The Perils and Pitfalls of Pursuing Success: A Humorous Take

The Perils and Pitfalls of Pursuing Success: A Humorous Take

Ah, success - the elusive beast we all chase after, like a cat trying to catch its own tail. Some people spend their entire lives in pursuit of it, while others stumble upon it by accident like a drunkard finding a $20 bill on the sidewalk. Regardless of how you define it, one thing is for sure: success is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're going to get, but you hope it's not the coconut-filled ones.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
