Tread


“Tread”. Most people would say that tread is how much rubber is between you and the road. “Tread” is a word used to describe the amount of traction your tires would provide. If someone was planning on mud-bogging down a rough path, they might use tires with a larger tread or more aggressive pattern. But if someone was racing a car, they may use tires with a smoother surface. So, tread can be used to evaluate what someone’s intentions are. It’s a way to figure out where they are headed. But tread is also unique, Forensic scientists can use tread to figure out who has been to a particular location.
Tread: it’s more than just how much rubber is between you and the road. It’s a way to figure out where you’ve been and where you hope to go.

Worth Every Penny: A Luxury Experience

Have you ever gotten home and then wondered why you bought something? I am sure everyone in North America has experienced a little bit of buyer’s guilt at some time. Maybe you thought you needed the item, but then realized you didn’t, or maybe you thought the product would help you in some way, but it didn’t fit into your lifestyle, or maybe you really did need and use the item, but the high cost made you regret it a little bit. Marketing is the process of convincing people that a product will enhance their life in some way. Each industry approaches this in different ways. Most industries are happy to maintain a portion of the market share, as long as they are not losing ground. In fast food, it’s so competitive that if they have even one quarter without market share growth, they consider that a loss. Honestly, though, everyone has to eat. Fast food marketing is just a matter of convincing customers to fill their need at a specific chain. It’s not like convincing them to buy so

The Art of Productivity

Productivity is rare. Those who do manage to accomplish impressive tasks appear to be superhuman! Do productive people hold some ancient secret? The secret to productivity isn’t locked in a vault or hidden in the mind of a monk, but it is shrouded by misinformation and hampered by human nature.  Most people realize that food fuels our ability to do work. Our physical energy is a finite resource: there’s only so much of it. Likewise, the mental energy which powers our ability to focus and be creative will run out. Because there are many draws on our mental fuel, it is wise to be deliberate about maintaining enough brainpower for the pursuits we care about.  Why You Need Mental Energy When pursuing productivity, it can be confusing why sometimes we are able to be effective and other times we aren’t. It is hard to track because our motivation, focus and creativity are powered by an intangible force. Have you ever wanted to work on a project, but instead you procrastinated a

Year of Reading: Series Introduction

Image
 At the beginning of 2021, I set an audacious goal. I wanted to read one book a week for the entire year. Several factors played into this goal. a.        I’d heard that the average CEO reads 50 books a year. Some faulty logic told me that by reading 50 books in a year I’d be just like a CEO. It’s like saying “all pro tennis players own a tennis racket, so if I own a tennis racket, I’ll be a pro”. Now let’s be clear, I didn’t actually think reading 50 books would make me a CEO, but I was attracted by the habits of CEOS. b.        I noticed that I was reading at a pace of about one book per week, so continuing seemed doable. c.        I noticed that there were a few books I repeatedly borrowed from the library because I enjoyed them so much and wanted to come back to the information they provided. But I’m so cheap that I never buy books. So I made myself a deal: if I read a book a week, I’d let myself buy 12 books. This too was a mental trick. I could have just as easily bought
