In Reply To: Thank you once more. Your message is obviously not cynical, not even skeptical, as one could have expected from your nickname; on the contrary you know very well how to boost one's morale and the perspective you induce is quite optimistic. Let me also tell that the examples you highlighted were targeted exactly to my greatest asset: my teaching experience. Thanks a lot.
Message: My chosen nickname is just a plain statement of fact. My cynicism tends to be cyclical and mimics the business boom-bust-recover cycles. Shouldn't we all have learned from our past mistakes by now? Besides, it's alliterative, which I enjoy. Of course, there's always room for "Prepared Pragmatist" or "Ready Realist." Then again, I wonder if precise use of language even matters anymore, a question best viewed as rhetorical in a chat board filled with questionable perspectives. Ooops! There's that cynicism again! Do be as wildly successful as you know you can be. You'll find that the greatest limiting factor in your careers can be found staring back at you in the mirror. All the best to you.
