For us, we have the seven wonders of the world. But what about the worst mistakes that we as a society make? He writes the “Seven Blunders of the World”. These are the mistakes that are made in […]
I loved Oprah’s show today. Especially, knowing the fact that it’s Women’s history month, I think we should all realize just how much women have done for humankind in all aspects of our lives. Today’s show was centered on older women who have made strides in their respective industries. This show is […]
