Happy Children's Day for all children in the world!

Do you know what's the meaning when someone says, "I literally know what you meant"?
Literally means "actually" or "without exaggeration". So, when you say "I literally ...," it means you're describing something exactly as it happened; you're being literal.

“Ninety-nine percent of people believe they can’t do great things, so they aim for mediocrity.”
Tim Ferriss

Many of us are taught from an early age to have practical goals. We shouldn’t try to be a rock star, supermodel, or astronaut because the chances of success are so slim.

But it’s time to challenge those self-imposed restraints. As Ben Nemtin, from “The Buried Life”, pointed out: “The level of competition is highest for realistic goals because most people don’t set high enough goals for themselves.”

Don’t be afraid to go for your wildest dream. It may take more effort, but you’ll also be more energized.
