history
Key historic events throughout the ages in relation to business, work, corporate figures and moguls.
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.

Time Slipped
The grandfather clock in the hallway didn’t just chime; it groaned, a heavy metallic protest that echoed through the draughty floorboards of Blackwood Manor. Arthur checked his pocket watch—a silver heirloom that had been right twice a day for a century, but was currently spinning its hands like a propeller.

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.

Why Most Relationships Fail — Even When Love Feels Real. AI-Generated.
Why Love Alone Is Not Enough Most people grow up believing that love is the most important ingredient in a successful relationship. Movies, books, and social media constantly reinforce the idea that if two people truly love each other, everything else will somehow fall into place. Unfortunately, real life tells a very different story.

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.
