Seeing is Not Believing

When one looks at Robson Lindberg, you would have no idea he suffered from traumatic brain injury. You wouldn’t know, that still, to this day, he suffers from four different kinds of headaches, extreme tiredness, constant pain in his lower extremities or that his right side is weaker than his left. That goes to show how deceiving looks really are and furthermore, why every person deserves the basic human right- to have their story heard. I stress to my readers, do not judge a book by its cover, for if anything, Robson is proof of just that. “I shouldn’t be here,” that’s how he started bu...

Segway- The Convenience that Became Inconvenient

It was dubbed “the next big thing after Apple Macintosh.” The Segway was a two-wheel form of private transportation. It was invented by Dean Kamen and first shown to the public in 2001. It was intended to revolutionize how people traveled around cities. Instead of driving or taking various forms of public transport, one could now stand straight on a Segway, which with its computer board, could balance itself. The driver would hold onto the handlebars and controlled it by leaning either forwards or backwards. The projections were that they would be selling 10,000 units per week, totaling...

Biography of Marie Antoinette

Marie Antoinette is one of the most well-known names today. She is known for being married to the king of France, for throwing lavish parties, spending excessively on clothes and jewelry, and mostly for neglecting the people of France, which ultimately led to her head being chopped off. But are all the rumors true? And did anyone bother to ask themselves why Marie Antoinette failed so miserably as a queen (if she failed at all)? With all the knowledge we have today in psychology and behavioral sciences, isn’t it about time someone retold her story through a modern perspective? Wasn’t ...

Finnish start-up ReOrbit aims to revolutionise space industry

The exponentially accelerating pace of techn...

The Purple Dress

Once upon a time there was a girl who, just like many other girls, had a wonderful grandmother... Not only was she a wonderful grandmother but she was so loving and had so much light in her that she brought out the light in everyone else around her as well. The child's parents would ship her off to her grandparents' country once a year, usually during her summer break. Her grandmother loved her so much that on grocery store visits, she'd let the girl fill her miniature cart full of cookies and candy, even though it was a bit excessive at times. At home she'd let her granddaughter sleep ...

A Picture Speaks A Thousand Words

A picture speaks a thousand words. One picture, it seems was the defining moment in Pata Dagerman’s career. It made the difference between what may have remained as only one man’s private exploration as a hobby, and a budding career as a highly successful public speaker. I had heard of Pata when I first began working at MySpeaker, inside the MySpeaker Rhetorich Community. ”One of their best speakers,” they said and although I remain eager to meet every speaker who passes through our doors, I patiently wait at the back of our office. One day, Pata (real name Patrick) doodled his way down ...

A Brush with Mortality that Turned Back the Clocks

You never know how speaker’s are made these days. That’s the thought that ran through my head when Terrence Mauri told me his story and how the turning point in his life and career, was waking up under a car, with a tyre burning on his leg. For most people a brush with mortality might cause them to become more cautious at the fragility of life. However, for Terence Mauri, he felt, now more than ever, the need to feel alive and to encourage others to feel alive through the power of words. He calls the accident, as having encountered the “ultimate disruption,” – his own mortality. This is ...

The Lady who Became a Ray of Sunshine

Holding her hands to the sides of her head, she says, “I could go oh my god and stress about the situation or”, moving her hands back down beside her, she says, “I could just accept the present moment and that there is nothing I can do to change the situation.” It was Nanna Bhose’s words which rang in my head as I finally accepted defeat against the wind and rain. I put the umbrella I had been fighting with down and just calmly walked through the storm, “Fine, I accept the situation as is.” Only mere hours before, I had arrived to work, curls in my hair gone, now looking like a wet mop ...

How the Tides Turned from Social Exclusion to a Company set on Social inclusion

You know why this story is so hard to write? Because stories like this shouldn’t be written. Stories like this shouldn’t exist. Stories like the one you’re about to read, should only ever exist in our worst nightmares. Unfortunately, in the world we live in, that isn’t our reality but it should be, and I hope this will be one of the few times I have to write about the extent of the human capability for inflicting pain. Well, where do we start? At the beginning of course. Many years ago, a newborn was left on the streets of Bangalore. A newborn, yes you read right. For what reasons, we’ll...

Annie has helped with the processes of telling my life story. She has made it easy. Being a C-PTSD survivor usually it's hard to communicate the trauma's. I've come forth to share my story to help others. Annie's empathy and due diligence made the process of memory recall safe and a dream of comfortability for my mental health. I would recommend her first in a heartbeat.
