I tell people to set motivating targets and goals. In fact, this is a very powerful process that motivates. Unfortunately, because of the bad rep of motivation, it seems like many people who are planing their goals never achieve them, then this leads to them thinking that motivation is a sham.
Motivation is a STATE. You [...]
I found it funny because I was sitting down listening to a group of people from a specific group that I shall not name. They were complaining about why their employer was unfair. In reality, their employer (a sizable organization) had been changing the way they ran their business over the number of years, which [...]
I think a lot of people miss the point in the whole point in the controversy in the medals. If you want to be territorial, it’s simple. Who did what, and argue about the value of how much you sacrificed.

I truly believe that whatever [...]
I read with great interest the responses in the Forum to the Principal’s tone regarding the idea that some 60% of students won’t be able to graduate from their syllabus. In my opinion, I think many people will find problems no matter how they attempt to argue their case against the principal.

IÂ was watching with a sense of morbid horror when I turned on the TV to cactch the latest on CNN. I couldn’t believe what reporters said was “the worst massacre in US History”. A South Korean international student killed 32 of his other classmates before killing himself.
What happened?
Was this senior English major just nuts? What [...]
I don’t know what it was for Friday the 13th for you, but from what I heard from one of my friends, it was a horrendous experience. I had a quick email that summarized it all, and the root of it sounded like conspiracy and backstabbing to me.
There was a glitch in some paperwork in [...]
