  Did you know that Tomas Lindahl, Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry failed the subject in high school? Or that John Gurdon, Nobel Prize Winner in Medicine ranked dead last in Biology in his year?   And yet, both of them made it to prestigious universities and won the most eminent award in their fields!   The truth is, while high school scores are important, they can only take you so far in your college applications to leading global universities. To stand out from the crowd, there is one thing that elevate your college application above all else – A high school passion project!   Unlike a class project, a passion project is an independent or group project created to achieve a specific goal or mission. This could range from helping an underprivileged community, to solving an entrepreneurial problem and more.   A project like this, especially one that YOU are passionate about, can showcase your commitment, focus, creativity, resourcefulness, motivat...

 Introduction The notion of leadership has been extensively analyzed and examined, but a comprehensive way to define leadership skills has remained elusive. For me, leadership skills are oxymoronic as leaders have qualities while managers have the skills. Managers use their skills to direct the employees to a particular task, while leadership is a quality possessed by leaders for employees to get guidance for their work. There is no one leader in a firm, but obviously, there is a specific manager for a department in a firm. That’s where the distinct boundary line is penned.  Everyone hunts for a leader over any other profession in today’s generation. This is because a leader is someone who attracts people to work, can complete a certain task without being bossy or overpowering the others, and have an approachable and inspiring personality, which people look upto. A leader is anyone who guides you to the right path and provides you with constant guidance to achieve what you asp...

 Do you also believe public speaking is a nerve-wracking skill like I do? Yes, fear of public speaking is pervasive in all ages, especially teens like us who are hesitant to speak gibberish. For this reason, it may become a difficult pill to swallow. Public speaking is often overlooked in school, which results in children not being acquainted with the skills to speak in front of a large gathering, especially on a prompt topic. This results in high palpitations and a state of a meltdown when faced with the possibility of being asked to present a topic in public, even when the subject is well versed in your brain.  As seen in most of us, when given a topic to present in front of the class or school, we usually hesitate, have a second thought or wait for the time to pass by quicker. And then, you may have realized it too. Don’t we all end up envying the person comfortable in public speaking? While you struggle to complete it quicker, you question how the other person is good at t...

 Move to Earn – The Latest Crypto Craze! You have definitely heard about the proverb – “Health is Wealth” but guess what? In the past few months, Move-to-Earn applications have built an environment where users can earn money by engaging in different kinds of physical activities.  New startups that are built on the move-to-earn model are creating a new category of organizations called “FitnessFi”, where the “Fi” stands for finance. Until now, fitness applications would reward users with in-app memorabilia (badges, trophies, etc) and reward points that they could use to get discounts at a variety of stores but Web3/Blockchain Based M2E (Move-to-Earn) startups are rewarding users with digital assets that you can trade for good ol’ cash! Studies have shown that an application that rewards users for physical activity will greatly increase physical activity levels among people, which is a priority in the digital age that we live in. While the advent of smart wearables contributed to...
