Do you have to cheat to win?
Kia ora e hoa,
A few days ago, I witnessed an act of kindness. I was in the waiting room while my mother had an X-ray.
While I was waiting, a mother rushed past with baby in one hand and bag in the other. She stopped to rebalance herself. She was about to put her baby on a chair when another lady, also waiting for an X-ray, offered to carry the baby.
What a fantastic gesture? I was being completely useless, on my phone scrolling nonsense. I just wanted to share this nice with you all.
Vlogmas is in full swing. I've hired an editor for the first time too! So hopefully, this will save time and stress.
I've also been struggling with Advent of Code. I've missed a few stars out, but I tell myself that it's okay because I am making decent attempts.
Something that has also been on my mind is competition. More specifically, do you have to cheat to get to the top? Our world is so competitive. A good example of prime competition is the Olympic Games. And after every Games, there is often a drug scandal. In fact, it's not even that scandalous; it's expected. I explore this topic in my blog post. So please, have a read and let me know what you think.
Feel free to share this or any content with anyone you think will benefit. Thanks for reading and talk soon.
Ngā mihi nui, Shivan
