Is Your Mind Already Made Up?

Blog by Rick0 comments

I’ve seen too many instances when a leader asks for feedback, but their mind has already been made. Or if they haven’t already made up their mind, they’re still open to overruling the opinion of others.  A very public example of this is when a British National Environmental Research Council […]

Good vs. Evil

Blog by Rick0 comments

If you choose to be moral, good, and fair, you’ll be in good company.  If you’re going to be immoral, evil, and corrupt, you’re going to be competing against people who are also immoral, evil, and corrupt. Three things about this. If you’re going to be evil, there’s a slippery […]

Shots Vs. Tattoos

Blog by Rick0 comments

As a kid I used to be terrified of shots, mainly because they hurt. Now, I’m willing to get needles repeatedly jammed into my skin at high speeds for hours on end in the name of body art. Nothing about the level of pain really changed. It’s still tiny needles […]

Awkward

belonging by Rick0 comments

What is social awkwardness? Whether you define it as people who talk too much about a subject no one else is interested in, someone who says inappropriate things, or laughs at things you don’t find funny, awkwardness is something that we all try to avoid because of how uncomfortable it can […]

Questions of Value

Blog by Rick0 comments

“How much value does this have?” is a tricky question to answer, as you first have to answer a few other questions. To whom is evaluating it? Me? You? A person stranded in the desert? A billionaire environmentalist? Value is in the eye of the beholder and just because you […]

Waves

Blog by Rick0 comments

When you’re out on the ocean, the very nature of the ocean is for waves to rise and fall. It’s physics. You might not like the rocking sensation – few do – and it might even make you seasick. But life is just like the ocean in that you’re going […]

Dirty Car Stories

Blog by Rick0 comments

I don’t wash my car as often as I’m told I should. You can use this data to make a lot of assumptions about me.  Some of them would be accurate, some of them would be inaccurate. The stories you’re telling yourself about me and my car, regardless of validity, are […]

Lip Balm

Blog by Rick0 comments

I’m not a fan of lip balm in general, but it’s dry here and I like Burt’s Bees cucumber-mint moisturizing lip balm. The other day, I finally ran out, and since the store I was at didn’t have this particular brand and flavor, I had to choose between unknown options. […]

Don’t Forget to Celebrate

career by Rick0 comments

It’s easy to forget to celebrate milestones and achievements – especially if you’re the type to constantly have your gaze focused upwards. I know that often after I ship something meaningful, it’s on to the next project, next idea, next level. It’s hard to make time to celebrate when there’s […]
