Rerun The New Year signals the start of a five-month period that I like to think of as the Window-of-Opportunity Sprint. If you’re serious about accomplishing great things in 2017, you’d be wise to come out of the starting gate fast today — and keep going at full speed through at least the end of […]

For many years, I felt a moral obligation to inform business owners whenever I thought they had a personnel or customer-service problem they may not recognize. I say moral obligation, because I, for one, have always been grateful when a customer — or anyone, for that matter — took the time to call to my […]

I rarely make predictions, because life has a way of coming up with surprises that can change the landscape in a hurry. As you know, however, one prediction that I felt completely comfortable making several years ago was that Hillary Clinton would never become president of the United States.

Politically speaking, the Carrier deal was an attention-getting triumph for the King of Populism, but where his anti-free-trade tactics will ultimately lead is far from certain.

The one bad thing that came out of this most historic of all elections is that, sadly, it looks like there will be no Trump TV after all. But at least the Face of Evil proved me right about her never becoming president of the United States, though I admit I never thought she would […]

So it’s all come down to this. After a year-and-a-half of nonstop lies, childish name-calling, shameless race-baiting, and scandals so commonplace that most people have become immune to the rampant criminal activity in Washington, today is the day patriotic citizens march dutifully to the polls, desperately wanting to believe that their vote will help turn […]

I have often been asked if thinking can be considered a form of action. The short answer is yes. To employ Aristotelian logic, since thoughts have consequences, we can reasonably conclude that thoughts are actions. But the whole notion of thinking as a form of action puts us on that proverbial slippery slope. Like physical […]
