Why Wait For An Inspiration? 

If you have to wait for an inspiration to slap you in the face or drag you out of the bed, nothing would be accomplished. We’d probably be living in a world with no innovation (imagine how weird things would be without the internet) without putting an effort. It’s literally putting one foot after the […]

I nearly dropped dead when I stumbled across this research done by the Dermatology researchers from the University of Cape Town (UCT). It warns South Africans, particularly men, about the clean-shaved haircut known ekasi as “chiskop” could cost your health. Scary, right?
