Who Viewed Your Profile

You didn’t care before so does it matter now? Even if it’s “someone from here looked at your profile”. Does it matter? Someone from somewhere looked at a piece of your profile that is somewhere on the main page of all of the accomplishments and work you have done over the years. Did they zero in on anything?

Cold Walks

Want to break out of your meeting “blahs” or get a problem completely out of your head?

On Doing Research

When you don’t know the answer to a problem, you need to go look it up. It might not be as formal as what it used to be – going to the library or bookstore – but what you’re doing is still the same – Research. You’re digging into a topic you want to find the answer to. The problem (if you want to call it that) with Research, is that when we start doing Research, it opens up more and more questions, you get a bit deeper, find your answer, and hen come up with a few other questions
