Hubris. There’s a lot of that going around these days. This decade. Humblebragging has become a funny bit in social and professional circles. You know what is lacking, though? Teachability. Just because someone can “google” they may believe they have done their research and are experts at X,Y, […]
There’s wordless Wednesday. Or so there is in the social media world. Some just post a photograph with no explanation and the image do the talking. I’m not quite sure how it started. I like the idea, in theory. However, I find that I always need to say […]
Today is supposed to be a lucky day. However, by just stating that, I habe probably jinxed everything. Hence expect it to be an unlucky day. Unless, of course, I knock on wood while I state all this. I’m quite superstitious, you see. All day today, I’ll be […]
