The Ambition penalty

Women are expected to pay a severe penalty on regular basis for having an ambitions. It’s never one to one comparison between man and woman in work places. Actions that are considered admirable for man is considered troubling for woman. This needs to change. It will need first recognition to identify that this bias exists. Secondly, we will need to start taking steps to make it equitable for woman.

It’s a joke

Waist of money

Hear me out

I was setting up the app but as soon as I seen a photo of someone with 5 starts next to him and a name called Paul, with a detailed review saying "This is simply the smartest app that exists... It's much nicer to spend your time learning new knowledge with key ideas from books, rather than spending hours browsing social media." But then it turns out the photo is 97% fake ai misleading to be a real review and that’s untrustworthy to me so uninstalled instantly, if they do that just on the setup screen then what do they actually put into your minds

New viewpoint

The soundtrack was very relaxing, but riveting. I was able to focus entirely on the message and to leave by my daily issues aside. I s also liked the idea of learning in a peripatetic mode.
I look forward to future episodes and experiences.

The seven sin

Is delightful you wake up in the morning to hear someone read a book to you because sometimes. It can be a challenge to just read a whole book for the day that’s my challenge for the day today is Sunday, 16 August and I need to finish reading my book.
