Cut your losses
14th May 2025 The film was dire. After an hour, I whispered to my wife: “Come on, let’s go home.” She replied: “No way. We’re not throwing away three hundred bucks.” “That’s no reason to stay,” I protested. “The money’s already gone.” This is the sunk cost fallacy at work—a thinking error! She glared at […]
If you don’t ask, you don’t get….
13th May 2025 The idiom “crying baby gets the milk” holds true in all aspects of life.

Much of what we’re experiencing is NOT “unprecedented.” Many of us have just forgotten past events. “History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme,” advised Mark Twain. These hard times our world faces, will eventually give way to another […]

True Joy
7th May 2025 “Everybody can be great, because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve; You don’t have to know about Plato and Aristotle; You don’t have to know Einstein’s theory of relativity to serve; You only need a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love.” […]
