What You Should Be Reading Instead of This

The best online goodies out there that I didn't write (but wish I did)
I cringe like an epileptic wacko whenever I read something so good. I cringe cos I say to myself, “hey you, why didn’t you think of that?!”. Yes, sometimes it’s funny how I beat myself up for wanting to be as good as these bunch of brilliant people. There are so many good and easily digestible reads out there - sometimes, all you have to do is just sit and click one link.
Here are some of the best reads out there right now, which I hope you get inspired to the point of cringing in your seat! Haha. By the way, in case you missed it, I did this one before, and I would gladly do it again for you guys. Enjoy!
