The workforce is often difficult to navigate. Many of us are flying blind. Maybe a guidance counselor tried to help, or parents pointed to college as the golden ticket to career success.

Theoden, held under the spell of Saruman and twisted by the words of Grima Wormtongue, is the perfect picture of a black-pilled man. But the good news is he didn't stay that way. But there is also hope: Theoden is redeemed. He learns afresh courage, valor, & dies with honor, fighting for his people. At his death, he utters words that are as powerfu…

Amateurs talk strategy, but professionals talk logistics, according to General Omar Bradley.

The more powerful a tool or a weapon is, the easier it is for its users to get lazy when using it. As more and more tools get automatic features, it gets easier for us to be lulled into a false sense of competence.
