How to make him like you a bit more

I believe most people confuse love with how they feel, so they assume that the things they want are what the other person wants as well. True love in its purest form, is about the other person.

Well, if it works then why isn't it working for you?

Something rather embarassing happened to me some days back. I was chatting with some acquaintances, and the subject of how to make money came up.

Then when that company grows it can nurture and reinvest in more companies of its own. I've met a lot of great developers with beautiful ideas, but they sit on those ideas and soon, years pass without anything being done. With this article I'm hoping to provide some insights and more
