What do you want to be when you grow up? Where do you see yourself in twenty years (let’s be honest, none of us saw ourselves here when we were asked that back in 2000)? What are your short-term and long-term goals? Want to know a secret? It’s my birthday. While many people probably evaluate […]
New Year, New Word
A big trend for the last few years is to pick a word. One word. A single word that encapsulates everything you hope to focus on and accomplish for the whole 365 (366 this year) days. It sounded impossible to me. How did one sum a whole year up in a single word? But last […]
