History of Japan’s grueling work culture
Japan’s supposedly terrible work culture is not a recent trend. Although it was a thing since the 1970s during its glooming days, the country has a history more profound than that. This work culture is one of the strategies for Japan’s economic miracle several times. In this episode, I will discuss the history of the Japanese work culture and how its culture affects itself. When this work culture didn’t help, everyone’s stuff was utterly in question, and the Japanese people questioned their existence. Here’s what I found.

What you learned about the Great Pyramid of Giza construction is wrong! (Video)
What you’ve learned about the Great Pyramid of Giza’s construction is wrong. We have a brief idea of how the Great Pyramid of Giza was built. However, we began to realize something wrong after finding plenty sources from the ancient Egyptians and other experts coming with new theories. Therefore, I decided to provide you with the options and evaluate more of the bigger picture of how the Great Pyramid of Giza was constructed.

How did Theodore Roosevelt got shot but still delivers a Fiery Speech?
I explore the assassination of Theodore Roosevelt. Wonder why did he manage to escape that and deliver a speech? Tap play to find out.
Theodore Roosevelt is one of the greatest US presidents. But few get a chance to know more about him. Today, I bring you to learn about Theodore Roosevelt and how he gets to the US presidency. Theodore goes through several things before getting into the assassination. He did things such as establishing some antitrust laws on stopping corporations from John D. Rockefeller, J. P. Morgan, and others. Theodore, in the meantime, works on preserving wildlife and having the country be more involved internationally. But then he leaves the country to explore species only to return with problems. Because of this, Theodore fights back just to come close to the assassination. And when he did, he delivers a fiery speech that sounds as if he's in good shape. How did he do that?
