Pitfalls Of Metrics

Just like statistics, anything with numbers can be selective honesty.

  1. If the click-through-rate or the percentage of people clicking on your ad is increased, does it mean better earnings? It won’t work if the ad is just a false click-bait.

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.

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!

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

Laetitia Berton

Jamyson Haug
