While literacy is taken for granted in modern society, there’s another essential aspect of communication that is often overlooked: social intelligence. Without it, our personal and professional relationships suffer shallowness and often fizzle out. Networking, romance, and friendships are all incredibly challenging without a healthy level of social awareness.

The amazing lifestyle most Western people never had a chance to experience! Have you ever heard about minimalism? If you did, you probably know that it can help you to figure what stuff you really need as well as the materials that are truly useless in your everyday life.

And it wasn’t changing much until one day when I ran into my old friend from high school. We sat down and had a conversation. We were talking about good old times, careers, family, and so on. And he began telling me this story about Minimalism and how it has changed his life in less than one year.
