As Churchill said, "never give up."
That's not intended to be an insult, either. I had a very good friend and astute businessman talk me out of going to business school. His exact words: "You probably have about 90% of an MBA right now, and you learned it on the job without spending a dime on it."
Seriously? You did this and it worked?
I’ve had a couple of great female employees who could have moved elsewhere for better pay, but they stayed in my firm because we were willing to be very flexible with work hours, work arrangements, etc. while they have young kids at home.

I’m amazed someone has stated the obvious point the author is making more often in the past. Bravo!
--and while you had to shut up to get thru the class there were most probably lots of good things you were able to learn anyway. There is no 'free speech' in the work place. Some folks complain that their boss told 'em that they can't talk about say, Jesus anymore just like years ago hippies complained that the boss insisted that they get a haircut (and a bath).
We know there some places our politics aren't welcome and others where it's OK.
It's the idea that the market place is what it is and it's not up for a popular vote. The thing that amazes me is how many posters on this "conservative forum" disagree.
“”Belichick” was really disliked by Browns fans. He was a grumpy, unpleasant guy, bedside manner like Kevorkian,
Failure is a learning experience.
In the only truly profound thing I think Edison ever said was “I dont consider them a failure- I now know 1000 things that won’t work”
--and the reason so many people won't become their own boss is because they don't want the pay cut. Let's face it, a lot of employees are paid way more than they're worth simply because they were able to convince the HR dept. that they were qualified.
Absolutely. I used to run a survey of top US MBA programs. In speaking to one of the Deans at the Harvard Business School, he told me that they select students by asking one key question: “Would this student be really successful if he or she did not attend somewhere like Harvard Business School? If the answer was yes, we accepted him or her!”
My defense of Walmart made the professor take me aside and threaten me that if I didn’t leave my “radical right wing” attitude at home he would suspend me from the class
“—and while you had to shut up to get thru the class there were most probably lots of good things you were able to learn anyway. “
It was an economics class. The teacher was extolling raising the minimum wage. He gave all the ordinary and long disproven reasons about positive results. One of them was “price stickiness.” This theory holds that it takes up to two years to change all the prices on goods and because of that inflation takes a long time to absorb and dilute the wage increase. I pointed out that virtually all prices now are determined by a universal product code on the package. The price of all goods can be marked up over night by changing them in the computer just once. The new price will ring up because the scanner reads the product code and looks up the price in the computer. He was stunned! The up-to-date text we were using still presented the stickiness theory. I am sure he dashed off an article about it.
He confirmed my long held belief that economists are clueless idiots. Harry Truman said he wanted a one-armed economist. When asked why he replied, “to stop him from saying, ‘on the other hand.’”
“Why do you people put up with this stuff? “
I was on a schedule for graduation. To lose this class and have to go fight an administration over this issue would be crazy. It would interfere with my finances and I’d still have to take the class over and pay for it again, probably with the same guy. What grade would you expect to get after all of that?
Mark Twain said, “No power is exercised with greater enthusiasm than small power.”
Amazing isn’t it that nobody recognized his genius until Tom Brady wss his quarterback. Coincidence???
So, if a male worker decides to become transgendered and “identify” as a woman do they then dock his pay? How about women? Do they get paid more if they “identify” as men? Come on libs, let’s have some consistency in your insanity.
Off topic but of interest....
