REPLY: How I learned to say, 'Hi, Google Docs; bye, MS Word'  [ http://cnet.co/Ij0fyB via @CNET ]

When it comes to office technology, I wouldn't toss out MS Word or the other Microsoft applications. True, MS Word has over 1000+ features which the average user does not use. However, it's designed for the office specialist - the document producer. Google Docs are good but, it's not great. It lacks the formatting features that MS Office and Open Office have.  Google Docs might be sufficient for cloud based companies that aren't heavily document driven. Yet, as for day to day documentation, plans, and processes, I recommend sticking to the Office applications. And as with anything, there are risks - when it comes to security and leveraging documents - I wouldn't risk it in the Google cloud.

Passive-aggressiveness is confusion’s weakness.


      When we’re passive aggressive, we operate in a state of - believing in ourselves, yet doubting our own abilities. This is a lack of confidence.  Unfortunately, the longer we persist at our goals while facing unwelcomed challenges, the more we start to feel like we are not good enough.  At that moment, we’re walking in a passive-aggressive mode – that is, living up to our goals but doubting ourselves the entire time.  This toggling back and forth leads to unnecessary confusion.  Experience has taught me to, drop passive.  When moving forward walk aggressively, move with a purpose.  Stride for your claim. Should you need to pause, do so only to let one pass. Never, block anyone from going forward, for that is the only time to be passive.
