“Hidden Potential: The Science of Achieving Greater Things” by Adam Grant
Another great read from Adam. As the title suggests, the author explores self-improvement techniques by embracing the unknown and unfamiliar, overcoming obstacles by building support systems, and discovering inner potential—not through the end result, but through the growth that happens along the way.

“Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know about the People We Don’t Know” by Malcolm Gladwell
My intuition told me this book would be a practical guide, filled with tips and examples, aimed at people who struggle to initiate conversations with others. However, it’s not.

Cybersecurity Related Jobs Decline
According to following LinkedIn post: “… the share of cybersecurity-related jobs posted on LinkedIn in the U.S. dropped 5.4% between 2023 and 2024 … “. Here is my opinion on the subject.

Recently, I purchased a rather popular but unbranded power bank (part number YD-819) from Amazon, and boy, did it turn out to be a pleasant surprise!
