Advice for People in Their Early 20s

A young woman wrote to me recently about fears about the future:

‘I’m in my 20s and I’m trying to figure my future out. I’m just wondering how to stop worrying and letting the fear of the unknown totally consume my daily thoughts (I’m moving from Sweden to American and have no idea how to find a job, a place to live, etc.). I’m very much scared of the future, even though I have overcome obstacles before.’

The first thing I would say to her is: You are not alone. Lots of people, young and old, are afraid of the unknown, especially when things are not settled, everything’s up in the air.

I'm extremely cool with Soso Soberekon and Kcee so I really didn't expect them to get me involved in something like this.

See for yourself and be the judge...

Use Haters To Drive You To Succeed

Everywhere you look – haters. With social media so abundant in today’s day and age, and allowing people to cross communicate around the world at such high speeds, you don’t have to look far to find keyboard warriors and negative criticism, and even hate.

After a big and unexpected corporate shakeup

Google announced Monday that it’s separating many of its businesses into a “collection of companies” that will be part of Alphabet, a new company headed by Google CEO Larry Page.

Since launching in 1998, Google has expanded from a search engine into a sprawling operation with operations in everything from the life sciences to self-driving cars. The new corporate structure will give Google itself a tighter focus on its main competencies while spinning off businesses that are “far afield” of those efforts into separate companies, Page said in a blog post.

Google proper will continue to include search, ads, maps, apps, YouTube and Android, the company revealed in an SEC filing. The slimmed-down Google will be led by Sundar Pichai, currently senior vice president for products and Larry Page’s right-hand man.
