DATING FOR LIFE VERSUS ROUTINES

Let me guess.  Every morning you get up and for the first 30 minutes, you routine is pure Pavlov’s Dog.  In terms of getting ready for your day, it’s more efficient to prepare for the day in the same way.  Why reinvent the wheel, as they say. Now you’re entering your daily activities, most likely […]

ARE YOU BETTER OFF SETTING NEW YEAR’S REINVENTIONS?

So, how many of you out there have already broken every one of your New Year’s resolutions?  My guess is that if you haven’t broken them, you may already be on a slippery slope of a broken promise.  As there are millions of resolutions floating about in the ether of hope, there are also millions […]

A METHODOLOGY FOR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS!

Let’s talk about goal setting.  Psychology professor Dr. Gail Matthews, Professor of Psychology of the Dominican University of California, recently conducted a study related to goal setting. Matthews recruited 267 participants who were randomly assigned to one of five groups.  Her methodology is stated below: Group 1 was asked to simply think about the business-related […]

INTERESTING TRENDS IN DATING

I find it interesting that with all of the development of “Love Apps”, technology that makes it easier to find a date, it seems harder than ever for people to fall in love. Although men seem to be having “their cake and eating it” in major metropolitan areas, there is a backlash developing.  Here’s why: […]

EVERY DAY IS LABOR DAY

I’m marveling at the evolvement (mutation) of people’s perception of Labor Day.  Here’s how it started, according to Wikipedia: In 1882, Matthew Maguire, a machinist, first proposed the holiday while serving as secretary of the CLU (Central Labor Union) of New York. Others argue that Peter J. McGuire of the American Federation of Labor first […]

PET PEEVES

A pet peeve is a minor annoyance that an individual identifies as particularly annoying, to a greater degree than others may find it. For example, a supervisor may have a pet peeve about people leaving the lid on the copier up and react angrily, be annoyed when others interrupt when speaking, or by messy desks […]

GROWN-UPS VERSUS ADULTS

Have you ever considered the subtle difference between an adult and a grown-up? Which would you rather be?  This isn’t really a trick question. Webster’s dictionary defines a grown-up as “characteristic of adults” whereas it defines an adult as “fully developed and mature.” Dave Barry says you can only be young once, but you can […]

“CUSTOMER SERVICE” JUST PLAIN WRONG!

Let’s visit Merriam Webster for a moment. The origin of the word “service” is derived from a Latin word, “servus” which means, “slave or servant.”  Maybe that’s where the expression, “the customer is always right,” comes from.  After all, if you are a slave to someone, then your master has the final say. Here are […]

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT TO LOVE YOUR JOB

Ever meet somebody single, male or female, who simply must be in a relationship?  How ever traumatic the last breakup was, the amount of time devoted to mourning the loss is a matter of days, maybe weeks, but certainly not months.  What is the compelling reason for such a quick rebound?  Could it be that […]
