I secretly hate myself everytime I read and appreciate a motivational blog for how futile is the effort of reading it without practicing anything from it. Still, I will share this article:

P.S. Very unlikely post to share on a Valentine's day, with all the sweet cheesy, mushy mushy stuff floating in (the virtual / social) air. Still I stand today by my personal and professional goals, and write this post in pink to share my love for these two things ;) 
This is also my satirical display of refusal to conform to the nonsense in name of "celebration of love" that is commercialized, silly - defying the goochy-goochy "I love you"s (that are overused and cheesy, and have lost it's meaning), though I never mind the gifts ;)
