Personal and privileged.

There are things only you know, and only you know you know them.

You don’t need to write like Faulkner.

Ha! Ba Humbug!

Whatever you say today may be the most important thing someone hears.

It may seem mundane, even trite. No matter, it matters!

If you take a business trip to a country you have never seen before, you should at least have an evening to enjoy it and sample the real place.

There is no doubt this will benefit you and your company.

If this is not within the company’s policy you have some changes to introduce.

Travel can educate. Ignorance is not bliss!

At a young age, learning when humor fits in or when a joke helps, can seem conspicuously tricky.

Later, choosing noodles or rice with that dish and whether to comment on a misstep or not…tricky.

How can we encourage people to say “thank you” every time?

Why?

It makes such a difference to everyone’s lives.

We are often, understandably, preoccupied with big world events.

But millions of positive small actions, are all that is needed to provide the oil under grand slam events, so they can be steered in a good direction.

“Thank you” is a social and worldwide lubricant that can oil the wheels of wisdom and improvement.
