Competitive Sports at the Office
Who knew that a workshop functions the same way as a competitive sport? I am writing this while sitting through (I mean, in) a workshop with 6 others, including the presenter.

Your Personal Trainer is Your Worst Enemy … NOT!
My trainer (let’s call him Coach) is a pretty nice guy, all things considered. That is, until we step into the gym.

This sport requires superior skill, strict training and athleticism, especially if a … Continue reading »
Kobe versus Jordan: NO COMPARISON!
A little over a year ago I wrote this, and I stand behind every word. Kobe Bryant is the best player in the NBA today, and a superstar in his own right. Michael Jordan is a legendary Hall of Famer, and still has the most popular athletic shoe brand after all these years. Ever wonder why people insist on comparing Kobe Bryant to Michael Jordan? Let’s explore why this is NOT something to do. Continue reading »
