Quote of the Day  © BrummetMedia.ca "Everything you do is based on the choices you make.  It’s not your parents, your past relationships,  your job, the economy, the weather,  an argument or your age that is to blame.

Business Ethics – What you Must Know * Written by Marc-Eddy Drouinaud Jr. The system of moral beliefs that guides behaviours and decisions is known as business ethics. Certain ethical requirements for companies across the world are embedded into law, minimum wage, and environmental regulations.

Personal Expectations * Written by Kevin Amolsch who offers some interesting thoughts on the expectations we project onto one another... " You expect too much, " my girlfriend tells me for the 2nd time in less than a week. We were not fighting, but she let me know that she felt that she had a hard time hitting my expectations, and that it was stressful. It was not making me happy either. I mentioned to her that she is setting a low-ceiling but that it was made of glass. She has the ability to breakthrough it if she wanted to. That might not have been the best thing to say, but it really got me thinking. Not everyone wants the same things I do. To some, a certain level of success is not worth the effort or pain it takes to get there, and that is OK. For me, I would like to bench press 300 pounds like Travis, but in my mind, it would take far too much to get there. So, I don't try.

Remaking Our World: Coronavirus, Hope, and Future Society   *Written by Cristina Deptula of Authors, Large and Small . Coronavirus has radically shifted our lives and schedules. Now that we’re three months in to shelter in place in many metro areas, people are beginning to speculate on how society might reshape itself after we survive this pandemic. A few of the authors we represent, as literary publicists with Authors, Large and Small , have written pieces inspired by the psychological experience of quarantine. Our final author, James Mueller, shares his personal healing practices that may help in this time of collective grief. James Mueller, a father of three children, grew up on a dairy farm in the beautiful countryside of Upstate New York in the heart of the Mohawk Valley. After graduating from Cornell University, he attended seminary, obtaining a master's degree with high honors with an emphasis in pastoral care.
