I’m a published journalist in print magazine

Glossy print magazines. It’s been a while. I’m retired. But recently I published a small book using staples. Lots of pictures. About history of our home which was once a homestead.
Now I am writing a memoir with no pictures.
I’m new at this self publishing thing. I always sent my articles to editors. I can tell you many times I was frustrated that the editors cut down or changed my writing.
I’m looking forward to publishing something truly in my own words.
My memoir will have no pictures. I’m not going to use staples. In fact I think I want it digital only.
Is Amazon self publishing the best?
Thank you in advance for your responses.

Sexual Harassment and bullying like Planck theory of light duality

Like Max Planck Noble Prize winner theory of duality of the wave/ particle properties of light. Bullying and sexual assault are different sides of the same coin of Abuse of Power.

All genders must stand in solidarity against abuse of power whatever form it takes. Bullies come in all types. Stop them all

LinkedIn is Facebook for Fakers

Pretending to be high achievers. Pretentious. They curate their pages meticulously, lots of blarney. Shop floor workers have no time for such nonsense. Yet this social media has a huge following.

ADHD trick to finish multiple choice tests quickly

The last couple of years of work my preference to absorb written information fast I used to finish checkouts in training. It was at a time of disillusionment with my job and I wanted to end my workday early as you were allowed to leave once you handed in the test. I’d always be the first out. Others would assume I was super smart. I remember sitting beside my boss. As the field supervisor he had more knowledge than me. I finished the test while he had completed only half of the checkout. The next day he commented on this and I told him my trick.

It’s a process of elimination of incorrect answers to choose the correct question. The “all of the above” choice was generally correct but I’d read the other choices to confirm. The wrong answers had errors in units of measurement or incorrect facts of the subject or other contradictory information presented by the instructor.

I was fast finishing the checkout because by scanning the answers I could guess the question. Others were spending time reading the question then reading the choice of answers. I was twice as fast as I only read the answers.

I was discharged after being taken to a mental health facility involuntarily by police. I agreed to an appointment with the facility psychiatrist when I was. released after three weeks. I want a different doctor. How do I arrange this?
I am of the belief that my appointment is obligatory under the law even if I am unable to change doctors. Is this correct? I will comply with the law.

My successful therapy at a mental health facility has not only improved my mental health profoundly but has given me insight that explains some of my unique character traits that I know now are due to my ADHD. Had I an earlier diagnosis of my ADHD I would have been able to better navigate life.

One thing that has perplexed me for a long me is my personality is significantly different than my sister although we shared the same environment in childhood. My sister and I do share a similar value system developed in childhood, but she has traits I admire but do not possess.

An example is her superior organization skills and it is evidenced in the presentation of her meticulously clean and organized home. She shares my DNA as a sibling yet her housekeeping skills are more like my best friend’s and adopted niece who  do not share her inherited genetics and grew up in different home environments. My organization skills have improved immensely with my ADHD medication. I’ve addressed clutter and disarray in my home with an ease never before experienced.

My sister and I share the same level of intelligence inherited genetically and she has applied her intelligence to achieve a level of success academically that exceeds mine. She has earned a university degree whereas I am a university drop out.

My dismal failure academically was due to my choice of study. I chose to study the Physical Sciences, an area outside my usual interests. My interests and abilities were better suited to achieve a degree in the Humanities and I believe I would have been successful had I done so.

My sister with higher academic achievements has commented on how “smart” I am though if intelligence was measured by academic achievement alone she is the “smarter” sister.

I believe my sister is impressed by my ability to converse on various subjects of my broad interests and relay facts and observations of my accumulated knowledge. She has successfully directed her skill at accumulating knowledge to focus on subjects that are related to her career and other aspects of her life she deems important, whereas I’ve spent energy and time thinking about a broad range of interests not targeted to improve life goals. She has the discipline to divert her energies to learn information specific to her goals. I have an undisciplined, less strategic ability and the knowledge I attain may or may not be applicable in improving my life skills.  I can regurgitate factoids like the Cheers character Cliff Claven but it is not necessarily a measure of my intelligence rather it is an ADHD related tendency to harbour trivia of subjects of my curiosity driven interests in memory.

I am a formidable opponent in the game of Trivia pursuit and can quickly obtain the five wedges of categories that represent my broad interests. The last wedge I need to win the game is always the orange wedge representing the sports and leisure category. My choice of the four answers I hope is correct correlate to the random chance of 25%. I have limited accumulation of knowledge in the topic as it is not of interest to me.

At a facility I enjoyed a similar game watching Jeopardy on television with other patients. The three patients who were best at guessing the Jeopardy clues were myself and two autistic patients.
