Where Do We Go From Here?

Posted on July 2, 2020 by kirkhazlett

No surprise here…I have NO idea what the future holds for any of us. The optimist in me says “Hang in there. Things WILL get better.” The world has been through other, at the time equally daunting, challenges and somehow … Continue reading →

Patience…A Virtue That Must Be Nurtured

Posted on June 27, 2020 by kirkhazlett

I’ll be the first to admit it. When I think of something that I want or want to do, I want it NOW. Not “later.” Not “tomorrow.” NOW!! I’ve “kind of” mellowed over the years, but this trait has always … Continue reading →

Paying It Back…and Forward!

Posted on January 27, 2020 by kirkhazlett

Let’s face it. We don’t…not a single one of us does…get where we are in life without the encouragement and help of others. If you look back on it, there has been someone who you have turned to at some … Continue reading →

Get A Grip

Posted on January 20, 2020 by kirkhazlett

The past year has been, to put it politely, a royal pain in the @$$. Seems like for every reasonably good thing that happened at least two not-so-good things stuck their snouts into my business. Nothing cataclysmic, mind you. Just … Continue reading →

Disinformation versus Reality

Posted on August 12, 2019 by kirkhazlett

(Note to readers: This is a copy of a “Letter to the Editor” of the Taipei Times that I wrote and was recently published. We hear so doggone much about “fake news” and “disinformation” and all that. What do YOU … Continue reading →

Your Career and You: “I’m Ba-aack!”

Posted on January 12, 2019 by kirkhazlett

For those of you who have paid attention, I have been “MIA” for several months now. Nothing unusual (sort of) going on…just haven’t updated this blog for a while. But, as you know if you’re reading this and to borrow … Continue reading →

Your Career and You: “What’s Next?”

Posted on January 30, 2018 by kirkhazlett

One of the hallmarks of my own professional life has been a never-changing “itch” to try something new or different. Even while in high school and college, I dabbled in jobs like grocery store bagboy, bartender, poolroom manager, highway department … Continue reading →

Your Career and You: “The End and the Beginning”

Posted on September 11, 2017 by kirkhazlett

Posted on July 17, 2016 by kirkhazlett

It’s Sunday morning, and I’ve just wrapped up the first set of tasks that I’ve inherited over the past 40-plus years of married life, one of which is ironing clothes. I actually enjoy this chore, and I used to think … Continue reading →
