THE DIGNITY OF WORK
BRYCE ON LIFEEvery job is important. I had a friend who used to be very class conscious when it came to work. He wouldn’t socialize with other people he deemed below him and was very choosy when it came to where he lived. If the wrong class of workers were in the neighborhood, he wouldn’t […]

BRYCE ON SOCIETY– What is the true cause of our changing world and what can be done about it? In lieu of the riots in Baltimore, I thought I would talk about the importance of family values. Like millions of people, I watched in horror at the “protesters” on television. Perhaps a better name is […]

BRYCE ON LIFE– What is the true cause of our changing world and what can be done about it? To most adults, Bed Bugs are a symbol of vermin. To me, they are a symbol of change. Adults rightfully view them as parasitic blood suckers, but lately our youth are now smoking and injecting them […]

What makes this particularly painful is when a person believes another has his/her best interests in mind and will defend them. This can be between two friends, business associates, school, […]

BRYCE ON SOCIETY – Try it. You might even enjoy the reaction you receive. In my travels around town, I’ve noticed a lot of sour expressions on people’s faces. Maybe it’s just the snowbirds from up north. There just seems to be a lot of unhappy people walking around these days wearing a sourpuss. In […]

BRYCE ON SELF – Or someone who is passionately curious? For as long as I can remember in my professional career, I have been accused of being a rabble-rouser by one person or another. When consulting on systems or management, people would be insulted when our company told them the truth. They had trouble accepting […]
