The other weekend, I was heading into Central London by tube when a young family joined the carriage. It was a mother with her two daughters; they seemed excited and eager to get to their destination. The girls appeared totally different from each other. The older sister seemed a bit like a tom boy in […]
Trading…
Indeed, these are financial times. Trading with a demo account over the past few months have been exciting, educative and an eye opener in more ways than one for me. From placing a trade and watching the market go in unpredicted directions to managing positions to making and losing money have stirred up a range […]

Care…
The other night, I rushed to meet my girlfriend in the Accident and Emergency ward of a hospital in North London as she had been suffering from stomach pains all day. We spent about three hours patiently waiting with others. The room was full of discontentment, agony and despair; it was a humbling experience I […]

Vulnerability…
I was out for dinner with a friend the other night and she was really upset from an earlier argument with one of her friends. Apparently this disagreement was intense and it brought up old resentment and irritations. Both are rather stubborn and strong willed ladies and this was like the straw that broke the […]

The Journey…
It’s been ages since I last performed a DIY exercise. I recently bought some furniture so I had a chance to get back at it. It was a most interesting Saturday afternoon I have to say. I realized I didn’t have any tools so I had to buy a screwdriver set and hammer from a […]

What they really want…
I remember back in 2011 after my graduation from Business School, my job search was a very interesting process. I had spent considerable resources, time and energy to train my mind to able to think outside the box, analyze complex data and be better rounded in my perception of business. I was keen on continuing […]

Teaching Pains…
Over the last few years, I’ve ventured into the Private Tutor space in London. I believe it’s somehow related to the fact that my Mom is a teacher and I also grew up tutoring my siblings and peers. I’m a numbers man so you can imagine I stay with Math, which I believe is the […]

I caught the Hiccups…
The other day I caught the hiccups. Now this was a pleasant surprise as it’s been years since I recall ever catching one. It lasted for about 15 minutes en route home one afternoon. I was on the tube; the initial hiccups were unexpected and sounded pretty loud, which was a bit embarrassing. I later […]

Look but don’t touch…
It’s part of company culture where I’m currently working to celebrate Fridays. The morning is filled with Happy Friday greetings, big smiles and conversations on weekend plans. We also tend to treat ourselves to breakfast out as a reward for a good job over the week. Like is popularly believed, treating yourself right is important for self-confidence! […]

The Learning Process…
I recently finished a Tech course. This was a very interesting experience as it’s tied in with the new direction my career is heading. Just to be clear, I have no formal qualification within Computer Science, Engineering or the likes but I do have a keen interest in the logical, mechanical and technical world as […]

Imperfections…
I’ve always had a keen interest in the Financial Markets. Graduating with a 2.1 in Economics and starting my career with a Global Bank was exciting; it exposed me to great minds, strong systems and complex products. I have 6 years of Institutional Financial Services experience under my belt at the moment and I have […]

Comfort Zones…
Few weeks ago, I spent a Friday night at a roller disco in Vauxhall. Now I write this because this was my first time trying such an activity; so there’s a part of me that was second guessing my desire to give it a try. I went around the rink about 5 times of which […]

Even they, aren’t perfect…
I always listen to my teachers but right now I’m learning about their mistakes and feel a bit withdrawn; where can I find the best teacher for life’s lessons? There are teachers all around you. You don’t really need to restrict yourself to those with titles or credentials because life in itself is […]
