Be Informed, Not Just Opinionated
As I’ve mentioned in some of my earlier posts, from a young age my dad drummed into my head that it’s better to be a person with opinions than an empty vessel that doesn’t stand for anything.

Don’t Try To Sway My Vote

Writings On The Plane
It’s the middle of the night and here I am in seat 15K, one of the many window seats of an Emirates plane heading from Bali to Doha.
