Times of Trouble
Sometimes things go wrong and the unexpected happens. Panicking during such times does not help things. It is better to stay calm and think of the right actions to take. I like how Ken handled his problems in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok_ZCW2JdHc. I watch a lot of Ken’s videos. It was the first time he got into… Continue reading

Wishes
I remember reading stories about the granting of wishes when I was a little girl. I always read the things wished for with interest. But, I always wondered why the person didn’t use one wish to ask for more wishes so that he/she could wish for more things. So, that would be my first wish… Continue reading

Career Changes
My post yesterday reminded me of my early career desires. I recall that one of the reasons I did finance was so I could work for one of the international finance organizations. When I graduated with my master’s degree in finance, I tried unsuccessfully to obtain a job at one of those organizations. I was… Continue reading

Living
Today I learned of the death of my high school English teacher. He was an outstanding Guyanese and another person who is gone. One memory I have of him is that he once mentioned my name (along with the names of a few other girls in his class) on the radio. He was also a… Continue reading

Different Food
Good morning from Linden, Guyana! Yesterday, I had pizza. I felt like I was having a special treat. It was the first time I had pizza in months. It did not taste as good as pizza in the United States but it was a good experience. My diet has been different. I am eating Guyanese… Continue reading

My mother told me there is a lot of activity around the neighborhood. I don’t know what that is about but I am not going… Continue reading
FEATURED
I am working to be published.
I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.
About THIS BLOG
I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.
I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.
I welcome comments. Submit your comments and feedback at any time. I prefer that you use Facebook for comments, but feel free to comment in any of the blogs or on Twitter.
