Sensitivity, an asset and a liability, read on . . .


From Baltimore:
Because of privacy purposes, I'm not able to share the exact screenshots of this conversation. But, I have been granted permission to share the contents of this "fiery" conversation! Sure, to the outside world, I might seem intelligent, creative, and passionate, but there's a very sensitive side to me that only my family knows how to reveal:
Exhibit A:
(emails between Dallas and Baltimore with REPLY ALL to family)

I just thought of a quote that I think we would all be wise to heed. You're welcome in advance:
"If you have a resentment, you must let it dissipate...like a fart"

pla·gia·rize/ˈplājəˌrīz/



Verb:
  1. Take (the work or an idea of someone else) and pass it off as one's own.
  2. Copy from (someone) in such a way.

It doesn't have to be in print to be plagiarized. Bottom line you don't put your name/take credit for something you didn't do. I have a blog to express my original ideas on a topic, when I use other people's ideas I give them credit. I'm amazed that I have to explain this to you. Don't read my blog if you feel compelled to proliferate my ideas with your name, it's just weird--totally a compliment because I respect you, but still weird that you think it's okay.
