have the belief in oneself, no amount of money will compensate for the deficiency.

Every time we sit down to write, our mood and state of mind affect our words
Every time we sit down to write, our mood and state of mind affect our words. We infuse, to some extent, everything we write with our unique “voice.” Our emotions come through on the page. When we’re struggling to eke out even a few words and make sense of our writing, it shows in our […]
