Why Is No One Getting Hired?
We hear it all the time these days: so many jobs and not enough employees to fill the positions. It seems crazy to think that with so many people out of work, yet so many available jobs, that we are struggling to get people hired. There are a lot of theories as to why this […]

Relationships Are Only As Difficult As We Make Them
I don’t declare myself to be an expert on relationships, as there have only been two people in my life who became serious love interests for me. One was a marriage that lasted nearly a decade; the other an engagement that lasted three years. When it comes to telling people what they should do when […]

You Get What You Pay For
They say the best things in life are free. It would be nice if that were true, and perhaps if you’re talking about money, it has a ring of truth to it. However, it is the unfortunate truth that anything worth having has a cost associated with it, something we have to give up in […]

Life is More Like Burger King Than Denny’s
A few times during the course of my life I’ve heard the phrase “you don’t fill my cup”. This rather innocuous phrase is an indirect pointer to the way our society has evolved over the last century as we become more and more consumer centric. One of the most dangerous mindsets in the world is […]

A Life of Aimlessness
I’ve said a few times before on this blog that I struggle with knowing what I want to do with my life. Over the course of nearly four decades, I’ve done so many different things that most people probably wouldn’t believe it. If I recall, I covered some of that in one of my first […]

Successful Ignorance
“The world will always need ditch diggers.” This saying, or whatever version you might be familiar with, has been around for as long as we have had modern industry. As people have moved from primarily farm based activity to jobs in production, we have been constantly striving to move beyond the need for menial labor […]

The Problem with Being Unrealistic
Human beings reach for the stars. It’s in our nature to be unsatisfied with what we have and constantly strive for something better. The drive to succeed and accomplish great things is what has propelled us from living in cold, dark caves to the fantastic level of technology that we enjoy today. There is nothing […]

Inequity is Correct…For Now
It’s a word that just about everyone hates these days, like every other word that has become politically charged through the actions of one group who has decided something is bad. Some people hate what the word represents, railing against a system they see as unfair and exclusionary. Others hate it because it assaults what […]

Too Much Content
I think most people would agree that the internet is probably the single greatest advancement that human beings have made in the history of our existence. Never before have we had this level of connectivity, not just with those people in our immediate sphere, but with people from all around the world. Practically unlimited information […]
