Unconditional

Yesterday I was investigating unconditional love. Today I am thinking about unconditional anything.

Unconditional trust.
Unconditional faith.
Unconditional respect.
Unconditional obedience. 

The older I get, the more I realize that I have a problem with any and all of the things that are unconditional. 

George Carlin has a piece where he argues if parents...

Love

Love.

I was watching a show today and there was a question about love that got my attention.

I love unconditional or transactional?

When I think of unconditional love, it is often...

On Being Critical

A few days ago, I gave a pitch to a group of people. I was lavished with compliments. I felt like I did ok too. 

But today, when the video was released, I saw it and winced. 
I don't like how I talked. I forgot to introduce myself. I didn't...

Airport

I was at the airport yesterday. I found myself looking at the people and how they interact with each other. 

It is fascinating to see how parents talk to their kids, how couples act in public and especially watching people that seem to be returning home from the US after...

I am supposed to present at a meeting this week. 

It took me some time yesterday to get the slides together... just 5 slides with intro and ending included. Plus it is not a complex topic. But the audience are people who have done great things in their lives. And...
