I agree with you that time spent with one's children is better spent than time at work, even at the expense of many luxuries. I also agree that the perceived "security" of a full-time salaried position is largely an illusion: it is safer to have a variety of income streams, if possible. Thanks again for the article.

]]> Comment on Corporate Jargon: Please. Can you speak like a human being? by Sylvain http://www.jaymorrissey.com/2008/05/02/corporate-jargon-please-can-you-speak-like-a-human-being/#comment-1709 Sylvain Thu, 06 Nov 2008 16:42:08 +0000 http://www.jaymorrissey.com/2008/05/02/corporate-jargon-please-can-you-speak-like-a-human-being/#comment-1709 Hi! I'm french and I was looking on the internet for a kind of dctionnary of "corporate terms" that are used every day at work. I found this article by chance and I'm quite astonished. In France, most of "corporate words" are english. For french people, speaking english seems to be a sign of extreme intellectual superiority!!! Really I was sure that this problem was particularely french as we use english words to please our egos, I couldn't think of english guys using french word to have a "dans le vent" behavior!! :p Consequently, thanks for this article, I feel less lonesome today, and I will smile a little more knowing other people cannot support thoses way of talking!!! :) Hi!

]]> Comment on Respect: Is Kindness Your Weakness? by David http://www.jaymorrissey.com/2008/03/09/respect-is-kindness-your-weakness/#comment-1704 David Mon, 03 Nov 2008 20:26:32 +0000 http://www.jaymorrissey.com/2008/03/09/respect-is-kindness-your-weakness/#comment-1704 I usually don't comment on blogs, but this is such a great post. The car analogy really put things into perspective for me. I noticed that I quite frequently try to make myself too available for others and in turn people don't really seem value my time. They seem to think I have all the time in the world, since I am not tied to a strict schedule and I usually don't say "no", because I would feel slightly guilty if I did due to that. This is something I will need to work on from now on for sure. Thank you for the great information! I usually don’t comment on blogs, but this is such a great post.

It is narrow-minded to think that everybody wants to run their own business or be an artist. Some people just need a salary so that they can live life - life is about life, not income.

What matters is not whether you prefer employment or entrepreneurship. The most important thing is that you choose a path where you can raise enough income to support your family. Unfortunately, given the lack of job security these days, you cannot rely on a single job to support your family into the future.

]]> Comment on The Art of Conversation: Stranger? No danger. by chango http://www.jaymorrissey.com/2008/01/15/the-art-of-conversation-stranger-no-danger/#comment-1601 chango Tue, 21 Oct 2008 02:11:42 +0000 http://www.jaymorrissey.com/2008/01/15/the-art-of-conversation-stranger-no-danger/#comment-1601 Well written article! I will sometimes find myself in situations where I would like to start a conversation with a stranger, yet i don't because of the fear that they'll find that weird or they'll look at me funny. I wasn't always like this though, just a couple of years ago I could turn the most awkward social situation into a two hour conversation. I guess all this techno-socializing has had some effects on my ability to interact with people face to face! Your article is going to be my stepping stone into becoming the old me again!
