“Your sense of humor is one of the most powerful tools you have to make certain that your daily mood and emotional state support good health.”
~ Paul E. McGhee, Ph.D.
Think of a covering letter as a glass of brandy. It’s a short measure, quite potent, you’ll know very quickly if you like it or not, and it’s very easy to judge the quality. A CV is more like a glass of wine. It’s a bit longer, and while like brandy it’s basically fermented fruit juice it takes more time to grade, and probably a bit more skill.

Aristotle on the Art of Poetry (The Poetics)
Oh Aristotle if only you knew how much I want to master the literary device but it is tricky. I do not understand how, I seem to use it at ease but when someone says, use a metaphor in so and so, I have to dig wells to thine kingdom come, to find some. Have this ever happen to you? Let me know about it down below, how did you overcome the metaphor anxiety?
Banning books is just another form of bullying. It’s all about fear and an assumption of power. The key is to address the fear and deny the power
