How Can I Grow My Business Without Paid Ads?

A young woman named Charlotte was upset because her family could not afford all the expensive textbooks; she needed to attend a course on computer coding. They had struggled to afford the course at all. Her mother heard her crying and came to sit down next to her. She held her hand.

“Charlotte, you know that program you use to talk to your friends?” she asked.
“Yes Mum, it’s called WhatsApp.”
“Do you know the man who created WhatsApp?” her mother asked.
Charlotte shook her head.

“His name is Jan Koum, and he came from a family who had money problems.
His mother would babysit for a living, and Jan had to work as a cleaner while he was still young. Jan didn’t even go to university.”
“But WhatsApp is so successful!” Charlotte said.
“Yes, it is now,” Charlotte’s mother said. “That just proves to you that it’s not about education; it’s about making yourself a master in the things you want to achieve.

There are a million ways to do something right.

All you have to do is look for a solution that you can do.
Jan Koum worked very hard, and then he made billions of dollars when he sold WhatsApp.

What other paths can we take to help you grow?
Is there another way you can get access to those textbooks?” Charlotte’s mother asked.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
