The magic of a weird word
There's a secret not many of us have heard of – how to be a Bawse. What in the world is this, you may wonder? Well, let's ask Lilly Singh; she's the one who created it.Being a Bawse is not about luck or waiting for success to find you. It's about rolling up your sleeves, setting clear goals, and working hard.Dedication and perseverance are the cornerstones of being a Bawse. Shortcuts and slacking will not take you where you want to go, and the final destination won't look how you imagined. Quality matters, but in this case, it's also quantity. Becoming a Bawse means putting in the time and effort to make your dreams a reality.Yet, this path isn't that threatening; in fact, it's the opposite. Positivity and gratitude are the byproducts of hard work we rarely think about.
Healthy growth is never pretty from the outside because progress is happening within.
On the flip side, being a Bawse also reminds us about humility and understanding that we're all part of something greater. Creating an environment where Bawses thrive is essential, and it starts with acknowledging our place in the “ineffable plan.”We don't have to settle for mediocrity. Here and now, we can go through a crash course of organic success without losing ourselves in the process.Remember, becoming a Bawse takes time and effort. It's not a quick fix but a lifelong commitment to personal growth. But what can bring more joy than collecting the fruits of hard labor?Are you ready to try your luck, or should we say Bawseness?

Playing is not silly, you silly!
As we get older, we become more serious and outwardly anxious. Unlike the children we used to be, we grow to forget about the simple power of play. Think back to the joy of Nintendo games 一 that feeling of excitement, creativity, and pure fun. Believe it or not, harnessing this power can be transformative. Engaging in activities that ignite joy and creativity can help us break free from the daily monotony.Yet, one thing keeps us from retreating to childhood mode: a cluttered mind. Having countless thoughts is inevitable as we get more responsibilities, but we start overlooking the importance of controlling what goes in and out of our minds. There's simply no headspace for everything. A cluttered mind can lead to indecision and inefficiency, much like a computer overwhelmed by too many open programs. So, next time you face a daunting decision, try this:1. Break it down.
2. Analyze the pros and cons.
3. Check in with your emotions, especially the negative ones, and don't act on a whim.
4. Make an informed choice.Emotions are vital to being human, but they shouldn't always dictate our actions, especially in professional settings. We've already mentioned them above, haven't we? When frustration or anger strikes, stepping back to reassess the situation with a clear mind can lead to more productive outcomes. It's like taming a wild horse — the initial instinct may be to react, but it's wiser to pause and guide it calmly.
