The Care bear Organizational Psychology Theory
Hopefully Mattel will forgive me for using the Care bears as the working title for my theory, I am not sure if copyright infringement can be used against a theory, but it is better than someone using the Twinkie defense (1). There is a TV show called numbers that features an FBI agent, Don and his Brother, Charlie Epps. Charlie is a professor at CalSci and develops the Friendship Theory while helping solve crime. It was about me being isolated from my friends at the hands of a jealous ex boyfriend, and not being able to reach them. From this, I expended the idea abet stolen from Pay It Forward about the assignment given by the social studies teacher, Eugene Simonet, to put into action a plan that will change the world for the better. The boy, Trevor, calls his plan "pay it forward", which means the recipient of a favor does a favor for three others rather than paying it back. However, it needs to be a favor that the recipient cannot complete themselves. Trevor implements the plan himself, forming a branch of good deeds and networking a sort of angel tree of humanity. When it came to developing the actual theory itself it changed a little.

Counseling And Therapy For Addiction and Mental Health. Top Story - December 2021.
I was meeting with a man for the first and last time in a session that usually did not go this way. He asked if I could hear his confession. I told him that I was not a priest and that if it was a crime or involved hurting himself or another, I could not keep that secret as a priest could. As he started to talk, he made it clear enough without saying it that he had killed someone. Or that at least he was paid to hurt others and paid well to do that. I told him that people in recovery will often make amends by offering to not do that thing anymore. Then he said, “I probably couldn’t do that. I believe that if I’m paid to do this again, I will.” I was thinking how I really didn’t want to carry around his crime or crimes with me. I then said that I would like to help him but I was sure that his best bet would be to speak with a priest and I encouraged him to do that as soon as possible. Our session ended. I think back on that day often. I was new to the position of counselor. A few years later, I was told in a high-speed chase with law enforcement, with him on a motorcycle, he went off the road and became paralyzed for the rest of his life. I was told he is living in a nursing home and that is probably where he will live out his days. Could I have done something different. Something that may have prevented this from happening? This time and others I would look back to see if there wasn’t something that may have changed the circumstances.

Why You Can’t Get Serious About Productivity Unless You Optimize How Your People Use Your Space
For a living, I fund startups. Before that, I was the founder of two software companies. I have spent hours studying historical finances, forecasts, and future projections. As a typical tech startup, I can easily tell you that the two largest cost items are people (60-75% of total expenses) and space (20-20%). Inventory (for hardware and eCommerce companies) is the only significant cost item I see in early-stage startups.

The Incredible Truth About Emotional Intelligence and Entrepreneurship
It was long believed that to become an entrepreneur, you needed to have a high intelligence level. To be an entrepreneur, you don't need to have a high intelligence quotient. You need emotional intelligence, which is something completely different. This trait is more a part of your personality than something you have. It has increased in the past few years as more people try to be emotionally intelligent.
