In dealing with complex give-and-take issues, I am reminded of the fable where a dog with a bone comes to a pond and sees its reflection in the water.  It thinks it sees another dog with a bone and tries to grab that one too.  In doing so, it drops it

Great movies leave plenty of excellent footage on the cutting room floor.  It's part of the process, my son David, a film director, tells me. The same is true when an author writes a book.

When Ben Franklin founded the first public lending library in America in 1731, he probably had no idea what he would inspire.  There is no better bargain than a library card, and what better time to sign up for one than September -- library card sign-up month.

In ancient Greece, Alcibiades was telling Pericles how Athens should be governed.  Annoyed by the young man's tone and manner, Pericles said, "Son, when I was your age, I talked just the way you are talking." Alcibiades looked Pericles in the face and replied, "How I should like to have known you when you were at your best."

So there's this new guy/gal, older than most entry-level employees, who shows up at your workplace one day and wants to learn the ropes.  A little unusual, you think, but you train the person to do your job and explain why what you do is important to the company.That's the premise of one of the hottest new reality shows on television.

From the time we were kids, we've been force-fed the idea that first is best.  It doesn't always work that way. Sometimes last is best.

In the State of the Union address, President Obama declared our national economic agenda "begins with jobs." So does mine. I'm dedicating myself to a 30-day, nationwide tour to launch my newest book Use Your Head to Get Your Foot in the Door: Job Search Secrets No One Else Will Tell You. Use Your Head is loaded with silver bullets. I even enlisted the help of readers of this column. They delivered great tips ranging from networking-your-way-to-work to tapping multi-skills for a totally new career.

Disagreements happen.  You can't always get your way.  Everyone has an opinion.  There are two sides to every argument.  When you're dealing with family or friends, you expect to have differences of opinion.  Perhaps you are willing to fight for your views and what's important to you.  And often, because of the personal relationships you have, you find a way to work things out.

In Greek mythology, Pandora opened her fabled box and let out all evils except for hope, which Greeks considered to be as dangerous as the world's other evils. Soon they discovered that without hope to offset their troubles, humanity was filled with despair. So Pandora let out hope as well. In the myth, hope was more potent than any of the other major evils.
