A little advice here, a story or two there and some ways to improve your own.
Leaving something behind usually brings about feelings of failure. Think about it. When we hear that relationship doesn’t work out—we politely give our “awws” and then, in the small dark alleyways of our mind, feel pity for the person as if they couldn’t match with someone successfully. The same can be applied for work, for…
Edmonton. To the untrained eye, it will forever be that really cold city with a large mall and a mega stellar hockey team. But look a little closer and you’ll discover a gem of a town with lots to do. Festivals I would be failing my city if I didn’t mention the festivals. Edmonton hosts…
Public transit. Do those two words make your skin crawl? If it’s because you think transit is for poor people – you’re a dick.
