IT’S ME, ME, ME, AND THEN ME AGAINWhy do so many people feel the need to share everything they do on social media?
For many, the urge to post every aspect of their lives online stems from a desire for validation or approval. The "likes" and comments serve as a kind of positive reinforcement that makes them feel good about themselves. Each interaction acts like a small dose of dopamine, making it hard to resist the urge to keep sharing.
Social media also allows people to build and display an idealized version of their lives, a sort of digital showcase where everything looks perfect. This might be driven by a narcissistic tendency, where the goal is to attract attention and stand out from the crowd. The pursuit of that "perfect" public image becomes a form of self-affirmation, even if it doesn’t fully align with reality.
It’s a way to compete with others, trying to prove that their life is more interesting or exciting. In many cases, the need to share becomes an endless cycle of comparison and competition, where what really matters is not what is actually lived, but how it is presented to the world.

STEALING IS HARDER THAN IT LOOKSSometimes, the easy way seems like the best choice: quick, no hassle, no effort. But things aren’t always as good as they sound, and if you don’t believe me, just ask these geniuses who thought success would fall right into their laps. The result? Not only did they fail miserably, but some even went home with a "lesson" they probably didn’t expect.
In the end, what looks easy often comes with consequences. Working hard and earning an honest living might be tougher, but it has one undeniable perk: you sleep with a clear conscience. Because starting something—whether it’s a business or a “brilliant plan”—might sound simple, but once you get into it, things tend to get messy real quick.
Sometimes it’s better to admit your limits and stick to working for someone else: less risk, more stability, and, most importantly, no unexpected blows.
