Valerio, I read two of your three articles that went viral.

You are a classic trivia writer. A person successful in life learns these kinds of things in high school and reinforces that knowledge during the first years of work, not by reading articles like yours, but by reading a few good books. Then that person has eyes and ears open for new stuff and finds new books worth reading from time to time. But most of all, successful people are busy achievers. They perfect their skills by learning from their mistakes.

Tabloids give an illusion of learning to people who did not learn in schools what they were supposed to and are too lazy to read books. Sadly, more people read tabloids than serious publications.
