It's hard for us to know which thoughts define us and which thoughts don't.

The inner dialogue constantly running the backstage of our minds. It's an interesting aspect to us to take a look at. 

The thoughts and opinions we form without ever giving it a thought. About the people we love and the situations we find ourselves in.

Thoughts that come and go so quickly, almost impossible to hold on to and grasp.. 

We have certain expectations,  resentments or feelings that bother us and we never bring them up with ourselves or our loved ones, and that slowly eats away at us. And then it all comes out suddenly out of nowhere.

In the last 30 minutes of the episode I go through my bachelor thesis topic "Online Educational Platforms as a Two-Sided Market: Success Factors in The Middle East".

I discuss what two-sided markets are, and how Educational Platforms have students and instructors that are both interacting on a platform together. And how a platforms actions on one side of the market affect the behavior of the actors on the other side of the market. 

I'm curious to see where the future of online education is going because it's a big part of the plan of what I'm trying to build. Currently with the courses I'm making that you can find on www.midnightwisdom.com and in the future of the platform that I plan on building in the Middle East.
