Does The End Justify The Means?
The answer to this might be more gray than black and white. What is “the means”? What is “the end”? Are we ending world hunger? Creating world peace?

Goal Setting: Chore or Pleasure?
Goal setting is a favorite past-time of mine. Hold on. Before you go bizerk and check out…stay with me for a paragraph or two. For some folks the word “goal” is a four letter word.
