Some irritating buzz words I've been hearing a lot lately...

We've all been reading the paper, watching the news and listening to podcasts over the past number of months. Every day brings more questions than answers, and we tend to go in circles. Seemingly every conversation we have nowadays is about either the virus or politics (with some sports mixed in).

I recently caught up with my friend Carla Rosenberg. We talked a little about the world these days and mentioned some irritating buzz words that we need to clear up and, in some cases, just stop using entirely...

  1. "Pivot" – everyone is pivoting their operations…You pivot as many times as you can, as fast as you can, as smart as you can. This is simply called "life" and "business." We all need to be changing, growing and adjusting! It's how you win! You must always stay on your toes and constantly pivot...365 days per year. 
  2. "The New Normal" – What does this even mean? What was the old normal? I never knew normal to begin with! If you knew someone that was "normal," it just meant you didn’t know them very well.
  3. "Social Distance" – I was doing this before it was a thing! 
  4. "Unprecedented Times" – You know... this isn’t the first global pandemic and we have had some crazy difficult times before...and we will have them again! As I have said many times, life is difficult! Nobody said our lofty goals will come easily. Everything happens for a reason - so live it, love it, learn from it, and grow from it!
  5. "Flatten the Curve" – Sometimes I wish I paid more attention in school growing up, so I would know more about linear graphs. I can't even tell you what class this is from!  I can't remember the last time I studied these graphs. I don't think our country has ever studied linear graphs and data tables of a global virus growth as much as we have today...has "flattening the curve" worked? Or are we simply being smarter?
  6. "Zoom" – Who knew? And by the way, just because you have a Zoom call, it doesn’t mean the call has to be 45 minutes! It's okay to just talk for 10 minutes. I am "Zoomed out." Can't we just do an phone call for ten minutes, catch up and move on?
I'll tell you one thing I know for sure, my mother would've LOVED these Zoom calls. She NEVER trusted me when I told her where I was. Every time I was at a "friends" house she would ask for their parents' number just to call and make sure I was actually there (I usually wasn't - sorry Mom). She always needed verification, and if a 45 minute Zoom call was an option back then, it would've been a no-brainer for her. I guarantee you she would jump all over that opportunity.  

    By the way, I understand the severity of all political movements in the nation today. I stand against ALL HATE. Nonetheless...can we please have one day with out talking politics and the virus (and that includes all the news/media too)!
     
     A few quotes of the day that make you say "hmmmmm":  
     

    • "Having patience is faith…Patience is about waiting."
    • "If you are going to believe everything you read, start reading your bible or the book of your ancestors."
    • "There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or to accept responsibility for changing them"
    • "Almost every successful person begins with two beliefs: the future can be better than the present, and I have the power to make it so"
    • "You can't have gratitude and be upset at same time"
    • "You can't have faith and fear at same time"

    • WIZARD WEB RECOVERY has been a very great help to my life and I’m using this opportunity I have here to let the world know about WIZARD WEB RECOVERY, i was trapped by a fake Binary options trading company to invest with the platform to earn money digitally while you can comfortably monitor your trade online. I have earlier had some interest in crypto so after some thought I went ahead and made a couple of investments with the platform at first and got paid my profits without knowing that the whole plan was fake a scheme to lure me into investing more funds probably a larger amount, so 2 days after having my profits I reinvested with the platform this time I had invested with a huge amount to earn more off my tradings but at the end when my investment was due I proceeded to make my withdrawal but then noticed that the option was malfunctioning as I wasn’t able to withdrawal funds into my account, I approached the support desk to let them know and also for some assistance but they replied and ask that I needed the withdrawal fee to be settled before I could successfully withdraw my funds. I had gathered the amount they had asked for and made the payment for the withdrawal fee but still cannot withdraw my funds I quickly messaged the support to let them know that I still can’t withdraw a damn to my account only for me to receive a reply from them that I need to pay more fees for some technical problems and system upgrade, after giving it some thoughts it doesn’t sound good and clear to me so I had to take a step back as I was already having the feeling that something is going wrong, I then went in search of solutions online. luckily enough I got redirected to the medium site where I saw pretty different comments of people testifying on how (www.wizardwebrecovery.net) has helped them recover their lost investment. I was skeptical if this was true, but then decided to contact them to find out if they were real or not, Well they proved to me beyond all doubt that it was really for real so I urgently referred my case to them, And they proceeded with the recovery and I’m happy to say that I have received all my lost funds back through WIZARD WEB RECOVERY. I never believed in it until the funds were recovered and sent to my Bitcoin wallet, I have my funds back and am grateful to them, Contact WIZARD WEB RECOVERY and recover all your lost funds.

    • vHello everyone my names are ALEX JACKSON from the UK, I want to use this golden medium to appreciate Doctor Abdul a great spell caster for helping me retrieving back my relationship with my ex lover when he ended and turned back on me for quite a long time now (6 months ago). He performed a spell for me and within 48 hours after the spell had been cast I received a text from my ex saying that he is sorry for the pains and tears that he had caused me and that he will not do such a thing to me again in his life. I was surprised but later accepted him back again. Anyone that is in the same line of problem or different one that wants to contact a spell caster should happily contact Doctor Abdul now on this email address.doctorabdulspellcaster@gmail.com or message him through his Whatsapp +2348108728256

    • LOST RECOVERY MASTERS ARE VERY CONSISTENT AND RELIABLE HACKERS, THEY SAVED MY FAMILY.

      The Lost Recovery Masters Group of Hackers saved Me from my cheating husband. My husband had a family outside our Marriage and had been spending my money on them.. I became suspicious at a point due to his late calls privately and his frequent money asking habit which he was using to fund his family. I got fed up and had to seek a Hacker to spy on his phone and to my disbelief this group proved my suspicion was correct. The Hackers got me proof of his message and calls including the address of his other family where he was spending some quality time when I was at work. if you need such services reach them through,;
