I want you to imagine an 11-year-old girl's room. The door is slightly a jar and from the hallway you can see her bed lined with lovingly placed stuffed animals and her white desk covered with halfish drawings and piles of books. The afternoon sunlight spills across the oak floor and there she is sitting on her bed staring at a piece of paper in her hands.That girl, me and the paper, my X-ray, my spine curved into the unmistakable shape of an S. Coming home from the doctor's office that day, I was shocked, ...

My twin brother Jack and I were both born weighing 1 lb 11 oz. If you were to hold about four sticks of butter in your hand, that's how much we weighed. We were the miracle babies.This is Jack at two weeks old wearing my mom's wedding ring around his arm. We both survived despite our lungs and heart being undeveloped. Right after this picture was taken, Jack had a brain bleed which caused him to develop cerebral palsy.Cerebral palsy is an injury to the brain that affects movement, speech, and coordination. ...

In a documented physics experiment, a single domino was shown to knock over another domino 50% larger than itself. When you repeat this pattern, by the 30th domino, it would be long enough to topple the Empire State Building. The small but mighty power of this plastic tile encapsulates how compounding growth works.Now, what if I told you that money can grow the same way. When I first learned this, it completely changed how I thought about investing. It made me realize that wealth is not a question of luck o ...

Last summer, I made a decision that completely changed my life. It was exhausting. It was expensive, but also very fulfilling.I adopted a puppy from Helen Woodward, and her name is Dory. And if you've ever raised a puppy, you know it's not just cute, it quietly takes over your entire life. I was suddenly outside at 6:00 a.m. in my pajamas negotiating with a tiny furry boss about when and where she was willing to go potty. Very quickly, my routine became her routine.And then on our walks, I started to notice ...

Before we start, I need to ask a very serious question. Why did the chicken cross the road. No, don't answer yet.This question holds a lot more importance than you may think. Because right now, half of you are confident you know the answer. The other half worried how to make their answer sound more seasoned.Someone in the back is probably thinking, "Is this a trick question?" And one person is wondering whether or not they'll be judged for even putting an answer out there. You see, this is the issue with th ...

Dear audience, if you looked up at the sky tonight just with your eyes, you won't be able to see it. But as we speak, a star is being born. In fact, hundreds and millions of them, a process spanning millions of years.All in the endless abyss we call space. Now from the birth of the universe, we learn that becoming takes time, ever so slow, quiet, and patient that our eyes simply can't perceive it. Because after all, beautiful things have always happened so subly.Not loud, not sudden, just gradually. And I t ...
