Smoking.

Be Financially Free – Lesson 4 – Current Pace

By Robert Chen On April 23, 2012 · 6 Comments · In Financial Freedom

The fifth @dailyshoot assignment was about looking around. The task was to see the numbers around us and take a photo of a favorite number. As I walked through the city I quickly became aware of lots of numbers all over the place, something you don't usually notice. I was specifically looking for the number four, and found an excellent specimen painted on a leg of a yellow crane (leg number four).

By Robert Chen On April 17, 2012 · 6 Comments · In Personal Development

We all have dreams.

But why don’t we pursue them?

Why do we go on doing what we don’t like to do just because we’re supposed to?

Why don’t we do what we really want like travel the world, start our own business or write that book we’ve tried to find time for?

Is it [...]
