Look over your work before you turn it in!
When deciding what will pass as a solid assessment of our written content, we should all know that effective proofreading is not simply “looking over” the verbiage.
Can you guess what's the most overlook stage of the review process? Find out what it is and why it's so valuable.
I once caused a stir among the security officers at the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.

Triumphs and defeats may or may not make headlines, but they often produce character-defining moments in people’s lives.
Whether following a win or a loss, closing remarks can be powerful—enough to impact what happens next, such as expanding the loser’s influence and eroding the winner’s fan base.
