Childhood fascination with notebooks turned me into their collector. Notebooks, with reams of pale unexplored paper bound together by two hard covers, represent a boundless heap of possibilities.

I start to imagine all the doodles and secrets I would soon scrawl onto its bare surfaces. I adore the latitude notebooks afford and spent many hours with unfettered imagination to be ingenious and creative. These notebooks excite me the same way a blank canvas provokes an artist to create a ...

“Meaning cannot be invented but must be discovered” is a mysterious viktor Frakl's lesson that I learned by experience.

Neil had brought me camping and surprising enough, I enjoyed it a lot. As I reflected and wondered how my ideas of happy moments were far from the happiness and unexplained joy which I had at that moment, Neil was out fixing breakfast. I hurriedly dressed in ...

This means adjusting one’s skill level in order to allow the campers to feel good about their performance in these games.
