What does not kill me

makes me stronger. Nietzsche, 1888.

Just as there is no crying in baseball, there is no loyalty with employment. We’ve had up and down times and make it through because we have each other, and our families and friends.

We deal with divorces, deaths, layoffs and become stronger and closer.

When it comes to work, it comes down to education, persistence and a continued need for personal and professional growth. I know kids aren’t reading this, so tell your kids to stay in school.

Study math and science and do sports and get to know people. Be smart. Study the hard stuff and the world is your oyster. My husband says I got by on “soft skills,” social science. Hey, I married a geek but he’s a gem. And he knows I’m smart in many other ways as writer, editor and counselor, and we complement each other. E=mc2, that didn’t work, Dee
