Here's why ‘WHY’ is such a profit-making marketing trigger.“Stop taking two and three plates of food,” my mother said to me angrily.I was at a wedding and seven years old.

an inspiring thought suddenly spark out of the blue, like an
irresistible itch I can't resist, a thought that must be put into
words, into phrases, into sentences, into paragraphs - until I am fully
satiated and saw that I have just made my own masterpiece.Writing

the fruits of my skill with words. It just started on a one, gloomy day
