I was watching my daughter play a soccer game. It was indoor soccer, as outdoor soccer is moderately miserable to completely impossible in the winter or early spring. The games are quick and everyone has a lot of fun. Someone scored a goal and everyone cheered. As I was taking a sip of beer a …

Yes, you heard me right. You are replaceable. And this should be a relief to you. Many times we feel the work we do is so unique and that without it the company/industry/economy/world will fall apart without us. I believed this at one point, but in reality this is all a grand delusion. At first, …
