The Unholy Alliance

[5 min read]

Politics, they say, make strange bedfellows.

This is a tale of a steamy affair between the People’s Republic of China and The Russian Federation. An affair that invokes fear in its purest form and suspicion in its darkest form in the bleeding hearts of other East Asian Nations.

Football’s Vocal Gaffes

                                                             
Footballers and their managers don’t exactly top the charts in terms of IQ's. Some of them even say things that tempts you to believe the myth that their excessive nodding of the ball may actually dislodge the smart guy upstairs to be stuck up their backsides. So as Ol’ Eric Idle always said: “Look on the bright side of…” well…football this time. My responses are in parenthesis. Grab a chuckle!


   "They're the second best team in the world, and there's no higher praise than that." – KEVIN KEEGAN

Olumide: (“in Ted Mosby’s voice” Kids, you see why Kevin never became a Champion throughout his managerial career? He just doesn’t believe there is such a thing as First position)

Quiet [By Susan Cain] - Book Review



About the Author:
Susan Horowitz Cain (born in 1968), was a former lawyer, an American writer and lecturer. She's the author of the 2012 non-fiction book; Quiet; The power of introverts in a world that cannot stop talking. The book Quiet, has been on the New York times bestseller list for over 3 years, and has been translated into 360 languages.


Review:
Today, introversion and extroversion are two of the most exhaustively researched subjects in psychology - arousing the curiosity of hundreds of scientists. In Quiet, Cain carefully analyzes the two types of personalities. She defines introverts as 'People that are drawn to the inner world of thoughts and feelings' and extroverts as 'People that are drawn to the external world of people and activities'. It is passionately argued, impressively researched and filled with indelible stories of real introverted people who ended up being extremely successful innovators of our time.
