When my son was in middle school and a test didn’t go as expected, or he was alerted that a homework assignment was missing, he sometimes claimed: “that teacher just hates me.” But as Eleanor Roosevelt said, “You wouldn’t worry so much about what others think…
DetailsSometimes the solution to a problem is not among the items on the table. It may be something entirely different that draws on already readily available resources but is only accessed when focusing on the big picture objective. Here’s a story about that.
