Review on "Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ" by Daniel Goleman
Daniel Goleman's Emotional Intelligence is a groundbreaking book that redefines the understanding of intelligence and its role in personal and professional success. Published in 1995, this work introduced the concept of emotional intelligence (EQ) as an essential complement to IQ, asserting that self-awareness, empathy, social skills, and emotional regulation are critical to achieving success in life and work.

The Last Letter
Elena sat by the window, her frail fingers shaking as she held an old piece of parchment between them. Though the ink had faded, the words were inscribed in her heart. Outside was the first snow of the season and veiled the little town in silken quiet. She stared out into the world that grew old with her, her mind straying to the years that slipped away like grains of sand.

The Forgotten Melody
A gentle, persistent patter of rain fell against the damaged glass, akin to the flow of tears down Anna’s fair cheeks. She was perched at the corner of her bed; a tattered music box accompanied her, which she did not expect to give out any sound. The designs were almost nonexistent as its childlike owners, as it should have been with her.

Review of "The Fight"
Fifty years can be a very short jump in time… As I mentioned in a previous piece, Jake Paul just defeated Mike Tyson in a match where a much older fighter was expected to destroy a much younger and less experienced up and comer (Paul is 27; Tyson, 58). All the material and reviews I read before the fight supported that argument. I was almost tempted to put money down on it…but I did not. And I did not watch the fight. A part of me knew that all the experts and all the prognosticators were looking at the fight with the wrong ideas in mind. Many of them wanted a name they knew to take back what was once his; they wanted history to keep rhyming.

The River of Lost Time.
The river ran backwards on the day the Queen vanished. It was a strange sight, the silver waters, once flowing steadily towards the horizon, now rushed upstream, twisting around the jagged rocks as if they were rebelling against nature itself. The villagers watched in stunned silence, unsure whether to be terrified or mesmerized. But no one knew it yet the river's defiance was only the beginning.
