Life Is Like a Wheel
Life doesn’t move in straight lines. It spins. It turns. It shifts. Much like a wheel, it keeps rotating — sometimes lifting us high, sometimes pulling us down.

You Don’t Need to Be Liked by Everyone

True Communication Goes Both Ways
Communication is at the heart of every relationship, whether personal or professional. It is how people connect, express their thoughts, and understand one another.

The Best Compliment I’ve Ever Received: “You Are a Racehorse”
Compliments come and go, but some stay with us forever. They don’t just make us smile for a moment; they shift something deep inside us. The best ones don’t flatter—they reveal.
