Around a year ago, Niall Doherty quit his cushy 9 to 5 job and set off to travel round the world without flying. He was not exactly sure how he’s going to make enough money to support him on his new journey but, nonetheless, he took the plunge and dove in. Today, his thought-provoking blog [...]

Bill Gates Zero to Hero Story
Going by materialistic standards of wealth being directly proportional to “success”, Bill Gates is the most successful person the world ever saw. Going by un-materialistic standards of success being the accomplishment of tasks that are beneficial to many, Bill Gates is still among the most successful persons the world has ever seen. Entrepreneurs are but [...]

Old 2011 and New 2012
The past 3 days I spent in the car driving from the North-Eastern part of the States, where I celebrated Christmas with my new family, to the sunny coast of South Florida. It was a long and tiring drive, but provided a good opportunity to reflect on the highlights of 2011 and to think of [...]

Steve Jobs Zero to Hero Story

I sweated and struggled and fought but made very little progress with each try. Nevertheless, I’ve never given up that dream. [...]

Oprah Winfrey’s Zero-to-Hero Story
To me it seems Oprah Winfrey is everywhere. On a recent flight I happened to pick up a random magazine and realized Oprah even publishes her own magazine. There is absolutely no doubt about Oprah Winfrey’s fame, financial status, or impact on the world. My cynical side always associated her personal success with heavy marketing [...]

Kickboxing in Thailand
I was tired and breathless. My Muay Thai kickboxing trainer was punching and kicking me repeatedly. I tried to push him away but he kept coming closer. To say I was praying for the bell to ring would be an understatement. When it did ring, I collapsed into the corner, thoroughly exhausted and wondering how [...]

J.K. Rowling’s Zero-to-Hero Story
Almost everybody heard about the Harry Potter books series, but almost no one heard the incredible zero to hero story of the author, J.K. Rowling. I personally haven’t finished any of the books and actually fell asleep in the middle of the movie, but found the story behind the story more compelling and inspiring. I [...]
