My Learning: "Supercommunicators" by Charles Duhigg
Most of the time, we are having three types of conversations: What is this about? → Decision making, logical How are we feeling? → Discuss what we are feeling Who are we? → Social conversation, identity All super communicators effectively synchronize neurologically.

Intrinsic motivation always beats extrensic. Take help from people who already master it. Ask for advice. Don’t be shy to ask the reason....
AI and Us: Navigating the Future Together
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a subject of significant debate and speculation.

This highlights a fundamental fact: innovations often meet with resistance, but it is essential for propelling humanity forward....
Project Management Tools Really Work?
I have used many project management tools in my career, each promising to streamline workflow and enhance productivity. Despite their well-intended designs, I’ve often found these tools falling short of accommodating the dynamic nature of most projects I’ve worked on.

From my perspective, the effectiveness of such tools is not universal....
