May 15th, 2012

Life is a lot like a poker game.  Players put down their money and take a chance at either winning the jackpot or losing their shirts.  There is both an element of luck and skill involved, but essentially it all comes down to what you’re willing to risk.

But let’s back things up a bit and examine the people who simply watch the game.  They’re not willing to put the risk involved to see what happens.  And that’s where the metaphor ends.  You have a choice about playing poker, the game of life though is much different.

May 6th, 2012

There’s no doubt that leadership skills are important. I’ve needed leadership skills in just about every job I’ve held. In fact, those skills will become even more important to me once I graduate and become a teacher.

Are You Remarkable or Forgettable?

April 15th, 2012

If I were to meet you at a party, would you be someone I would remember? Depending on the size of the party, that might not be such an easy task. As you meet people throughout the night everyone tends to get grouped together. Names become much harder to remember.
