Product Description
By The Author:
Growing up, I always had a knack for engineering, a knack that intensified when I began my full-time job as a design engineer right out of college. Unfortunately, while others were able to turn off their engineering careers after work hours, I could not. I spent my entire free time analyzing my life, a recreational pastime that eventually led to the creation of my first blog site, ofilispeaks.com. A site that not only served as virtual storage for my public speaking business but also as an outlet to document my findings on life. My hobby soon turned into a full-time passion as the articles from the site were downloaded in over 20 different countries across the globe—all of them seemingly interested in knowing “Why I Almost Got Arrested,” “Why I Got Kicked Out of Starbucks” and the interesting conclusions I extracted from those experiences.
But it didn’t stop there. Being a perpetual doodler by nature, I began to draw sketches that illustrated the world from my perspective. And so another blog was created, ofilisketches.com, that became even more popular than ofilispeaks.com and has emerged as my greatest route of expression. The site is a collection of sketches on relationships, business, and life in general.
The fusion of ofilispeaks.com, ofilisketches.com and my childhood stupidity gave birth to the book “How Stupidity Saved My Life,” which is an honest, humorous and motivational look at what happens when we over-analyze our lives.
