Stephen Pressfield, author of The War of Art, states that most people have two lives: the life we live and the unlived life within us, but between the two stands resistance. Resistance is a disease that is more widespread than the common cold and more deadly than the Bubonic Plague. Every human being on planet Earth is a carrier of this disease, it is a disease that will cripple and prevent anyone from achieving what the carrier was put on this planet to do; whether that calling be art, music,…

Automobiles have become an integral part of every day life from personal transport to commercial usage, and they have…
