The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. This Chinese proverb reminds us that we should focus on the present and the future and not dwell in the past. But does that mean that the past is unimportant? Certainly not. Used unproductively (ignore it, twist it, ...]]>

The conversations we don’t have are the ones that cause damage. There are usually reasons to avoid these conversations: The topic is a sensitive one.

What’s the worst that can happen? That’s a question we probably ask ourselves routinely when trying to decide whether to do something new.

Indispensable and important are two different things. Very few of us are truly indispensable. All of us are important. But convincing ourselves that we are indispensable can not only feed our ego, but can also be really dangerous…in two very different ways. Over Inflating Our Need To Be Involved We may convince ourselves that the ...]]>

Yogi Berra, long-time all-star catcher for the Yankees and quote machine, died recently. This is one of about a million articles written in tribute to him. But it is probably one of the few that genuinely celebrates his unorthodox use of language that, in all likelihood, is more responsible for his fame than his baseball ...]]>
