The Courage to Master Fundamentals

Without the fundamentals, the details are useless.

– James Clear –

The Courage to Master Fundamentals

Mastering the fundamentals may be difficult, but, it allows us the opportunity to engage whole-hardheartedly in the real work at hand — without getting too lost in the details. “When you eliminate everything that is unnecessary,” offers writer, James Clear, “there are no details to hide behind.” Read more to learn how a simple shift of perspective can make a big difference. { read more }

A Safe Haven In Nepal

I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.

– Charlotte Bronte –

2010 CNN Hero of the Year, Anuradha Koirala, started Maiti Nepal (roughly translated to “mother’s home”) to protect Nepali women and girls from crimes such as domestic violence, trafficking, prostitution, child labor, and other forms of exploitation and torture. Since 1993, Maiti Nepal has helped rescue and rehabilitate more than 12,000 women and girls, providing a safe place for them to recover and grow. The children call Koirala “elder sister,” a moniker she accepts with pride. “You have to take each child as your daughter,” Koirala urges, and asks you to join hands to create a society free of human trafficking. { read more }
