What is something everyone should know?

The only good human being is a dead one.

To be successful you need friends, but to be very successful you need enemies.

History will always glorify the hunter until the lion learns to write.

The devil is and will always be a gentleman.

Judge a man by his questions and not by his answers (Don't apply this on Quora)

If you eat well, get good sleep, exercise and drink plenty of water, you'll die anyway.

It is not your job to be everything to everyone.

He who gives up shyness in monetary dealings, in acquiring knowledge and in business, becomes happy.

The more you sweat in practice, the less you bleed in battle.

Lastly, be weird, be random, be crazy, be who you are. You never know who would love the person you hide :)

How do I develop a strong presence and personality?

Be stylish - Brush your teeth. Trim your hair. Wear cool clothes. The result? People are going to find you “interesting”.

Move like a boss - have you ever seen how CEOs walk? They walk like a winner. Do the same. Open up your torso, slide your shoulders to the back and maintain eye contact. Don't appear close up when you're with people.

Be a positive person - Today, negativity is everywhere. It’s in our family members, friends, co-workers, you name it. Hell, it’s even in air. Therefore, chances of remaining positive are low. However, if you possess the ability to tackle anything in front of you, then “chances of remaining positive” become high. That, ladies and gentlemen, is what I call “mental toughness”.

Like people - having a strong personality also means you're not a douchebag or an arrogant bastard. Learn to like people, it will make you positive around people and make your smiles and warmth genuine..

Listen - do you know there was a study that showed that people would be paid to be listened to. Therapist earns hundreds per hour just to listen to your sad story. So give others this luxury for free. Listen and pay to others.

Eye contact - Maintain eye contact while talking. This may take practice. A word of caution though: this may vary depending on the culture you are in.

Be Passionate- Have a passion for something extracurricular and be very good at it. For example, sports, music, etc.

Focus - Focus is the key. Be a very focused person. Have a laser-like focus. Again, this is not easy and requires practice and consistency.

Attitude - This one is the most important. Maintain a cool attitude in every situation and be very Emotionally Intelligent.

Read books - The one common pattern among all the successful persons is that they all read books.

What is the biggest life lesson you have ever learned?

If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.

Leaving your hometown in your 20s is a life hack.

Reminder: vibes don’t lie, people do.

You don’t have to prove anything to anybody, including yourself.

Don’t chase people. Be an example. Attract them. Work hard and be yourself. The people who belong in your life will come find you and stay. Just do your thing.

Marry a man who wants to be a HUSBAND, not a man who just wants a wife.

Trust, loyalty, respect. Fuck up 1 you lose all 3.

To whoever reads this, someone out there feels better because you exist.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but cutting off toxic friends or family doesn’t make you a bad person.

How do you know someone's true personality?

Travel with them.



Everybody behaves well with you in an air conditioned restaurant. Everybody behaves well with you at their or your home. Because we are comfortable then.


Real nature comes up when you miss your bus to the destination, the hotel you booked tells they cannot provide you the room, or the person loses his/her wallet , or you have only one packet of chips left with you and many more.


People are like glass. You have to throw water at them, clean with a cloth and then you will see the real them.

What psychological fact made you think "no wait, really"?

Well, I've never studied psychology before, but what's more than a silent boy who studies things deeply!



I've got billions, but ill find them in good words.


Women generally prefer men with deep husky voices because they seem more confident and not aggressive

The smarter the person is, the faster he thinks, and the sloppier his handwriting is.

People who have a strong sense of guilt are better at understanding other people’s thoughts and feelings.

Good morning and good night text messages activate the part of the brain responsible for happiness.

Doing things that scare you will make you happier.

People who try to keep everyone happy often end up feeling the loneliest.

Being lonely for a long time is as bad for your health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

These were facts that surprised me.

What's the best life lesson you've ever learned from a fictional character?

Good people can often follow dark paths because of trauma beyond their control.

Forgiveness sets you free

Life is the struggle where people might have to be decent in a troubled world.

Life is mostly about experiences that unleash a tangled chain of pain and hatred, one that will consume us all if we let it.

Giving haters a taste of their own medicine won’t heal your wounds

Don’t live your pain and don’t let your anger control you

Bad times do not announce their arrival

Villains are humans too. They have a heart too and emotions as well

What are some confidence hacks?


Practice positive self-talk: Pay attention to the way you talk to yourself and make an effort to replace negative thoughts with positive ones. For example, instead of saying, "I can't do this," say "I can do this."

Dress for success: Wear clothes that make you feel confident and powerful. When you look good, you feel good.

Stand tall: Posture can affect your confidence. Stand up straight with your shoulders back and head held high.

Take care of yourself: Getting enough sleep, exercise, and eating a healthy diet can make you feel better about yourself and improve your confidence.

Set achievable goals: Setting small, achievable goals can help build confidence as you accomplish each one.

Learn new skills: Learning new skills and taking on new challenges can help build confidence.

Focus on your strengths: Instead of dwelling on your weaknesses, focus on your strengths and what you do well.

Practice mindfulness: Practicing mindfulness can help you stay present and focused, which can improve your confidence.

Surround yourself with positive people: Spend time with people who support and encourage you. Positive energy can be contagious.

Fake it till you make it: Sometimes, acting confident even when you don't feel it can help you become more confident over time.

What are the most effective ways to learn a new language?

I currently speak 6 languages: French( Native), English, German, Chinese, Japanese and Korean


Let me tell you briefly how I did that.


Put in your head that learning a language is easy, you just need time and patience, that’s all

You can absolutely become as fluent as a Native.

Don’t listen to anyone telling you you can’t, most people around you don’t speak more than one language and have some fixed mindset about language learning which prevent them from being open to learning and improving. You are different. You know you can become VERY good if you just trust and do what I will tell you right after.

Don’t rely on professors to teach you. A language is a tool of communication. It has to come from you and you have to be proactive to apply what you learn and improve fast.

Find the best book to learn the language you target. Just one book is enough. Don’t fall into the “Application” mania. An application or a dictionary is just a tool, a “helper”.

Every day, take 30 min to read that book until you finish the book. Go slowly, do all the exercices.

When you have some very basics and you know few phrases, find some friend speaking the language and go practice what you learn. Don’t be afraid to fail or to speak incorrectly, no one will laugh about you. Everyone speaks incorrectly before speaking correctly. Just think about babies: If a baby was waiting to have the perfect grammar to start speaking, he would never say a word. Instead, use the “ Fail Fast Forward” approach. Fail quickly, then listen to the correction. Ask others to correct you. Then improve.

When you understand few phrases and you feel you are okay to present yourself, start to watch dramas and series in the language you target. My advice is to watch dramas with subtitles in the language of the country language, NOT yours. The purpose is to listen. when you don’t understand, pause and search in the dictionary. make lists of words. If you don’t understand 100%, that’s okay. Try to understand the gestures and you will see that after some time, you will start to understand more and more.

Repeat all those steps: Find more books, dramas, friends.

Go to the country and study there. Speak with locals, be curious about the culture.

With this method, you will be fluent in less than 1 year.

8 Life lessons you should learn before experience


You should realize no one is coming to save you. Your life is 100% your responsibility.

Normalize walking some paths alone because goals are personal; no one has your dreams.

If you continue waiting for the right time, you'll waste your whole life and nothing will happen.

The most difficult mission on earth is to focus on your dreams; the easiest task is to complain.

Your current job doesn't care about you. They only pay you enough to fulfill their own dreams.

Your life partner remains to be your greatest financial, physical, and emotional decision. Marry wrong and you'll forever suffer.

To realize the value of life, you need to grow alone.

Maturity comes with acknowledging you know nothing and taking time to learn from everyone.

What are some habits that will benefit you for a lifetime?

Don’t waste time feeling sorry for yourself. Mentally strong people don’t sit around feeling sorry about their circumstances or how others have treated them. Instead, they take responsibility for their role in life and understand that life isn’t always easy or fair.

The moment you wake up, say “I am grateful for life” or “today will be a good day” let the universe know what you appreciate and what you hope.

Breathe. The day hasn’t started yet, don’t worry too soon. Take in the moment you have right then and be aware of the present, not of the hours to come.

Watch the sunrise. When I wake up late, I feel like I don't have enought time to do my work and lose my motivation. I literally panic and then I think "whatever, I could not complete all the things anyway". So, if you wake up earlier you will feel more positive and controlled.

Keep a journal of your thoughts, dreams, worries, what you’ve eaten, make a weekly schedule. Just clear your mind.

Smile at everyone. A small, genuine smile can change someone’s day.

“Discipline is doing what needs to be done, even when you don't want to", which means that you have to force yourself to start doing things.

STUDY SPACE. You should find a quiet space, so you won’t get distracted. Preferably your room or even a library if possible. The quietude is essential because it gives you the opportunity for concentration (also you will not get bothered)
