Folks, I'm going to be completely honest with you on how today's blog post was born. It's really pretty simple. I wasn't feeling it . . .

Let’s face it. Making comparisons is a natural part of a human being’s existence. To tell someone to never compare (even one’s self to another) is to basically tell someone not to function as a normal human being. I mean we’re taught to compare at a very young age.

In this installment of "The Art of People Business", I'm not discussing how people may have misunderstandings on work mantras such as "work smarter, not harder"; "if you don't work, you don't eat", "work first, play later", "there is no substitute for hard work", and "hard work always pays off".

There's not one single, solitary person that I personally know who enjoys being ignored.

No one relishes in the thought of being easily dismissed as if he or she is not worthy of the other … Continue reading The Art of People Business – Stellar Follow-Up
