Not always a good decision!HotFlashHomesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894953352910455222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721756258546233776.post-71446319533212552472015-05-31T16:53:52.240-07:002015-05-31T16:53:52.240-07:00I agree with what you have written and it's ve...I agree with what you have written and it's very frustrating. I think the only thing you can do is put out the word and maybe a few people will notice. I really hate to see people get taken. They are usually the nice ones too - kind and trusting.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282039481061418510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721756258546233776.post-78132496975288486012015-05-25T08:29:20.388-07:002015-05-25T08:29:20.388-07:00Oh, and the newspaper columnist thing was somethin...Oh, and the newspaper columnist thing was something I did part-time while I was teaching, since there was no way a weekly column was enough to pay the bills, lol. Writers don't make much money; someone needs to tell our friend JW that, haha.HotFlashHomesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894953352910455222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721756258546233776.post-44637707754099814962015-05-25T08:27:42.174-07:002015-05-25T08:27:42.174-07:00I agree; the true masters are generally humble, li...I agree; the true masters are generally humble, lifelong learners, which is how they achieve all they do -- they learn continually. It was working at the Observatory that led me into public relations, and then after that I became a teacher once my son was born, since the hours were more complementary with his school hours. I love having had a lot of different jobs; it's made for an interesting life!HotFlashHomesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894953352910455222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7721756258546233776.post-50511152372595016992015-05-25T04:54:12.930-07:002015-05-25T04:54:12.930-07:00Another interesting job I find out you've had!...Another interesting job I find out you've had! You've lived more in 53 years than some do in 100! I think the funny thing about "expertise" is that it's really a rather immature thing to declare. we've all gotten into something, learned all about it, and for a short time thought we really KNEW it. And then, the deeper you dive into any field/interest/hobby the more you realize how little you know! I remember thinking I was a prodigy in the salon world until I started actually working! I went from feeling like I was splashing around in a tide pool to feeling lost in the open Pacific. It's also been my experience that true masters never lose their openness and curiousity to brand new thoughts/ideas on their subject. As in not acting like there's an expert gate that they've been let into and now they're done! Stephen Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657698116552267561noreply@blogger.com
