Tolerance

Folks, it is time to have an honest discussion about this topic. I know we've had this fireside chat before but it seems we've forgotten what this word means and how it works. Let's start with the basics. Merriam-Webster defines the word 'tolerate' this way: to allow...

Persuasion

There are times in our lives where we have to convince someone of something. I think this is an art we begin to cultivate as a child. Back then our wants are so many, but we don't get to pick so we learn how to compromise, promise, sweet talk. As we get older and...
