Hey all – Lauren here again! I asked Vijay if I could write his blog this week before I go away for my wedding and honeymoon. Plus, the Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays! I’ll tell you a few reasons why…
At J2, we are committed to arming you with insights and guidance that help you thrive in a business environment that continues to throw us curve balls. Over the past few months, we focused on two hot topic issues: The Great Resignation and the power of data.
It’s all about me—isn’t that the common theme lately? When did we become so self-centered and entitled? I’ll pause here to warn you that I am about to get on my soap box (again)! 😊
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! There are two accounts for how Father’s Day originated. The first is that it was celebrated in 1908 to honor hundreds of men lost in a mining accident. The second is that it was first celebrated in 1910 when a woman named Sonora Smart Dodd wanted to honor her father for raising her and her siblings alone. She came up with this idea while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon. Even though the movements started around the same time, Mother’s Day became a national holiday in 1914, but dads had to wait until 1972 for their day to become official.
90% of everything is crap, at least it is according to Theodore Sturgeon. Sturgeon was both a science fiction writer and a critic, and he made this observation in the 1950’s. It was meant to describe the low quality of work in the science fiction genre at that time, and eventually was applied more broadly to other areas.
Expectations are tough, aren’t they? Consciously or unconsciously, we form them for every situation and are often disappointed in outcomes. Have you ever wondered why that is or how you can change it?
