Soft Skills

You probably see yourself as a “good person”, yet notice how often you smooth the edges of the truth. You say “it’s fine” when it isn’t, nod in meetings you disagree with, promise “I’ll send it tonight” knowing it will be tomorrow. Honesty, as a soft skill, is the ability to stay real — in […]

Arrogance is that sharp inner stance of “I know better” that slowly pushes people away. On the outside you may look confident and successful; on the inside you feel constantly forced to prove you are right, smarter, or more important.

You wake up with a head full of intentions: focus at work, clear your inbox, finally start that long-delayed project. By noon, your day has turned into a stream of interruptions, half-finished tasks, and small fires. You feel busy and drained, yet strangely guilty — as if you should “just try harder,” but you’re not
