Poor and antisocial driving behaviors are more than just bad habits on the road–they are often a direct reflection of how someone treats others in everyday life. When we sit behind the wheel, all the social filters we put up at work, with friends, or on social media start to slip away. The road becomes a kind of truth serum. Those who tailgate, cut people off, speed through neighborhoods and school zones, or refuse to let others merge aren't just d...

The patterns that emerge from a person's past decisions, or lack thereof, can provide valuable insights into whether their current stance is driven by genuine conviction or by a desire to win favor or advance a personal agenda.

In any organization or community, the individuals we recognize as leaders hold a significant amount of influence. They set the tone, establish the culture, and often dictate the direction in which the group will move. However, not everyone in a leadership position is inherently worthy of the title "leader." It is crucial to be discerning in whom we acknowledge as a leader, reserving that designation for those who genuinely embody the qualitie...
