Money can serve many purposes. It can be used to buy things for consumption. It can be used to buy objects that convey status (Rolex, Ferrari, Cartier diamond necklace). It can be used as a way to keep score, such as on the Forbes 400 list of richest people in the world. It can be used to buy other assets — a house, an academic degree, a mutual fund.

Many managers harp on the all-too-disorderly whirlwind way of doing business these days. Today, even when we leave the office, we are always accessible, we are in constant contact with others and typically, we are expected to be “on” all the time. If we do not respond to an email or a text within a certain number of minutes not hours, we know we will get a call.

Many people think of selling as a talent you were born with. Is there any truth to that? Well, yes. In fact, everyone was born with the talent to sell from day one. You were born to ask for what you want, even if those asks were pre-verbal and unconscious. “Feed me, change me, protect me, love me.” All as natural as breathing. However, over time the talent to sell, to ask for what we want, was educated out of us.

Do you ever encounter perfection rules when you write (or create in any way)? Maybe you've heard these statements—or you've said them to yourself: We must spend a lot of time “polishing” to create perfect writing. We must not publish until the work is perfect. We can create a perfect piece and it's worth our time to do so. I wish I could tell you any of these were true.

One of my pet peeves is web pages or sites that say they are “Under Construction.” I am astounded that even in 2021 I still come across this message and noticed that some have it displayed on their site for years!

Don’t set out to prove someone wrong, focus on proving you’re right with evidence and examples. Otherwise, you’re involving others’ egos and emotions and you’re going to make your battle more difficult, despite the merits.

When there’s water all over the bottom of a refrigerator it’s a sign something is wrong. Our Samsung refrigerator has a problem, and it seems, judging from YouTube videos, it’s been going on years and they haven’t fixed it. Refrigerators use coolant, which changes from a liquid to gas and cools the air, which then has lower humidity. The excess water is to drain and be evaporated by the heat from the compressor.
