The other day, I was mulling all I’ve seen and done in the 47 or so years I’ve been on this planet. And I came to the conclusion that I’ve seen a lot of history. Geopolitical changes, social upheav…

I’m about the same age as the article’s author, Scott Nesbitt, and find that his conclusion in this article in spot on. The technology might help facilitate the process (for me, I can’t get my ideas down well or organize them well when handwriting), but in the end, it’s the actual writing that is the constant. 

Read this article. He makes a great point.

Now this is an interesting development that was brought to my attention on Google + by Justin Schwamm. A course-creator plug-in for WordPress that essentially turns WordPress into an LMS! Check out this article to find out the details. Looks like an interesting concept!

In her best-seller Wild (which was recently made into a movie), author Cheryl Strayed recounts her experiences as a young woman hiking alone for 1,100 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail. Although woe…

Larry Kunz has some good advice here, and his timing for this article couldn’t be better. I’ve just been faced with a situation in which I’m totally not prepared for, but I have the fortune to be able to plan for it, at least. My problem is not knowing what direction to start following to make something positive out of the situation.  I’m very determined to not fall into the "imposter syndrome" he refers/cross-references this article (another good article to read as well). It’s certainly a slippery slope, but I guess it’ll be like Cheryl Strayed that when the process is done, I will learn something about myself (hopefully something good), and will learn something that will help me move forward. 

Take a look at these article.

I liked reading this article because I have a fascination with English being considered a dominant international language, especially in the business world. The company where I consult is one of those companies based in a non-English speaking country, but its official language is English. At first, I thought it was due to the strong American presence on the Internet, but I’m finding that it’s not necessarily so. It’s also not due to the emergence of former British Commonwealth (or current Commonwealth) countries. There is a huge percentage of the world that speaks English as a second language–why? Why isn’t there more Chinese or Russian or Spanish or Arabic or French (or maybe there is, and I’m oblivious to it)? 

Take a look at this, and check out this perspective. Then tell me what you think. Is this individual correct that this is becoming more commonplace? Why do you think that is? I’m definitely curious to hear your view.
