The only way to begin a task is by actually doing it- not saying you will and then you realize the weekend has passed and haven’t done anything. There are those people who can procrastinate till the last day of the exam, but I can’t.

In Pakistan, you’re … Continue reading It’s getting hot in here, so be a lamb and keep your clothes on!

This week everyone’s been talking about an article in the Economist explaining how men’s use of language undermines their authority.

This verbal tic makes them sound like pompous bullshitters, so that people switch off and stop listening to what they’re saying. If they want to be successful, this is something men need to address. OK, people haven’t been talking about that article—mainly because I made… Continue reading Just don’t do it
