10 Things Business School Doesn’t Teach
The Weekend contains no workdays. Instances of ‘Tomorrow’ used on a Friday will automatically get mapped to ‘Monday’. A manager’s job is not to motivate. If you want to motivate, become a puppeteer.

How to Look Good
by enlitened I am always hearing of people telling me that they found something in the last place they looked. An of course you do to. Idiots will tell them “well of course you did. Why would you keep looking after you have found it?” Don’t listen to those jerks because they are just stupid….
