The essence of an organization
Definition of essence: 1. The intrinsic or indispensable properties that serve to characterize or identify something. 2. The most important ingredient; the crucial element.

12 Taxi driver lessons
In a twist of events, my friend overslept and I had to catch a cab to get back home after dropping off my car at the auto shop. I was lucky to get one in less than 3 minutes. As I entered I realized that the driver was a bit older than the younger, less [...]
The pit stop coffee shop
A pit stop in a race is where cars get fueled, tires get changed in record time and the whole car is just reborn in a matter of seconds. A coffee shop is where humans get caffeinated, minds are set loose and the whole body is suddenly reenergized in a matter of minutes. A long [...]

A few of my intellect friends on Facebook were asking a question I hear [...]
