   I find it a great disappointment that there are so many selfish people in this country.

   Life is much more enjoyable when you can live parts of it outside of yourself. Imagine how miserable life must be when your entire universe extends no further than your own skin. I do not hate these people; I pity them.

   AI is a good research assistant, but it needs adult supervision.

   I coach people on using AI in their job search. It is very useful in researching the company, it can be used to “target” your resume to the job description and it can generate a list of questions that you can be expected to be asked about the job description at an interview and more.

   AI is good at giving me ideas, but no matter how much I try to train it to my writing style, it still falls short.

   I advise people to allow AI to assist with their resumes but to rewrite them to drop the fluff and add more specific information.

   I drive a Nissan Altima. It’s the second one I’ve owned and I may own one again. Whatever crash test dummy they used to design that car has the same body dimensions as me. It’s a very comfortable car to wear.

   I’ve said it before and I will say it again. When you strip away all the trivia, all we have left is ourselves and each other.

   I watched my dog as he sat in the yard yesterday as he watched the birds. He has food, shelter, us and a tennis ball. He’s probably happier than the whole lot of us.

   Some people rather have a grievance than a solution.

   They enjoy playing the role of victim.

   2,2 million North Carolinians thought Robinson was a good idea. There is only one explanation: mass hysteria. There’s too much pig poop in the water in this state.

   “In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd.” – Miguel de Cervantes.

   Let’s try an absurd concept: Love. Even love of your enemy. You don’t have to LIKE him, and you can do all in your power to defeat him, but do not return his hate with hate.

   After war, hate is the ultimate negative sum game: nobody wins and both sides lose. Hate diminishes the hated and consumes the life of the hater.

   I have an impossible dream: to turn a nightmare into a dream. My lance and steed are ready and my windmills await me.

    Nobody should impact your life more than you do.

    Part of my answer to the interview question “Tell me about a time you failed.” Is “I can’t answer that because I’ve never failed. Failing is not falling down; failing is not getting back up. I’ve always gotten back up, but sometimes have been facing in an entirely different direction.” Then I go on to tell a story about when failure caused me to “reinvent” myself.

    “Reinvent” is a fancy way of saying starting over. Every day is a new creation. Every day is an opportunity to start over even if only in a small thing. Change (starting over) is the only constant in a moving universe (or creation).
