    I expected other people to mention the significance of this date.  But the day is almost over so I will write about what happened.

    • It’s not a day America likes to remember. For me the saddest part is the huge question mark that’s plastered all over the pages of America’s history. Who killed John Kennedy? We have had other presidents who were assassinated. But we know who did it! Kennedy’s wife and son have both gone to their graves not knowing the answer. It’s more depressing than the assassination itself because if the highest official never got closure over a matter that sent him to his grave, how can ordinary citizens think there’s “justice for all”. We want to believe in the ideal. But our own president didn’t get justice. For all intents and purposes, his murder case is still unsolved.

      • I want to believe the ‘official’ story… but there are so many ‘holes’ in it. One man, by himself, for no reason just goes up into this building with a gun?

        I suppose we will never know.

    You can fail at anything.

    You can fail in the kitchen, you can fail in the boardroom, you can fail anything, anywhere, at any time.

    • This is a sarcastic piece. It is written about an actor I know who has faded into oblivion. He’s a born failure do to his attitude and behaviour.
      I was sharing what not to do.

    • Without failure there can never be a success, failure therefore comes before success because all those who succeded in all fields of life failed many times. Failure therefore is not bad by itself. Failure becomes failure when one fails to act on a shortfall they face in their life.

    • This is true unless the person has you restricted from seeing certain posts they make. You can limit the audience to your facebook account. I have done this plenty of times. If I don’t want someone seeing something then I will place them in my restricted list or I will make the post only where certain people can see it. Not hard.

      • Why post it at all? If I never read those ‘tests’ those ‘cleaver’ images, I wouldn’t have missed anything. It is the kind of thing a person does when they are bone deep dishonest. These guys are dishonest. They have more time than you and I put together. They just don’t want to communicate with K and I.

    • Maybe. Maybe not. I can understand you giving your opinion about it but that’s only what it is your opinion. ADHD and ADD are being used too much on children that actually don’t have it, that part is true but those that actually do have it may need a way of doing things differently than other students. A child can have a learning disability and never get diagnosed. They can then turn into adults that struggle through life finding it hard to find and keep a job. So I wouldn’t call all diagnoses fake.

    • Put it like this, if you grew up in the 50s there were none of these diagnosis. No one had it. If you go to a 3rd World Country, (not the rich areas, the common ones) no one has it. No one has any of these maladies.

    If I told you about this man, everyone’s blood would begin to boil. He was and is the most complete hypocrite I have ever met. An ex-friend of his, (a psychiatrist) diagnosed him with Narcissism, so you can s […]

    • I agree with everything you said, however, I did not get the full message you are bringing on board. There are so many details lacking which are capable of addressing the issue if one works under boss from hell.
      For example: one can be given an appointment letter detailing every bit of the work to done. However, working in the same company for couple of times, you realize that the whole job description given you has changed and time of closing shifted far beyond expected.

      You realize that day in day out your boss has new task which he or she always wait till the last minute when you are about to close from work.

      And even, times where you have to concentrate doing something for yourself, he brings item on board which you only have to be responsible for.

      The worst aspect of working with such a boss is, he is quick to criticize and praise less or no praise at all.

      He focuses on himself most of the time when it comes to training on the job.

      And there are more talk about unending and I hope your article could articulate in these aspects.

      All in all you did well.

      • What happens is that when you develope ‘coping mechanisms’ they tend to be negative. Since you know he will criticise everything you do, you leave documents fester on the computer until he signs off. If you want less work what you do is make an easy error so that by the time he sits down, reads the work, finds the error, tells you to correct it, you, get more free time. You get free time because you know the error and while he walks away, you make the correction, leave it on the computer for tomorrow. Hence the ten files on your desk, stay there until tomorrow.

        You see how non-productive one can get.

    • It was, on reflection, not as much of a job as a chance for him to exercise his narcissism. To have an audience.

      I have tried not to hate him, but it is not easy.

    I left Gordon, took the twenty steps to Jeffrey and he, point blank, asked; […]

    • That is my view. Why care? If you can’t change it, walk away. If you can, do it.

    • An angry man is a mad man any day. One should be able to control is anger. The strongest man is he who is able to control is anger however the weakest man on earth is he who cannot control is anger. The reason the world is in the state it is today (war everywhere) is because some people were unable to control their anger at some point in life of this world. That is my humble submission.

    • Anger is the fume of depressed soul and its expression appears on human mind in shape of anger in practical field. Anger is a natural human emotion, and it’s not always negative. It can help you know when you’ve been hurt or when a situation needs to change. It’s important to learn how to process and react to your anger.

      Frequent feelings of anger have been linked to higher risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, depression and difficulty sleeping. This is especially possible if you experience highly explosive anger or your anger is extremely repressed. Fortunately, you can learn to understand, process, and release your anger in healthy ways.

      When you’re feeling angry, doing some moderate exercise could help you. A study by the University of Georgia suggests that moderate exercise (such as running or riding a bike) during or immediately after an upsetting experience can help you manage the experience of anger.

      When you exercise, your body releases endorphins, which are natural “feel-good” chemicals that make you feel more positive and happy. If you’re unable to run or ride a bike, consider walking, stretching, and other easier forms of exercise.

    I once had a Boss From Hell.  And what happened is that I stopped caring about everything.   So did everyone.   I recall when the office was not unlocked on time, I went across the road and hung out.  It was a lovely social encounter.  No one cared.  Everyone eventually left… only the whack job secretary remained.

    • I watch TV online only when I can not find the programs on regular television. To be honest, I don’t really like it because of the annoying and interrupting glitches. Would much rather just watch TV. But sometimes what I want to watch is not on TV. Thank the Lord for the Internet! 🙂

      • When you don’t live in the US or Britian you get catch as catch can TV. They will run House, for example, maybe part of the first season, then a year later, part of the third… nothing in order.

        And now they bleep out everything… hell, damn… nothing you can’t hear… and it’s better to watch on line where there are no bleeps or commercials.

    Many years ago, when I was attending the University of the West Indies in Barbados, I used to walk down the hill to Paradise Beach Resort. I used to act as if I were a guest at the hotel, so enjoy the chaise […]

    • Those think inferior are those who are jealous and have evil past due to which they think that other are inferior and they are superior such persons fall prey to inferiority complex in real life. But the main cause becomes jealous and greed.

      Actually inferiority complex an unrealistic feeling of general inadequacy caused by actual or supposed inferiority in one sphere, sometimes marked by aggressive behaviour in compensation.

      Most of us compare ourselves to others. Mass media beams in the finest looking, richest, and most talented people into our lives 24/7. This creates the illusion that we ‘know’ all these beautiful, clever, younger, athletic, rich, able people. Because we compare ourselves to people we know, this illusion of knowing air-brushed ‘have-it-alls’ can make us feel correspondingly worse about ourselves.

      An inferiority complex is a general feeling of not being ‘up to the mark’. Now, I want to distinguish between knowing and feeling. I know I am inferior to Bill Gates financially, to Stephen Hawking intellectually, to millions of men aesthetically; but this knowledge doesn’t bother me one iota. Knowing you’re inferior in some ways is very different from feeling inferior.

      Knowledge that you might sometimes compare unfavourably to others may just be insight and perception. It’s crazy to try to pretend that we are all as good as each other in all ways.

      • I would not use the term ‘inferior’ because I don’t think that is correct. I can not fix the pipes as can the plumber, I can plant like the farmer, I can play cricket like the professional but I do not call myself inferior.

    • I know exactly what you are saying.Very often if people think I am American they treat me with much more respect. The idea that a non American can excel is difficult for them to grasp.

    • The attitude of inferiority is why so many Jamaicans resort to scamming… if the tourist thinks one is not at intelligent, they don’t protect themselves and the ‘inferior’ rips them off.

    For many people, they couldn’t care less about the work place.  They go there to get $$ and aren’t the least interested in anything.  So nothing is going to bother you.  It is only when you care.

    • You can share your observations of George and his son. But from what I see? I think father and son having a good time! Sure! The relationships probably won’t last. But so what! Get a clean healthy girl. Don’t have to worry about sexual disease. Maybe you even get kids. So she leaves after a few years. So what! Go get another one. There’s plenty of them out there!! Who’s using who??

      • If the wife left without taking everything, sure, shrug it off. But in the cases I mentioned, the wives took everything. George’s second wife took his house. He wound up living in his mother’s flat, then renting something. Paul’s wife took the house as well. He was virtually on the street.

        Sure, you marry that pretty young thing who makes you feel ‘young’ but you pay for it a few times over.
