Topic: The Boot: -out pink cowboy boots. She danced a bit as she waited and then had to run in order to simply keep up with her father's footsteps as they crossed the street. She reminded me of my own daughters, now aged twenty-three and twenty-one. They both proudly wore bedazzled cowboy boots with fringe when they were little. When I told my twenty-one year what I had seen and the memories it inspired, she looked squarely at me and said, "I don't remember having cowboy boots." I am not sure why but this saddened me. It seemed strange to me that she would forget, when the memories were so vivid for me. Especially since those boots had been so important to her and I remember endlessly shopping for the perfect pair. She and her sister wore them often and it was delightful. She still shook her head without a memory stir. It was an interesting lesson for me as I often find myself straining to remember even the simplest things like why I even walked in the other room. Or why I opened a certain cupboard or what I was supposed to tell so-and-so. Memories and remembering play a huge role in what we can achieve. Bad history not repeating itself or figuring out what made good history good and how to relive it or make it happen again. Life and business are filled with lessons. Should we learn from those lessons? Of course, easier said than done, though. I think we learn from what we refute, from what we disprove. It's kind of like the glass is half-full theory, instead of half-empty. In the process, when we recognize that the other half of the full may not be empty but rather only half understood, we get a grip on what is understood. Each of us are at different places in that understanding. Not everyone is ready to accept the significance of pink cowboy boots versus white ones or whether or not cowboy boots are even appropriate footware. Sometimes, it doesn't matter what is appropriate, but rather what makes sense and what is accepted. When we can see past acceptance, we are able to successfully use good for good. Not always an easy thing. But then, who said it was easy? by rayannethorn…; Added by Rayanne at 2:23am on November 15, 2010

Comment on: Blog Post 'Hiring a Monkey Recruiter': rrogant. Probably because she was a fat , squatty little girl with the personality of a brick. I found out that you can't train some old gal in her 50's who doesn't know squat about business and gets pissed everytime she feels dumb trying to talk to an employer or gets pissed and cries when somebody tells her that they wouldn't hire her candidate if he were the last person on the planet. I found out you can't train a big 8 CPA to run an accounting desk because he thought anybody who didn't have Big 8 background was a loser and he didn't know a good bookkeeper from Adam's Off Ox. I found out you can't train somebody who is lazy even if they have good BS. I found out you can't train your best friend if she has her head buried in a Bride magazine and her ultimate goal is to marry Mr. Wonderful who wants her to go Europe this week and Mexico next week. I found out you can't train most kids right out of school because they don't know what they don't know, want everything now, aren't tournament tough, get their feelers hurt and don't know how to fail and get their little butts back up and do it again. I found out you can't train somebody who wants to be national in their first six months wants to try and work with every big company in the world, chase the big one for three months and fail instead of placing 15 little ones and making a lot of money. I found out you can't train a crook who will do anything to make a buck, thinks sales is lying to make a sale, paying a kickback then thinks they are the big schiz while they are destroying your reputation. That one lasted 60 days before i threatened to kill him or have him put in the slammer. I found out you CAN train almost any sharp young lady who has been through a divorce is looking for a break, has some good sense, a couple of kids to support and wants her W-2 to be bigger than her ex-husband's W-2 at the end of the year. Can you train a monkey to recruit? Sure if your idea of recruiting is to post a job, read resumes and forward 5 or 6 to a client so the client can pick the one they want. I call those "resume monkeys". There are a whole lot of them in our industry both agency and corporate. they do no harm, they smile a lot, they tweet, blog, facebook, everybody likes them and they move around a lot. The only problem is they think they is one but everybody can use a few of them, it's better than reading all those resumes and sending notes back yourself. …; Added by Sandra McCartt at 4:19pm on March 21, 2013
