Oftentimes we are seeking outside sources that would enhance our lives. Little do we know that all it is needed is inside ourselves. One cannot manage the other or the world, unless he learns how to self-manage. Because trying to change the world outside us would only expose us to a chain of unmanageable accidents, which we don't want. Again, because the only way for something we want to happen is to focus our energy over ourselves and become the best manager there can be; of our own lives. Stephen R. Covey names, in his book, the 7 habits that would allow us to become the better version of ourselves every single day: Habit nr. 1: Be proactive Habit nr. 2: Begin with the end...
We’ve touched on this topic a few times throughout our journey, and I’m certain there’s still much more to discover and uncover. It reminded me of a fascinating book I read some time ago: Blue Ocean Strategy. The premise is simple yet powerful—it encourages us to create new markets rather than compete within existing ones. Companies like Apple, Google, and Amazon have, to some extent, followed this path, which is exactly what set them apart from the crowd. Personally, I believe creativity is an essential force—one that has the potential to revolutionize our lives every single day. It fuels both our inner growth and our external contributions. Surely, we can agree on that much. But then, a difficult question arises:...
Every time I reflect on the word' purpose,' my mind drifts back to the earliest chapters of my life, when the world felt like a fairytale, brimming with endless possibility. That sense of wonder hasn’t left me, even though some of my oldest dreams have been shattered more than once. Still, I hold fast to this belief: a life without purpose is a life only half-lived. Purpose isn’t some distant ideal. It should greet us in the morning like an alarm clock, echo in the meals we choose, shape the way we move through our days, guide our travel, and, most critically, influence what we choose to do for a living. This is not a decision to be made lightly. Our...
In her groundbreaking book Who Can You Trust?, Rachel Botsman explores how trust takes on many shapes and forms in today’s world. I found her work not only unique but also a powerful validation of the timeless saying: “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Through hundreds of interviews, Botsman discovered that the meaning of trust varies greatly from person to person - often in surprising ways. What becomes clear is that trust is not static; it is fluid, evolving, and deeply contextual. In fact, trust may be one of the most transformative forces shaping our modern world. Without it, there would be no relationships, no institutions, no progress - and certainly no innovation. And what drives today’s growth and...
Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have been going forward at a rapid pace, and we have all seen the results in our day-to-day lives. Watching AI both create and eradicate jobs begs the question, “will AI ever be able to replace the legal professional?”. Fortunately, the answer is “no”, but the two will have to learn to co-exist. While AI will substantially change the way law firms work, those that chose to embrace it will find themselves with a significant advantage over their competitors. This new technology will automate and expedite the more routine work that comes with being a lawyer. According to Forbes.com, “It’s predicted AI will eliminate most paralegal and legal research positions within the next decade”. This...
