The Odyssey by Homer This ancient epic poem by Homer is by far my favorite book of all time. I have always enjoyed reading ancient Greek mythology and I am engrossed in the complex phenomena that they attempt to explain.

I badly wanted to change myself. I had a lot of bad behaviours that have a huge impact in my daily life. I wanted to improve. I’ve been trying to do it for years. Before the start of 2016, I told myself that I will change. Now almost half of the year have been wasted and I am still stuck with my old ways. I wanted to be a better husband to my wife.
