Can. Cannot. Can. Can't.

...students are masters because masters are students.

It occurs to me that there is a thing that happens consistently.

It is the consistency at which we learn behaviors, or our way of doing things, Method.

It merely occurs...

Loss | Aversion

So, here's the thing...

What are we talking about?
Oh, yes...
Loss aversion, the correlation to relationship failure and the delay of the inevitable.

No... applause, cheers.
No... boo’s, critiques.

Here goes free will, for the win...

There is desire to have you join the rank and file orating on the idea of...
"There is no guru".

The morality of the task

...maybe you can get something done today.

So you have heard this before... I am sure one of your more self-effacing friends, colleagues or acquaintances has brought this to your attention.
