The world could use a good kick in the pants. - Girl Effect Have you Ever Wondered Why Men Lie? One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a river, his axe fell into the river. When he cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, "Why are you crying?" The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into water, and he needed the axe to make his living. The Lord went down in the water and reappeared with a golden axe. "Is this your axe?" The woodcutter replied, "No." The Lord again went down and came up with a silver axe." Again, the woodcutter replied, "No." The Lord went down again and came up with an iron axe. "Yes", he replied. The Lord was pleased with the man's honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and the woodcutter went home happy. Some time later the woodcutter was walking with his wife along the riverbank, and his wife fell into the river. "Oh Lord, my wife has fallen into the water!" The Lord went down into the water and came up with Angelina Jolie. "Is this your wife?" "Yes," cried the woodcutter. The Lord was furious. It is a misunderstanding.

Harry Potter Treats This is part I in a mini-series of Harry Potter snacks from the books brought to life (part II is all about the cauldron cakes, part III features every wizard's favorite drink—butterbeer!— and part IV showcases decadent butterbeer cupcakes). Harry Potter has always held a special place in my life. I started reading the books when I was 11 years old. Harry and I grew up together. The books were as much of a part of my childhood as school or my friends. Harry Potter and his world have always held a magical quality for me. Over the last ten years, Harry Potter has taught me about life and growing up. As the release of the last movie approaches, it marks the end of an era for me. JK Rowling, if you only knew the profound and positive effect you've had on my life. While the release of the last movie looms ever closer, I wanted to bring to life various Harry Potter treats from the series. Today's menu: sweets from Honeydukes and the Hogwarts Express food trolley. Unwrap the lollipops.

Writing the Dreaded Cover Letter I've written other posts about writing challenges connected to the job search: how writing anxiety can affect the job search and how writing samples add another layer of challenge to the job seeker. But of all the writing-related activities of the job search, the one task most universally hated is the cover letter. It seems to cause anxiety for many otherwise well-qualified job seekers. And there's a reason for that: it's not an easy document to write. You have to find a way to appeal to the employer, summarize your key strengths relevant to the position, convey your personality, express your interest, and differentiate yourself from every other candidate- and all in one page. Oh, that's all? It's no wonder that many put it off. Part of the problem seems to be that many people do not view themselves as writers.
