What is an Entrepreneur?
There has been debate over the true definition of an entrepreneur. Some believe an entrepreneur starts their own business, while others believe an entrepreneur is someone who runs a business. However, I think this definition of entrepreneurship by Howard Stevenson is best: Entrepreneurship is the pursuit of opportunity beyond resources controlled, which means that an entrepreneur spots an opportunity and pursues it regardless of what resources they have.
So why do people want to become an entrepreneur? The main reason is for more personal freedom. Most people don’t want to be stuck in the grueling cycle of going to a…

The Myth of Narcissus
Most of you have undoubtedly heard of the Greek myth of Narcissus, a young man who is in love only with himself. He breaks the heart of the young girl named Echo. Because of that, the goddess of revenge- Nemesis, leads Narcissus by a pool, where he falls in love with his reflection in the water and after realizing that his love will not be returned to him — he turns into a yellow flower which, according to this myth is called the Narcissus.
The lesson that can be learned from this myth is that we humans should not be…

What is Meditation?
Meditation is a practice of relaxed focus and awareness that has been practiced around the world for thousands of years. Although most people think you have to sit cross-legged with your eyes closed to meditate, there are many ways to achieve the meditative process if you feel too antsy sitting still. Meditation can be done anywhere and anytime throughout the day by simply taking note of your thoughts and feelings, being present in the moment, or focusing your mind on something specific.
Why Should I Meditate?
Today’s society can be summed up in two words: “sensory overload.” We are constantly inundated with access to…
How it came to be…
In recent years, artificial intelligence (A.I.) technologies have developed dramatically. Today, they are not only a prerogative of big tech giants. A.I. plays a role in many aspects of our daily lives from morning until night.
Siri and Alexa answer our questions. Google Maps is our can’t-live-without co-pilot and always find the quickest route to our destination and more. More often, our chance to get a job depends on A.I. resume screening. The list of examples is still very long. …
It’s more than just simplicity and inclusion

No, AI is not going to replace teachers…
When most people think of their education, the images that come to mind are teachers writing on chalkboards and textbooks that have passed through hundreds of children’s hands.
For some of us, the heights of technology during our education were an old desktop PC whose word processor included an animated paperclip telling you to save your work. For the students of today and the future, however, this is not the case. “Artificial Intelligence,” or AI, promises to upend and improve how students learn.
AI in education or “Edtech” is one of the world’s fastest-growing industries, and its influence is felt…

You reap what you sow…
Now is a tough time for all of us, we are in this together but let’s take a look at the positives. People are not wasting time commuting and are communicating a lot more. This lockdown is a real blessing as it gives us the time to actually catch up with and to think for ourselves a lot more constructively about the lives we want to live going forward.
Instead of letting yourself fall into a boredom trap, you can use this time to your advantage. …
It’s a bit complicated…
After high school everyone has to make a big life decision, to commit four years of their life and probably thousands of dollars to; go to college and get a bachelor’s degree, go to a community college, a trade school route, or skip all of that in just straight to the work world, this is a really a personal decision. Everyone is different and what works for one person doesn’t necessarily mean it is going to work for everyone at the same time, a college education is often presented as the best option.

Is 5G really ready?
What is 5G?
5G is the fifth generation cellular network that is at least 10 times faster than 4G LTE and some experts even claim that it could eventually be 100 times faster. To give an example, instead of waiting five minutes to download a movie on Netflix in 4G, it will take only 30 seconds on 5G so it could even replace your home’s current high-speed internet service. This new standard means devices will be able to communicate with each other with no lag. …
