The chance of pushback grows. High volume, blistering, venomous comments come at once. You can’t retrieve or erase them. They can be unforgettable.

Two examples, many years […]| Dr. Gerald Stein
Opportunity knocks, but doesn’t tell us what we will find behind a different door. We often pursue what we’ve always wanted—something hard to turn away from. There are many possible vocations.
