Building Strong Businesses Through Strategy and Adaptability
In the modern business landscape, adaptability has become one of the most valuable skills an entrepreneur or business leader can possess. Markets evolve quickly, consumer expectations shift constantly, and external pressures—economic, technological, or social—can reshape industries overnight. In this environment, businesses that survive are rarely the fastest-growing ones; they are the most thoughtful and resilient.

Ai and America
In 2026, Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn’t just a buzzword — it has become a central force shaping the software industry in the United States. A recent study published in Science shows that AI-assisted tools are now helping write almost 30% of all newly written software code in the U.S. — up from just about 5% a few years ago. This rapid shift highlights a drastic transformation in how software is built, how developers work, and how jobs in tech might evolve in the coming years.

The world order likes to introduce itself as a set of principles.
From 2010 to 2025, that tension between military dominance and national interest did not fade. It became the soundtrack. Every headline felt like a reminder that power still matters, but power now travels in new forms: data, supply chains, energy routes, sanctions, alliances, debt, and the quiet leverage of who controls the platforms where money and information move.

9,000 dollars for a BTS Ticket?!. Content Warning.
I need to rant. What is pissing me off is these scalpers online buying tickets and doubling the amount just for people to buy it for the double price. I do not know what is the reason behnd that ,but I promise you... none of that makes sense. Here's why I'm saying this. I'm saying this cause this happened to me again about BTS and trying to get tickets to go . I promise you it's like really frekaing irritating when you are trying to get them and you get outed by jackasses ( scalpers ) that want to double the price like it's a fucking Knicks game.

Daily Liturgy — January 21, 2026
Today the Church celebrates the Memorial of Saint Agnes, Virgin and Martyr, and the liturgy invites us to reflect on courage, fidelity, and the quiet strength that comes from trusting God completely. As we continue through the Second Week in Ordinary Time, the readings place before us two powerful images of faith in action: the youthful confidence of David as he faces Goliath, and the steady, uncompromising mercy of Christ as He heals on the Sabbath. Together, they remind us that God’s power is often revealed not through force or status, but through obedience, humility, and love that refuses to yield to fear.

The Woman Behind the Name
I used to think being known was a gift. Then I watched a woman walk into a room and become invisible the moment her husband’s name was called. One minute, she was herself—sharp-eyed, quick-witted, full of stories. The next, she was “the wife of,” a footnote in someone else’s narrative. Her degrees, her work, her dreams—all folded neatly into parentheses.

Daily Liturgy: January 20, 2026 – Tuesday of the Second Week in Ordinary Time
Today’s readings invite us to reflect on God’s extraordinary insight into human hearts and the gentle ways He calls us to serve Him. In the first reading from 1 Samuel, the prophet Samuel is sent to anoint the future king of Israel. When he sees Jesse’s sons, he is impressed by their outward appearances, but the Lord reminds him, “The Lord looks at the heart.” Samuel anoints David, the youngest son, a humble shepherd, chosen not for what the world sees but for what God perceives within. This reading teaches that God often works through the seemingly ordinary, calling forth greatness in ways that defy human expectation. The psalm echoes this theme, celebrating the faithfulness and guidance God grants to His chosen servants, reminding us that God’s perspective is always higher, wiser, and deeper than our own.
