As part of a daily blogging challenge, I am writing about things that can make you happy/ happier.

Today – knowledge and connection.

I’ve recently discovered Quora, thanks to Stephen Fry who went on about it on Twitter.
It’s a forum like Yahoo Answers but with professionals answering users’ questions.

I think the first thread that attracted me was about astronauts avoiding panic attacks in space. Initially I thought I did not have time for one more information source but as I got rid of my Facebook account, I kind of got into it.

Quora is very interesting. Get subscribed to their digest and read the threads that interest you. You can post questions and answers too. Entertaining, learning and connecting – three in one!

My favourite 3 recent threads: Most mind blowing facts about Sweden, the most embarrassing moment of one’s life and what to do if one gets shot.
