Back in the Trenches

Yes, it’s been a while since there were regular posts regarding any subject on this blog. The absence has been even more protracted on each of my other blogs. You’d think that I’d be much more conscientious about keeping up my writing schedule in light of the fact that I’ve been invited to blog on [...]

Grass Is Greener Syndrome

Back in the ’90s, my news producer friend and colleague and I talked about how we admired the status of the other. Kevin said I had a choice situation with being freelance because I could pick and choose what type of content I wanted to work. I admired Kevin because of the [...]

All It Takes

As if I don’t have enough to do, I have a series of meetings with government agencies the rest of this week. It seems they’ve stopped doing something very vital (paying me) and it’s causing a compromise in my agenda (paying my bills). Today’s meeting was striking because of the couple of questions that were [...]

Job Search Effectiveness

There are so many in the media who are more than enthusiastic about jumping on the “tight labor market” bandwagon. It seems like everyone and his neighbor is harping about how hard it is to find a job and the extraordinary lengths to which people need to go in order to find one. Are you having [...]

Identity and Selflessness

I've talked about the challenges that the media face when determining what is valid news in order to create compelling content that informs and educates. On the same day that the revelations regarding The Press occurred to me, I also observed some skills that are required of a politician in order to be considered re-electable, charismatic, and capable. Those observations made me wonder whether I could handle that pr… Continue

About Amy

Amy and Ed Becker have been together for ten years. Amy has an MBA and a very responsible position in the company where she's worked for the past seven years. That's just about the same amount of time that Amy and Ed have been experiencing difficulties.

When her job entailed being at the desk each and every day, it was necessary for Amy to miss at least three to five days a month for some strange accidents she kept having. But as time, experience, and responsibilities passed a… Continue

Becoming Part of the Community

Within the last four weeks, there have been three new people move into the place where I'm living. Last night I had an opportunity to have a conversation with the newest member of the house and get acquainted with him. He and the other new man in the house are contrasts in some ways. In reflecting on their similarities and differences, it seemed to me that they are quite representative of what we find in the workplace. So I dare to venture into this usually private realm in order to examine some… Continue

Women and Facing Adversity

I'm a warrior-princess. It's a hard-earned title and not romantic at all. There are other types of warriors and other types of princesses. We've seen the spectrum of them in the business world.

The Warrior

The warrior is the one who is ready and able to go into battle on her own at any time. She relishes a good fight for the sake of the sport and the challenge. It forces her to use her skill and knowledge to the utmost in order to survive. It makes her come up with new ways to attack th… Continue

Vocabulary Builder

/*

*/
November 16, 2007

Here's a vocabulary builder with multiple purposes. Not only does it strive (as does with both of our vocabulary builders) to build your vocabulary and recognition of words (and therefore, your word power), increased facility in speaking and writing, better performance on qualifying and placement exams, better reading speed, and improved interviews. In addition, each time you get a word right there's a benefit for others.

Each correct word delivers credit for 10 grains of rice to a person in a country where there is poverty and hunger, distributed by the United Nations World Food Program. To see the current country breakdown of donations, click here.

Click the logo to play the game or simply click here.

May 28, 2007:

Well, here's the inaugural installment of the Vocabulary Builder. Incidentally, if you have some vocabulary builders to recommend, send them over (along with the definitions, if you have them!).

Match Up
Match each word in the left column with its synonym on the right. When finished, click Answer to see the results. Good luck!
