A DIME A DOZEN – LIVING YOUR BEST EXPRESSION
A Dime a Dozen for Smart People Walter Isaacson, professor of History at Tulane University and CEO of the Aspen Institute, said one day: “Smart people are a dime a dozen. What matters is the ability to think different… to think out of the box.” I don’t really believe that smart people are as abundant…
WORDS WORTH KNOWING: MAYDAY
I would rather like to start this article screaming: Mayday!! Mayday!! Just like in the movies, but I’m not really in danger. Of course, making a fake distress call is punishable by six years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. So I’ll pass. Anyhow, you can’t tell when you will really need…
WORDS WORTH KNOWING: ADDICT

WORDS WORTH KNOWING: AIN’T

WORDS WORTH KNOWING: FRIEND
Is it just me or has the word Friend lost a little of its meaning with modernity? We call the hundreds of contacts on Facebook “friends”, even though half of them we don’t know in person or even what their favorite color is. We say goodbye to the Uber’s driver with a “bye my friend”…
