Why not You?

If nothing else, if I could get all my clients/humans everywhere to understand that perfection is one of the biggest time-wasters… I’d be (somewhat) satisfied.

Why I’m Glad I Went to Law School (Yes, seriously!)

In honor of this past Saturday’s LSAT test-takers, and their contributory actions to our nation’s glut of unemployed lawyers…I thought I’d share my reasons for going to law school and why I’m still so glad I did.

What do you want?

I know I sometimes sound like someone’s memaw or, alternatively, an especially cranky Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, with my insistence on being true to yourself in order to live your most exhilarating and successful life…but just humor me one more time.

(Skeptical? http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/17/business/law-school-economics-job-market-weakens-tuition-rises.html?_r=1&ref=lawschools AND http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/24/education/edlife/edl-24masters-t.html?ref=education those are just two for example; I could find hundreds more.)That’s not to say…

I was tempted to write something about Wendi Deng Murdoch kicking some serious ass yesterday at the parliamentary hearings in London, when that poor schnook protester tried to throw a pie in her hubby’s face…booya! As that boy learned the very hard way, Wendi is not about to let her man get punked! Hell no, son.…

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the importance of self-confidence, and how damaging the lack of self-confidence can be on ones’s ability to make and sustain the hard choices necessary to success…and that formed a link in my mind with the phenomenon of the “scambloggers:” some (understandably) pissed-off men and women who blog about…
