Confession of the Day
I can’t really say this out loud to anyone in my personal life because it would hurt my family members and my friends would try to console me because they love me but honestly, my life has been ruined due to my ugliness.
What is the Sunk Cost Fallacy?
The sunk cost fallacy refers to a thinking mistake people sometimes make when they consider past investments (such as time, money, or effort) in a decision-making process. It happens when someone continues investing in something, even though it no longer makes sense or brings benefits, simply because they have already invested so much.

The Titan, a submarine owned by OceanGate, which offers tourists a unique opportunity to visit the Titanic wreck for a hefty price of $250,000, is controlled by a surprisingly affordable video game controller. This revelation was made by Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate, during an interview with “CBS Sunday Morning” last year.

The #1 mistake people do when they start building a habit is relying too much on willpower. They believe that building a healthy habit like daily exercising, is only possible if you go hard and you push yourself everyday to show up and be disciplined.

Confession of the Day
I’m 30 and my little brother is 24. He’s honestly the best brother I could have asked for. I still remember the day he was born and holding my newborn baby brother when I was a kid. As we grew up I always knew he was different but he’s my brother and I love him and I wouldn’t change him. He’s honestly one of my best friends and having a brother with downs syndrome, especially one like him has made me a better person.
