Unexpected Consequences?

It’s time for your Thursday Thought of the week.  I don’t know who said this, but this quote clearly illustrates the importance of being emotionally intelligent in your personal and professional life if you don’t want unexpected consequences. “Never make a permanent decision based on a temporary emotion.”  Something to think about over the weekend. […]
