Saving Face
"I‘m sorry." These are quite simply the two greatest words in the English language. Sure, there’s other words that are functionable, but few other phrases contain such power and efficiency as hearing "I’m Sorry."
As a newlywed, I learned quite quickly that, "she’s always right", and even more quickly that the easiest way to diffuse a [...]
Software (and Music) Piracy and Your Business
I had a discussion this week with an individual who is starting his own business. Since I dabble a bit in the electronic/tech arena, he questioned me about software, hardware, and computer systems.
His initial question, and the fodder for this post, was about a "friend" who could give him "an evaluation copy "of a software [...]

Credit Card Restrictions
I received my first credit card when I was 22 years old. Until that time, I didn’t know what a credit card was, other than to say that my parents had one because they had jobs, a home, and a car.
In fact, I think I was so naive about the credit process and the [...]
Where Does the Money Go?

“Comprehensive” Insurance Coverage
Oddly, over the past few days I’ve been a party to many conversations regarding insurance coverage. Usually the statement is, "I have comprehensive insurance".
There’s a general misconception among people that when they purchase comprehensive automobile insurance, they’re purchasing comprehensive insurance. A large number of people, especially younger car owners, are unaware that "comprehensive" in your [...]
