Are You “Job-ifying”?

"Job-ifying" is a game that people play. The game consists of the following: Comparing your clothes to others Comparing who has the biggest car Comparing who has the biggest house Finding out who to please at work to get a "promotion" Gossiping and spreading rumors about people you don't like Comparing how big your pay… Continue reading Are You “Job-ifying”?

Judging Babies

If someone goes up to a baby and says: "What could this thing ever achieve??!! Look at it, it's so weak and helpless! It will never accomplish anything!"

If You Keep Doing More Stuff, You Will End Up Poorer, Less Healthy And Less Smart

Subtraction I would say that around two-thirds of the patients I see in my clinic every day have problems related to something that they are choosing to do. Chest infections caused by smoking.

The Baby Boomer generation often accuse the younger generations of being lazy, flippant with their money and devoid of the grit that is needed to succeed in life. The Baby Boomers often argue that leading a happy, financially… Continue reading Baby Boomers Vs Millennials!! (They’re both wrong….)

Work At Its Best

I recently came across a poem by Kahlil Gibran, about what Work at its best actually is.  Here is an excerpt: It is to weave the cloth with threads drawn from your heart, even as if your beloved were to wear that cloth. It is to build a house with affection, even as if your beloved were to… Continue reading Work At Its Best
