Work: Having a team of engaged employees and getting good employee engagement scores in surveys are two different things.  You need separate strategies for both.

Faith: Having faith in the power of prayer is faith in your or someone else’s human power, and is different from having faith in God.

Thought: “Fascism is more of a natural state than democracy. To assume blithely that we can export democracy into any country we choose can serve paradoxically to encourage more fascism at home and abroad. Democracy is a state of grace that is attained only by those countries who have a host of individuals not only ready to enjoy freedom but to undergo the heavy labor of maintaining it” – Norman Mailer

Movies: Watched Lorna’s Silence. 2008 film about an Albanian woman living in Belgium, in a sham marriage. Won best screenplay award at Cannes and best French language film at the Lumiere Award. 4 out of 5 start in my rating.

Life: It is mazing how much you can catch up when you spend time with close friends or families. Something that I do not often get to do in larger gatherings.
