nice
Being nice costs nothing. All it requires is not being an asshole. The hyperconnected world persona association is easy. If a bunch associate you with a bully and unkind, you are that. But it is more treating others as you would like to be treated. We are all fighting our own battles. Some at work, […]
opinions
One reason I avoid social gatherings is the number of opinions I get to hear. People with no skin in the game has all sort of advice.

When was the last time you took the entire team for an excursion, a day trip on Monday morning? Little things, surprises matter. People cherish it for life. Time […]
