I turned to my partner and asked: “Why is there a dedicated day just for women?” International Women’s Day has always been there. It wasn’t until recently when this special day catches even more…

This week, I started dedicating a few hours in exploring the topic of sustainability. A goal that I pledged for 2021 in doing something meaningful (Do something), nothing beats awareness. Sustainability topic is not a new news. We hear about it every day, especially in this part of a more mature society – Western Europe….

Do something.

Finished a long distance phone call an hour ago with a friend. I can’t help but thinking over the grievances he shared with me about his job.

No doubt, the current pandemic has encouraged even more social media usage as a mean of communicating with others from home. The word ‘use‘ is not to be underestimated. In fact, communicating…

Just a couple of hours ago, The Independent UK published that Captain Tom Moore has raised more than £21M in donations for NHS – how extraordinary! For his 100th birthday, the Second World War veteran pledged to complete 100 lengths of walk in his garden, and he accomplished it. Initially aimed at only a thousand…

The book that hooks.

Posted on April 14, 2020 by chefswifediary

At 24, by chance I joined a local national entrepreneurship competition aired on television. There was neither encouragement nor supporters.
