THE UNIFYING FORCE OF TECHNOLOGY
The idea of a “global village” popularized some 60 years ago by Canadian thinker, Marshall McLuhan, has never been so true as it is today. By definition, it means the world considered as a single community linked by telecommunications. December 2019, when one distant family in our global village got sick, the other far-away members…
Read MoreSELF WORTH: Floundering or Flourishing?
Do we need to just chill? Allow ourselves to go ahead and sleep in, to relax for once? Or do we need to take advantage of these extra hours every day and aim to create something wonderful? Or do we do both? Are there really enough hours in the day to relax and chill, then…

Tell a pollywog they will never have a voice and then listen as one day his ribbits reverberate out into the atmosphere. Call a caterpillar a slimy awkward ungainly creature then witness her fly on delicate wings that seem to have been painted by the gods. Stay with me, readers. There’s a decent metaphor to…

Creativity And Transcendence I love creative visualization as much as the next guy. I think it saved my life, in fact. Well, not my life, but my livelihood, at least.
