Something erroneous is occurring within our institutions and all need to understand the particulars involved. The left is not just woefully ill-equipped in practice and reason, but pitifully irresponsible for this nation and its needs as well as being criminally culpable of treasonous and subversive deeds.…

    The skill of multitasking is looked upon as a desirable trait to have, when in reality people really can't multitask effectively. Writer and literary critic William Deresiewicz presents to his freshman class at West Point that multitasking and the use of others ideas is ineffective for leaders and in fact concentration alone is what leads to a successful leadership.

Throughout Deresiewicz’s speech, he shows his audience the overwhelmingly rightness of the facts…
