My Ten Best Stories
Come indulge in the crème de la crème.

I read Dr Mehmet Yildiz’s article where he encouraged Illumination writers to compile their top ten stories a short while ago. (How is he is so kind and supportive by the way? I’ve never seen someone encourage writers the way he does, props to him for that.)
I’m a little late to this challenge but since I don’t self-promo my writings anywhere at all ever, (At least not for now) I thought I should give this a shot.
So here you go.
1. Reader’s Choice:
The title is pretty self-explanatory. This one is by far the most popular article of mine. (No guesses why here :P)
2. My Personal Favorite / Very Short Short-Story:
I found a novel lying around in my room & started to reminisce about our journey together. I found that book in Egypt and carried it everywhere. I ended up taking it to the beach where it ended up getting a water bath. I wrote this from the book’s perspective & absolutely love how it turned out.
3. The One That Generated The Most Passive-Aggressive Behavior:
This article had more external views (DM’s/ e-mails) than internal ones. It humors me every time I think of the passive-aggressiveness involved. Need a friend to listen up when you talk? Share this article like 90 others!
4. My Humble Attempt At Encouraging You To Say “No”:
A Physics magazine added him to their mailing list. Feynman put them in their place, nicely.
5. The One About Teaching & Leadership:
This one’s written solely from personal experience, so it has no credibility. But then again, Medium curated it under Education & Leadership, so It must account for something.
6. The First One To Get A Double Curation Standard:
I summarise the best things from the KonMarie Method to help you start cleaning up your closet! This is a clean list. (note the pun)
7. The One With A Little Personal Storytelling:
I wrote about how I started my journey into Martial Arts and what keeps me going 1 year later, short & sweet.
8. A Super Fun Project I Took Up:
Took a National Geographic’s Traveller, cut out everything I liked, and made a list of the same.
This was one of the most fun things I’ve done with a magazine to date.
9. The One With The Most Research:
I know I said research, but this one is not boring!! Sustainable fashion is a topic I feel strongly about. It’s boring to people who don’t get it yet, but I urge you to try understanding what it’s about.
10. Do You Know The Difference Between Courage & Stupidity?
This lesson is taken from a dialogue exchange between Robin Williams and one of his students in “Dead Poets Society”. You can leverage so many things to your benefit with this learning.
This is the end of my self-promo. If you stuck around till the end, you’re one of a kind. I mean, no-one sticks around until the end of someone’s self-promo, right?
Thank you, unique hooman.
