Today’s technologies are all supposed to make our lives better, easier, safer. But one lost art form that has been proven to outperform innovation is old-fashioned handwriting. Writing with pen and paper probably seems as archaic as *69 or hieroglyphics… “With Google iCloud calendar right on my phone, why would I need to carry a planner?” “Typing is so quick.

One thing many successful entrepreneurs have in common is that they made an early start with their business endeavors. The most famous of all is probably Mark Zuckerberg, who launched Facebook from a dorm room at Harvard. Facebook wasn’t even his first project—he’d previously released an app that helped fellow students choose their college classes. There are plenty of other examples.

We all know that things get difficult when someone wants something too much. You might have had a needy boyfriend or girlfriend whose constant need for reaffirmation and over-reaction to perceived signs of problems undermined your relationship.

Kate Fagan has written a must-read book for every parent of a high school or college athlete. The story of Madison Holleran is a heartbreaking one. Maddy was a star athlete in high school, in a big (five kids) happy family with two engaged parents.
