Correct use of the title “Esq.”

This has long been a pet pieve of mine:  The inappropriate use of the self-laudatory title "Esquire".  When signing your own name you may indicate you are an "Attorney at Law" but please don't refer to yourself as "Esq."  And while we're on the subject of grammatical pet pieves do not tell someone he or […]

Watson’s Formula For Succcess "    Would you like me to give you a formula for success?  It’s quite simple, really.  Double your rate of failure.  You’re thinking of failure as the enemy of success, but it isn’t at all.  You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it.      So […]
