    Hi Amy, ... I totally agree with you.
    Actually I'm a PMP instructor and at the end of each training this is my message to my class,
    "Don't forget to plan for the most important project, ... Your Life"
    Thanks for saying it loud.
    Ahmad

    Thank you Amy,
    At the age of 54, I couldn't agree with you more. Project management of our life should be taught in jr high school. I am starting boot camp next week and since I have been preparing for boot camp I have been thinking in parallel with everything you said.

    Lady said PMP knowledge helps to unstress but she looked very stressed. And if I heard correctly she said that Mother Terese was a perfect Life Project while I saw and heard that she (MT) was one of the biggest world frauds of all time... Find docs on YT. But Amy did a very good job nevertheless.

      The Mother Theresa scam is the most shocking thing I discovered. It was drilled into me as a child. She was the poster woman for doing good. Liitle did I know; she took bribes, questioned her faith to the point of not believing and made the dying in india last days extremely painful.

      As someone who comes from the world of technical recruiting, it made my life SO MUCH EASIER when candidates had their qualifications below their name at the top of their resume.. a LOT of jobs require those silly three letters at the end of the name. Having it at the end of your name for everything??? I agree, it's ridiculous. But definitely helpful on resumes
