Freedom, the moment you define it - is not free anymore.
Chances are you shouldn't do it
There I was, sitting in this big white hall. In front of me, an empty ocean of blue cushions, neatly organized by lines and rows. I counted 50 in total, a 5x5. At my left, another group of 50 blue cushions, for the male section - that hall is the only place where both genders share a space. The other participants start arriving, in silence, and sit at their designated cushion - the butt companion; the cushion that, by the end of the 10 days, would be the closest physical connection all those ...

Power law of life
I'm not an investor and this is not financial advice. I'm also not a guru and this is not life advice also. These are just words. There's one massive mental model I learned from Venture Capital that I wish I had in my early 20s. It's called the Power Law. "The Power Law from a venture capital standpoint, in basic terms, states that the odds of creating outsized returns for investors increase as you invest in more early-stage companies." In other words, VC is a game of fail...

Dia da Liberdade
Hyderabad, Índia - Fevereiro de 2011. Dois dias antes de voltar pro Brasil, fui me despedir da escola que voluntariei durante o mês de janeiro. Demorei uns vinte minutos pra descobrir que era o Dia da Liberdade – feriado nacional indiano - e, por consequência, todas as ruas estavam interditadas. Depois de muito negociar, consegui com que um tuktuk (taxi) me levasse, com a condição de que fossemos por fora da cidade – levemente sem opções, me vi obrigada a concordar. Fizemos uma rota longa, pa...

Why I Recommend Everyone To Have A Near-Death Experience
October 4th marks the memory of my biggest lesson about the impermanence of life. October 4th, 2019 was the day I got diagnosed with a brain hemorrhage and had to undergo urgent surgery on my skull. As dark as it sounds,I highly recommend everyone to have a near-death experience - or you can just skip the medical bills and family drama… and start living life to its fullest (easier said than done). I’m often asked “what was your last thought before not knowing if you’d wake up” so thought I’d ...
