Bio
I have spent a life in uniform, adventuring through this muddled-up world as time passed. I've lived, loved, fallen on my face only to try again. Now, as I get older, my only regret was not writing it down. It's time to start.

Learning About Our Local Sikhs During The Holidays
As the world changes and we start to resemble more of a global community, there is little excuse not to learn about the neighbors and fellow community members that come from other lands.

It's almost New Years again and we are, a lot of us anyway, looking to the future and what we can do better than we did this year. I'll grant you all that the world has thrown us a lot of curveballs. It seems like we've been hit with a continuous round of curveballs. From the Covid-19 virus to the rise in inflation, to the messy politics we're forced to endure, to the crazy rise in crime the news shows us, all the way to empty shelves in the world's "greatest" country. How can the world improve? I don't know… But I can say that people can make their lives better if they want to in 2022.

Why People Really Leave Their Jobs The employment market has changed drastically in just a short, but tumultuous two years. For it to change for the better, the problems that have existed in the market for years, need to be looked at in the new and much more fluid world. That examination should start from the top of the organization or business, and go down through the ranks. It may even be time to consider that living in a purely capitalist society, with little opportunity for employees to fully enjoy the spoils of their labor, has run its' course and a paradigm shift is needed. Profit is great, but profit and success depend more on the achievements of the first line in your organization. If your first line is always leaving, spends little time with you after they're trained, and you are always in need of star players, then look within yourselves, managers.

Jason Ray MortonPublished 2 months ago in FYIA Candid Interview About Covid, The New Omicron Virus, And Vaccines
Another Variant Is On The Way-Omicron By now, we all know that Omicron is coming. Not to be confused with the world-ending Transformer, Unicron, Omicron is likely to be less fun than the toy and cartoon character put out by the Hasbro Company. Omicron is just the latest in the endless pandemic emergency that the governments of earth, the best minds in the scientific community, and the citizens of the world have had to contend with during the past two years. We're all getting tired, even frustrated by the new world. The phrase, the New Normal, was coined in the mid-summer of 2020. Here we are, and it's nearly 2022, and nothing about this feels normal to most people. Especially those that have suffered through the hardships and suffering caused by the virus.

What Is The One Question We Should All Be Asking?
What is the one question that we should all be asking more often? Questions are the beginning of great adventures in life. They're the core of discovery. A question led us to the great mysteries of the world, to space, and the deepest depths of the ocean. Without men like the Wright Brothers, we would never have taken to the skies.
