Adidas loses their trademark case, and now I am reflecting on what I lose focusing on others
A little while back, I wrote about Adidas Groups suit of Thom Browne, on the grounds that the luxury brand was infringing on their Signature Three Stripes. In that post, my thoughts were that it didn’t seem reasonable that consumers would be confused. With Adidas diehards looking specifically for the correct number of stripes and…

I’m going to start overspraying my fragrance. Let me explain
I have typically been very delicate with how I apply my fragrances. A tiny spritz on the wrist there and there. This is partially because I want to save the best smelling scents for some time to come in the future and partially because I don’t want to be offensive. I am going to stop…

Discipline as an act of self-love
