We believe a romantic partner is there to provide us with love, comfort and security. So people are quick to make judgements and lay blame on perpetrators of what they see as a significant…
My dear daughter, There will be times in your life when nothing seems to be going as planned; when everything you want seems out of reach when you feel you can’t take it anymore, and you feel you can’t go on because the situation seems hopeless. As humans, we paint ourselves a picture of what we presume our life should be based on societal norms and peer pressure, when, instead, we are meant to savour and appreciate our present. Rather than counting our blessings, we are preoccupied with what we are yet to attain. My dear, no one can foretell…

In the world of branding, one of the major tools brand makers use is a ‘logo’. While this is very straight forward to understand, not everyone gets it right. Most iconic brands, mega corporations and tech giants all spend a lot of money to develop, fine tune and refresh their company/brand logos from time to time. Everyone involved claim they have everything figured out on this most important asset of identity for their brand. However, brand researchers have shown that just a few companies actually think about the long term impact of what they do with their logos and its…
It is indeed a very sad situation in this day and age that we have a good number of graduates still searching for jobs many years after graduation.
