I find, when you're an optimist, life has a funny way of looking after you.

Ever heard of Christopher Nolan's lost gem?

Before Inception and Interstellar, before even Memento, Nolan made a short film called Doodlebug (1997). A psychological thriller, it follows a man desperately trying to kill a tiny creature in his apartment—only to discover a chilling truth.

We wondered… what if Doodlebug was reimagined in anime style? 👀

We’ve done exactly that—stay tuned. The link drops soon.

learning is like a colour wheel

if all you could see was black and white, the world would be bland

each time you learn something new, you're adding colours to your intellectual palette

the more you learn, the more colourful the world becomes

what you know determines what you see in the world

She can’t shake the feeling—eyes on her, shadows trailing her steps, an unspoken presence lingering. She lives alone in the apartment... or does she?

American psychiatrist Irvin Yalom wrote about awakening experiences—events that shake us from default routines, crack our defensive barriers, and open new possibilities.

Some of them can be major, such as the loss of a loved one, divorce, war, and illness.

Others can be referred to as “a sort of petite existential shock therapy”—sobering thoughts that lead you to reconsider how you are really living.

It took a combination of both to reawaken my consciousness.

I see now, the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.

"To fund his golfing ambitions, McIlroy's parents took on extra jobs. Gerry worked 100 hours a week; he cleaned toilets and showers at a local sports club in the mornings, served as a bartender at Holywood Golf Club from 12 to 6 pm, then returned to the sports club to work behind the bar in the evenings. Rosie looked after Rory during the day, and worked night shifts packaging rolls of tape at a 3M factory in Bangor, County Down. Due to their conflicting schedules, McIlroy's parents rarely saw each other during this period. Gerry later said: "I had no idea what else to do. I’m a working-class man. We wanted to give our only child a chance."

After finding success as a professional golfer, McIlroy bought his parents a house in 2009, and stated: "I’ll never be able to repay Mum and Dad for what they did, but at least they know they’ll never have to work another day. I’ll do whatever it takes to look after them."

“He operated out of a tiny study at home that could be entered only by passing through the bedroom. He worked odd hours, a night owl like Susie, reading annual reports in his pajamas, drinking Pepsi-Cola and eating Kitty Clover potato chips, enjoying the freedom and solitude. He pored over the Moody’s Manuals looking for ideas, absorbing statistics on company after company. During the day, he went to the library and read newspapers and industry trade magazines.

He took care to handle everything of value personally, a pleasure in and of itself. He typed his own letters on an IBM typewriter, carefully lining up his letterhead sheet on the carriage. To make copies he slid sheets of blue carbon paper and tissue-thin onionskin behind the first page. He did all his own filing. He did the bookkeeping himself and prepared his own tax returns. With its numbers, accuracy, and the measuring of results, the recordkeeping aspect of the job pleased him.”
