Complex ideas are built upon simple ones.

What animals make the best/worst pets? I’m lucky, I had my fair share of pets. There were turtles, birds, beta fishes, goldfishes, cats, and dogs.

What job would you do for free? Here’s a plan for when I retire… I am a true-crime enthusiast, I’d love to investigate a real cold case. After solving it, I’d write a book. Then, I’d host a podcast. Hopefully, I’d land a TV series or documentary on Netflix as well. But let’s not get…

What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most? As a proud Brazilian, I enjoy watching football (soccer) during the Olympic Games.

Yes, we are strong when we can embrace our differences, tolerate other beliefs, respect all cultures. When we have no fear to…

If you could have something named after you, what would it be? This is my 125th post, and tomorrow I am on a 90-day streak writing on this blog! Full three months writing everyday.

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up? I was too young to remember what I wanted to be when I was five. Trying to look back, I just have scattered pieces of memory from that time. Some of the things that I remember, though… I remember helping my…
