"The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." Nelson Mandela


Ever wondered why small things matter so much in life and language? Imagine a towering tree, rich in history, axed in a heartbeat—its tale uncovering a massive cultural wound. Now, picture a young girl sidelined in her shining moment, and the uproar that follows. But what do they have in common? You'd be shocked to find out.

"The only way to do great work is to love what you do." Steve Jobs
