Hi All, This and the other day I have read through and collected a set of links on articles I liked to read about our profession, authored mainly by John D. Cook (http://www.johndcook.com/blog/) and I'd like to share that links with you for your Friday/weekend reading: Enjoy! "... no matter how often you want to play the role of a hero, there will always be circumstances that test the limits of your ability to be one. It’s difficult to judge when helping someone means doing something immoral, and it’s even harder to admit you are unable to solve someone’s problem — and chances are, that someone will view you as incompetent because you were unable to help them..."
