I'm not interested in being a leader but I've heard that compassionate leaders get more work and better performance from their teams and my second question is: 2.) Are there compassionate ...

Hi Mr. Yanaz Aljjboori, For the firms that you apply to you can "request an accommodation". All companies in our country, and some countries abroad too, are to meet ADA and EEOC regulations. If you don't drive a car, since you live in Massachusetts, which is where I reside, you can opt for commuting. ...

Hi Danielle, I like the snap tools. If you leave an open window you can select them as you like. My favorite is selecting the tools by their shortcuts, there's a chain of buttons you can select without clicking on the button using the mouse, for example if I want to use a line, I click "Q" then ...

Hi Ms. Jameelah Ingram, I think maybe what some of us are missing are those moments of exploration without criticism. When we are in kindergarten we don't really think much about what good or bad ideas are and there is an innocence to that level of exploration that a lot of us are missing as adults. ...
