How I quit ‘Coke-ain’
August 14, 2017.
Me and my roommate Roy are completely broke. The salary from our part-time job comes in a week. We look around our house for leftover coins. We look everywhere from old backpacks to the underneaths of sofas and beds. We accumulate around ¥1100. We are ecstatic. We feel on top of the world. Guess what we did? We bought 5 bottles of 1L Coke and 5 cans of 500ml Coke. That’s how addicted I was to Coke. We were broke but we needed a week’s worth of Coke.
5 Lessons From 2 years of Content Creation

Will Instagram suffer from Feature Fatigue?
The year is 2010, a new photo sharing app launches. 10 years later that same app lets you post videos, share stories, send messages, make video calls, go live and now make tiktoks. Are all these new features enhancing the user experience or will instagram suffer from feature fatigue?
Do you always need the latest?
We live in a time when the latest and greatest comes every single year. Every company comes out with a new product with the best and latest features every single year. That puts us, consumers, in a very difficult situation. The question we need to ask ourselves is, do we always need the latest?

New start. New place. New experience.
Anything that's new gives our brain the satisfaction of novelty. Why is novelty important? Novelty has been associated with releasing dopamine in our brains. As you probably know dopamine is known as the pleasure drug. But recent research has shown that dopamine is not the reward itself. Rather it makes us want the reward.
