Read MoreSwallowing the bitter pill of rejection leads to a diet of success
No. Thanks, but no thanks. Decline. Not interested. Dismissed. Rejected. Your idea might not be adopted. Your application might be declined. Your declaration of love might receive a blank look.

Read MoreWater for growth – Careful of the amount!
Our vacation to the east coast this summer was “wet & wild”. We got soaked on the Maid of the Mist at Niagara Falls, drenched in a storm while sailing on Chesapeake Bay and drank our fill of river water as we shot rapids in a jet boat. In each adventure, we felt safe from…
Read MoreAre you a Sweet Genius Under Pressure?
