A graduation ceremony is an event where the commencement speaker tells thousands of students dressed in identical caps and gowns that "individuality" is the key to success. ~Robert Orben
Your degree may serve as your certification for a future career, but it is no guarantee that you'll actually get a job. There are a lot of people these days running around after jobs, and while 10 or 20 years ago that B.A. or B.S. you're soon to hold in your hot little hands would be impressive, today there...
•Ah, Love
So, you buckled over and got your girlfriend that engagement ring she's been pestering you about since your seventh date. Of course, back then, she was more subtle - so, do you see us being together and so, do you want to get married?
Now, though, six years into the relationship, she was not all sweetness and light about her long wait to become Mrs. You. By this time, she'd picked out the ring, called you her fiance to anyone she could, and grumbled incessantly about her biological clock and...
•Cufflinks for the Wine Connoisseur
The grape harvest for 2008 is just about completed. For those of us who are wine lovers - dare we say oenophiles? - this is an exciting time of the year, for the grapes give us a hint even today of the wines they will be in the future.
America really came late to the enjoyment of wine. Catholic missionaries produced some of the first wines created in the New World, bringing to this land their traditions - from Spain, France, and Italy - of their native cultures. As the New World was colonized,...
•Freedom Comes at a High Price
Freedom comes at a high price. No matter what they may think about the current war efforts in Iraq, most Americans understand that the soldiers fighting on behalf of our country are working to maintain the tradition of standing up for our beliefs that first began back in the 1770s – and which allowed the creation of this great United States.
November 11 is the day we set aside to honor the sacrifices made by our soldiers. The day was first considered hallowed because it marked the end of major...
•Spring Into Sports in Style
The winter is still here - at least in most parts of the country - but there are all the signs of spring on the horizon. Only the most spirited or laziest of us still have our Christmas decorations up, and the aisles of stores of being crammed to bursting with candy for Valentines Day and Easter. In some of the warmer climes, buds are already on trees.
What happens after spring? Summer. And what happens in summer? Clothes become fewer, sparser, lighter, and more form-revealing. That parka that...
•Homecoming Traditions: Start His Life as a Young Man
All across the country, high school football stadiums are back in action, with parents, students, and boosters turning out to root-root-root for the home team. Whether covered with stadium blankets and drinking hot chocolate from Thermos bottles or in shorts and T-shirts and swigging back bottled water and Coca-Cola products, there is no question that high school football is an incredibly popular national pastime.
It doesn't matter if your team is on its way to the state championship or in the...
•Cufflinks for the Holiday Party
It's that time of year again - time for the company holiday party.
When it comes right down to it, such an event is a mixed bag. On one hand, it's a party - time to leave the workplace behind and have a little fun. On the other hand, it's work; no matter how you look at it, your boss and your underlings will be there, and one misstep by you will cost you - probably for the rest of your career.
Granted, you probably won't do anything terribly stupid. However, most company parties involve...
•What Would You Do If You Were Stranded on an Island?
There are a lot of shows whose plots revolve around the idea of being stranded on a desert island. Without even thinking about it, you can think of Gilligan's Island, Survivor, and Lost.
Now, I don't really get any of those shows. Gilligan's Island, despite having sparked the age-old dilemma of Ginger versus Mary Ann, was ridiculous on so many levels that whole books can be written about it. What compelled the millionaire and his wife to take a three-hour tour on a not-particularly-luxurious...
•It's Time Once Again for the Boys of October to Shine
It's time once again for the Boys of October to shine. Both the National League and the American League of Major League Baseball are working to determine champion teams that will compete beginning October 22 in the World Series.
For some baseball fans, the season may be as good as finished. If your team had a season skirting the toilet bowl, you may be just as happy to move on to football or hockey - or heck, another big sport which is just beginning its competitive season: figure skating. If...
•Accessorize With a Pair of Understated But Elegant Cuff Links
One of the biggest trends right now for the savvy businessman - and you can decide for yourself whether it's just a trend or the New Order - is personal branding. You know the spiel...You the Brand! You the Brand! You're Nike, Microsoft, New Coke!
The whole point of self-branding is letting the whole world know that you are the Master of Your Domain, the Top Dog, Da Man. In other words, in your business, you are the One Worth Watching.
While there are certainly more venues to brand oneself...
•The Dinner Party
Ah...the essential dinner party. Yes, there may be all kinds of new ways to entertain friends - from your all-white penthouse and vodka party in New York City, or over the grill with the latest health-conscious country-on-country fusion, perhaps. But when it comes right down to it, the plain truth is that the most grown-up and gracious of all entertainments comes down to the humble - or not so humble - dinner party.
Think about this: back a few decades ago, one of the chief reasons for the...
•Unite Your Ensemble With Patriotic Cufflinks
Cities and towns throughout the United States are gearing up to celebrate the nation's 232nd birthday this July 4 - hanging bunting and flags, sprucing up parks, and laying out parade routes and fireworks shows.
No matter what your opinion of the current political environment is, you have to admit that the United States is a great country. Why not show your love of country this Independence Day by adding a bit of patriotic flair to your summer wardrobe?
You can go the easy route - i.e., add...
•Show Your True Colors - Wearing Your Politics on Your Sleeve
The 2008 elections are finally getting down to the wire, and delegates from all 50 states - or 57, if you're voting for Obama! - are all ready to head to their respective conventions.
Politics is something we hold dear in America. Whether we're hoping for a red state or a blue state, or cherishing fondness for elephants or donkeys, politics has become one of out favorite spectator sports. We even have T-shirts and bumper stickers bearing slogans for our hopefuls.
And maybe that's where it...
•Cufflinks For Your Next Big Wedding Event
Summer is here, and with this season you can expect to see a slew of summer weddings. Although most American workplaces don't slow down for summer, the idea of "summer vacation" is so entrenched in our psyches from the earliest school days that many brides automatically incline toward the warmest months of the year when planning their weddings.
If you've got a lot of wedding invitations propped up on your fireplace mantel or stuffed in a kitchen drawer, it's time to think about what you're...
