“Why are you still single?” Even though I have been asked this question countless times, I still never know how to answer it. 

Numerous studies have shown the negative effects of sleep deprivation. However, the problem of excessive sleep is also something to be wary of. 

We know their stories, or we think we know them. Theirs are stories of success that earn the admiration of the entire world. We see the moment of victory and wish we could be in the place of the victorious ones, without realising the effort and sacrifice that are behind that moment of glory.

The birth of Jesus Christ is one of the most significant events in human history.
