Academic Performances and Life Outcomes
It has come to my attention that although we journeyed together through the same educational institutions, our academic outcomes were not identical.

Soft Life Can Be Dangerous
Let me start by saying I’m not really a “stories, gossip, lungus” kind of person. I lean more towards being quiet, but every now and then I find myself in the gym steam room, listening to conversations. You know how it goes, everyone talking over each other, no one really listening, yet somehow, meaningful points […] The post Soft Life Can Be Dangerous appeared first on The Namibian .
