To be In Over Your Head means to be or become involved in a situation in which you do not have the necessary skills, knowledge, money or know-how to succeed. Sounds miserable, difficult and like it would require a lot of work to overcome. Who wants that? Most people don’t! Who wants to be a beginner and
Nothing comes easy in life. Nothing! Zip, Zero, Nada, لا شى (that’s Arabic for nothing). If something did come easy for you, hang on tight, because it most likely won’t be around for long. You rarely keep what you don’t earn. Excellence, talent, fame, and success rarely occur without hard work, extreme action and long

I think it’s fun to be human, but it seems lately I run into humans who aren’t enjoying it. While waiting in line at 7-11 today I witnessed a human get angry when his lottery scratch off card didn’t win him millions. His vocabulary burned its way from one of my ears right through to the
Be careful using corporate jargon and business speak. People never talk like that once they leave the office. When I hear an especially “fluent” corporate jargon speaker I imagine them at the dinner table talking to their kids: “Don’t drink the Kool-Aide at school, I am empowering you to make your own decisions when it comes to
If you grew up in the 70’s you will remember when your TV or radio would beep and a deep voiced announcer would say, “This is only a test. This is only a test of the emergency broadcast system.” Every time it happened I was sure Russia was bombing us. (I was taught that in grade school!) Remember
