I was reading this book titled 100 Ways to Motivate Others by Steve Chandler & Scott Richardson. In #45 it says: “The Most Important Words in English Language: 5 most important words: I am proud of you! 4 most important words: What is your opinion? 3 most important words: If you please? 2 most important … Read more

The other day I heard the notorious professional football manager Jose Mourinho said, “They are guided, they discover the way. I’m not Waze.” I found that line so funny when he said “I’m not Waze.” He then added, “They are special talents. Without the team, they cannot express what they have.

I do, right? Well, that because I had to record a video for my boss’s birthday video on Wednesday, so had some make up on to look prettier for the recording. Inside, though it was just Day 2, this isolation is really getting into me. Not feeling pretty at all but so lonely and miserable. … Read more
