Lately, I am reading a lot here, and on other publications. I forget that sometimes, but when I do, I find amazing pieces that deserve the attention. These writers have the talent and need to be recognized.

Dr. Preeti Singh

Reflections in a Dream World — This is such a lovely poem about dreams and its reflections. Exactly what life is all about.

Gesture of Love — Another great poem. This is a lovely poem about love as in nature.

Ali

Ancient Eastern Philosophy Quotes to Make You Smarter — I didn’t know those philosophers and their quotes, but I heard of Buddha and Confucius. I read nothing of philosophers, although I have a philosophers’ dictionary. Maybe I should open it once.

Florian Hoffmann

How Large is Your Mental Memory? — Who else is busy with numbers and your memory? Well if it is, then I have a great article for you. It is about how much memory someone saves during a moment. Is it 7 or is it 4?

Tim Ebl

Find Your Killer Morning Writing Routine to Get to the Next Level — “Pick your topic the night before.” Well, I never have done this for me. Great advice from Tim. Thanks, then I’ll do that the next morning.

Thomas Oppong

5 Habits of Emotionally Agile People — I knew that these habits existed, but I didn’t know I could check a few of them who I am. Many thanks, Thomas, for giving the insight.

I hope you loved these stories as much as I did.
