SCIENCE WATCH
E-mails and egos

An inability to step outside of one's own head may be behind e-mail miscommunication, according to recent research.

Psychologist Justin Kruger, PhD, has seen plenty of e-mails gone awry. Kruger, a professor at New York University, was once a member of a psychology departmental e-mail list at a different university. A job candidate came into town to interview for a faculty position. The faculty member responsible for organizing a meet-and-greet dinner sent around an e-mail invitation that read "talking to the candidate is not required; just don't embarrass us."

"She meant it as a joke, but much to her surprise some people were really upset," says Kruger. "It was a comical miscommunication."

Existence is not for living but excelling while living

I'm not going to live a mediocre life anymore, i've made up my mind. I've been defeated in my thinking for years and have a poor self esteem of myself. But praise God! I am uniquely and wonderfully made in His image.

Pity partying is something i indulge in most of the time, it sucks being in that position for days without ends. I've got to renew my mind and change the way i think. When my thoughts are defeated, i am defeated.

Anyway, tomorrow is my back stretching class in the early morning, going to do some "Yoga" again... lol.
