A Bad Mood is Bad for Business
I always remember a friend of mine saying that she never allowed a bad mood in her kitchen. A chef in a bad mood, preparing food, is a recipe for disaster. A foodie who goes by the moniker “Jetgirlcity” said on her blog – “I tried making dinner for my parents tonight, as a thank-you…

The Crime We Inflict Upon Ourselves
Psycho-Cybernetics was THE BOOK TO READ in the 70’s. My parents had a copy and I remember my friend’s parents having copies in their homes. I didn’t read it then and when I was finally REALLY interested in reading it, my mom could not find our copy. I eventually bought a copy on-line for my…

How Are You Using Your Power?
The measure of a man is what he does with power. This statement was made by Pittacus of Mytiline, Greek Statesman and sage. What feelings do you have when you think about power? Do you hold the view as Lord Acton did when he insightfully observed that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely? Do…
Clarity BEFORE Execution. Structure BEFORE Speed
