When we talk about Alexander the Great, everyone seems to have their own opinion. He stands at the crossroads of legend and history, reality and myth. His story leaves a vast open space to imagine, to shape, and to create who this man truly was. I’ve read about him, watched movies, and even seen animations
Why I Picked Up This Book I discovered The Almanack of Naval Ravikant through a book-focused YouTube channel I follow from time to time. I didn’t know much about Naval before, and I wasn’t sure what I was walking into. I opened it out of curiosity, with no expectations. What I found was not a
Tucked beneath a canopy of Pacific Northwest trees, West Linn Library feels like it was dreamed into being by someone who never forgot what it meant to be a child. As you walk in, natural light streams through expansive glass walls, wrapping the space in calm. The first thing that catches your eye is a
Yesterday, I had a quiet and peaceful Sat., as nothing much bothered my mind or heart. I spent the afternoon gardening—not in a perfect garden, far from it, and not with a perfect raised bed. I rested on my backyard deck, just sat on it with no chair, or cushion. I simply sat—on the wood,

Sunday morning reflections Yesterday, I listened to about half of the Berkshire Hathaway 60th Annual Shareholder Meeting. As always, Warren Buffett shared not only investment insights but also deep wisdom about life. A few things he said stayed with me — and I wanted to write them down, both to remember and to share. 1.
The moment we arrived in Oxford, I felt a great fusion between the past and present. The centuries-old buildings stood tall, carrying the weight of history and the sternness of truth, yet the air felt light and pleasant. There was the gravity of the past and the energy of youth all around us. We made
Last week, I didn’t take many actions in my NVIDIA option trading. I did two things: on Monday, April 21, when the market was down, I sold a few put options. On Tuesday, even though the market ticked up slightly compared to Monday, I closed out all my NVIDIA call options. Although I didn’t trade

He said that fear or worry arises when we mistake our own ideas or thoughts for facts. If we can simply understand the facts without adding our own interpretations, we could be
