It's really tragic when I make a comment on this woman's G+ page about her obvious misunderstanding of the purpose of being a teacher - and she bans me, blocks me and removes her post. It's a sad state of affairs when you have 'teachers' doing such things. It's not my fault if she doesn't understand that teaching should be a selfless act, not a matter of self-promotion, ego and arrogance...regardless of one's gender. It's not my fault if, though she is a teacher, she fails to understand that teaching is about working for 'a cause', not working for 'applause'. At any rate, it's just one of the many problems plaguing the poorly managed and applied 'education system' that routinely allows people to 'fall through the cracks'. My suggestion: go find another occupation...

But titles and authority matter—especially to women who are typecast as nurturers and generalists.

I, for one, welcome our new murderational overlords! (Pardon me...while I go buy a rain suit) [This is awesome! I wish I could see it in person!] :P

This woman has her head on straight! She's a great role model for the cautious ones who just set off on their way through life (or the ones that are sick of getting bad results).

I changed how I ate and worked out like crazy. It was great and I felt pretty... except for a few ugly things.

All I can say is...

All I can say is... - Guangbiao Chen is not shy.

Personally, I think he's among the most brilliant guys in the business...definitely one of the kindest and greatest mentors. I can't begin to imagine the tragedy and hardship this man has had to overcome - yet, he rises above it every time, like a Phoenix! Here's to 1,000 more years, Dave Grohl! (I think you should be first in line when we get our eternal robot bodies) ;)

Some things just make life so much easier for those who tend to 'have a lot on their plates', like I have for years. Email in-boxes have always been somewhat of a dreadful thing to think about dealing with. That seems to get more difficult as time goes by. Fortunately, tools come along that make it much less dreadful. You might wanna' check this one out! ;o)
