These are some reads that are either very related to the untemplate message or just plain awesome stuff.

This week’s weekend reading is called Xin Nián Kuài Lè Edition’ because today marks the eve of Chinese New Year: the year of the Tiger. As always, the beginning of a new year is a time to reflect on the past and look to the future. The following articles touch on the various topics we’ve covered on this site so far including entrepreneurship, overcoming your fears, and finding your passion. Take a look:
