Professionalism- conducting one's self in a manner congruent with standard moral, ethical and business practices associated with a particular industry or sphere.

Now that we have defined this word...what does it mean to you? Does it mean showing up to work every day in a suit or business blouse? Does it mean, never being late for an appointment? Never mixing business with pleasure? The word professionalism can mean various things to different types of people, depending on who you ask, but...can we demonstrate a level of professionalism outside of the office?

In today's pour, we will ponder this question, as we sip our tasty joe! So, without further ado, raise your cups and let's begin...

If you scamper around the internet long enough, you're bound to come across someone impersonating the "greatness" of someone else, but one has to ask...is it really worth it? Just imagine giving away precious hours and years of your life to look, sound and behave like another person...Is it worth it? Sure, you can make a lot of money if you do it right, but what about you? If you're pretending to be someone else...who will be you?

In today's pour, you will hear me rifle through a few abstract thoughts in the backrooms of my mind to deliver a very important message...Enjoy ^_^

If you had to decide between amassing a great deal of practical knowledge or theoretical knowledge in a short time, which one would you choose? This is a question that a lot of people ask themselves... only when it's too late.

In today's pour, we are going to talk about a few wild vids on YouTube that show some of the world's "silliest" people trying to outsmart the law.

So with that, raise your cups and let's begin...

If you are reading this now, you already know that change is an inevitable and critical part of your success in learning a new language. In fact, without change, I think it would be safe to say that most if not all of us would still be rolling on the floor because we never tried to stand up and walk.

Change demands growth and growth demands change. In today's pour, we will talk about a recent change that occurred in my life which we will refer to as "The Haircut". Grab your cups and let's begin...
