I am impressed with Peyton Manning who has shown determination and perseverance in developing into one of the greatest football quarterbacks in history after enduring years of defeat and disappointment.

Focus on the goal

I have written about the existence of diversity which says diversity exists in the workplace and we should understand and respect people and their different beliefs.

I went to the hyper mart this afternoon and over the beauty and personal hygiene section I saw so many products which promise to help you become white—whitening cream, soap, astringent, etc. Except for the new branding of Dove, almost every product simply wants you to become white as snow.

A thought came up; I’d invent a product line which delivers enhancement of blackness. Black is the new white.

I was in an elevator going out for lunch when a superior looking individual hops in; unfortunately, his staff was on the ride and he began asking project related questions. The staff looked intimidated and sounded nervous as he began to explain to his boss while everyone else could hear his sliding timeline, mistakes, etc.

I saw a clip of Mission Impossible II last night and Hunt said his trip wouldn’t be a holiday if he told his superiors where he was headed. That is so true. I have worked with managers from another company who would require me to explain what I was going to do and where I was going every time I filed for personal leave.
