Today, I went to the job fair on campus. Did it meet my expectations? As the late Madeline L'Engle would put it, yes. I expected it to be bad, and it was. I mean, surprise, surprise. *half-hearted clap* All these openings for marketers, sales kids, and aspiring yuppies, and next to nothing for us who had no business orientations. Man, I wish the ( Read more... )

If we look no further than its etymological meaning, patience appears to be just a simple letting things alone, or allowing them to take their course, but if we take the analysis a little further we find that such non-interference is of a higher order than indifference and implies a subtle respect for the other person's need of time to preserve his ( Read more... )

I've continually come up with thoughts like these lately, so I decided to write them down. The list can get longer, especially if you want to be part of it. :)
