“It’s like meeting someone who speaks your dialect of the soul.”

“Line up. Stand straight. Recite the pledge. Memorise the chapter. Test next week. Repeat.”

“To one person, it’s a masterpiece. To another, it’s just a weird squiggle on canvas.”

“Just when you think you’re at the top, you look up — and realise there’s still more above you.”

“I open my laptop, stare at the blinking cursor, and suddenly every brilliant idea I had yesterday has vanished into the ether.”

“In the scrolling of a thumb, a stranger becomes a saint, a villain, or a spectacle — often without saying a word.”

“A leader is more than just the one in front — they are the heartbeat that keeps the group alive and moving.”

In the time it takes you to inhale, somewhere else, someone exhales for the very last time.”
