Hilary – you are so welcome! Good for you for honoring your mother. That’s wonderful!

My name is Polish, and it’s my understanding it was originally with a bunch of Cs, Zs and Js, and we Anglicized it. Amazing huh?

Make it a GREAT day!

Hi Phil .. thanks for stopping by my blog – it’s for my dying mother .. the kind of articles, stories that I’ve written to friends and family about .. which we’ve also discussed – chatted, laughed and had memories brought back to us.

I just love your name .. where on earth did it come from?! – to coin your post & turn it on its head .. this is “a it’s not business it’s personal” .. a question!!??

Thanks .. have a great day ..

Hilary – I didn’t expect to enjoy this article either. I got a copy of his newest book, and after reading this article, I think I may actually read it or at least thumb through it before I give it away.

Great blog you have too! Thanks for stopping by!

It’s funny, I am not a fan either, and I agree with you, that mean is a sign of weakness.

This article made me think about things a little differently, especially in the face of many friends getting laid off. It’s not personal, it’s just business. Sad, but true, at least right now.

Hi Phil .. I always thought Donald Trump was a bit much .. but leaving that out of it and just taking his words ..

..Be tough, be smart, be personable, but don’t take things personally. That’s good business.

Makes good sense – if applied to oneself .. ie you work hard, you do it as intelligently as you can, you never do someone else down & you don’t take things personally .. perhaps the most difficult part – as it leads to so much negativity.

Thanks – I enjoyed that .. much more than I thought I would …

Never been a fan of Trump. I do admit much of what he says is valid & has merit but I can’t agree with it all. ” I don’t enjoy being vicious, but sometimes in selfdefense it becomes necessary.” Being mean is NEVER an option. I actaully think it is a weakenss.
Trump, has always been pompous & obnoxious. He’s also done alot of unscrupulous business transactions that he actually brags about. Personally, I don’t know how the guy sleeps at night. Just my opinion……
