You Do Not Have An Ego
Robert Cinque Cinqueterra You do not have an ego and neither do I. What we have is a belief in ego, big difference. Does a belief in something make it true?

This Is Water
In 2005, author David Foster Wallace was asked to give the commencement address to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon College. However, the resulting speech didn’t become widely known until 3 years later, after his tragic death. It is, without a doubt, some of the best life advice we’ve ever come across, and perhaps the [...]
