How to Use ChatGPT to Feel Good About Yourself

chatgpt

Have you played around with ChatGPT yet?  I started last November when I first heard about it.    Hubby is now using it practically everyday.  I am still more of a novice.

  • I have used it to help me write a few birthday poems.  All I had to do was put in a few details about my friend and then I ask for it to make up a happy birthday poem.  It’s quite brilliant and fast.
  • I have tried to use it to find travel ideas and deals.  So far, that’s not been too impressive.  There is much more room for innovation there.

My initial guess was the cheese on the burger; after all, we both had some and felt a bit off. However, while he bounced back, I didn’t. ...  read more

Maya Angelou had a timeless saying ““People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”   This is true now as it ever was.

When You are Clear on What You Want, The Universe Will Find a Way to Help

This story is not about work, but I think it can apply to many aspects of work and life.    My kids has been wanting a dog since the pandemic started.   Dogs love them and they love hanging out with all the neighborhood dogs.  We have been casually making a list of all the dog types we want.   I have even searched the web for where the puppy breeders are.  However, we haven’t gotten a dog yet. ...  read more
