Memento Mori I've decided to start a tradition of penning a short essay on my birthday for as long as I can. So, on (or around) March 31, you can expect a short essay from me reflecting on life and living. Why would I start this tradition on my birthday with an essay titled "Memento Mori"? If you don't know, Memento Mori loosely means "Remember you must die." Why, on a day when I should be celebrating in some form or fashion, would I choose to think and talk about death?

A short birthday reflection.

Be Kind “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” - Ian MacLaren As I sit on a plane, 30,000 feet in the air, heading to pay my final respects to my father-in-law, I am reminded that the last time I traveled to Nigeria without some grief was April 2019 — to celebrate a milestone birthday for my Dad.

Why All the Drama? The following post is an adaptation of a chapter from my upcoming book, titled "Navigating Organizational Life: Individual, Relations, and Context." I've adapted it for social life. Enjoy! I'd love your feedback as well. Why do we experience so much drama in the workplace (and life more broadly)? Chris Argyris proffers an explanation for this with Model I theory-in-use. Model I (and Model II) outline the implicit theories that guide our actions.

It's Not You, It's Them
It's Not You, It's Them YouTube video by Joy at Work

Their actions might cause you to question your own sanity.
I'm here to tell you.
It's not you. It's them.
