Take note that we used “aggressiveness” here instead of “aggression” since we’d want to focus more on attitude rather than with rage issues. Now, aggressiveness in the workplace is often associated to those high-achievers. While this can be beneficial for some organizations, if these people get mixed up in one place, the results can […]

It’ll only be a matter of time when we eventually get those personalized advertisements a la Minority Report. Here’s another neat trick that you can do.

The job market today has changed a lot. It’s not a game of just handing out a shortened life history and tidbits of personal information anymore. Almost everyone has the same thing to say - graduated from some school, worked in some place. That was probably the time when veneer was cool and Vanilla Ice […]

While it might lack the more personal approach of face-to-face conversation or a phone call, no one can deny its efficiency and speed to convey messages. However, I still observe a lot of people who tend to stray into the […]

Tragic as they are, accidents and illnesses can leave long-term and lifelong marks on people - marks like disability. It’s quite life-changing for the person to experience such a set-back. And it’s quite a life-changing experience for relatives of disabled people. No matter how optimistic one can go, many aspects of the household really changes […]

If you’re a speaker, you may encounter one of those Mr./Ms. Smarty Pants in your audience once in a while. You know. That person who would quiz you for the sake of saying something. Or perhaps you’re asked a question that you’re totally unprepared to answer. If that places you in a sticky situation and […]

Whew. We couldn’t just count the ways advertisements can bombard us, huh? I’m just waiting for the time when we’ll have a Minority Report-ish personalized advertising everywhere we go. Or probably some Futurama stuff, where we get advertisements in dreams. But I guess, for now, we’ll just have to content ourselves with ad placements on […]

Healthy relationships are maintained through proper communication. Ever lost track of a friend just because you don’t see or talk to each other anymore? While highly unlikely to happen with family members, since you’re all under one roof, lack of communication can put a strain. Some family members may feel neglected, underappreciated or even unloved.

My business communications class is now moving on to letter writing after a month or so of discussing organization, context and culture. Our latest lesson was developing the main thought in their writing. For me, the best way you can support any of your claims is through cold facts. However, you just have to be […]

I don’t have an iPhone and I probably will not buy one. Just like my stance with the iPod. I’m not a Mac hater though. I think. If I had enough resources and loose priorities I may have purchased a MacBook instead of this Asus. I’m just not the type of guy who’d jump […]

Writing a letter to a dysfunctional family member can be a real chore. Imagine having to muster all your energies to write down things while seething rage and frustration boils inside you for being born in such a weird environment. That is, if you’ve been unfortunate to be in such a condition. You probably […]

I’m teaching a group of potential job hunters and one thing that concerns them in our topic of resume-writing is that space labeled “work experience.” Since all of them are still college kids, they aren’t quite sure how to fill this up, especially when they’ve observed that some job postings often have that item “experience […]

I deferred posting the news of the iPhone launch, since, well… I’m not too excited about it. So forgive me for letting my personal feelings affect a supposedly objective takes on technology and lifestyles.
