Rarely are things so clear cut (or funny) as this pie chart
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Humor & comedy
Perspective is an elusive thing. What’s clear to you, may be fuzzy to me. What’s obvious to me may be a huge mud puddle to you. Rarely are things so clear as this pie chart. The view from a Mountain Life Lens™ perspective can be vague, cloudy & confusing for a Carrot Life Lens™. And conversely, […]

How to get fired using Twitter
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Communication, Humor & comedy
The following post is from Mashable & goes to show how uh, dumbass some folks can be on social media, but also how the appropriate response can use humour & panache to get the point across. Point taken? This should go without saying, but we’ll say it anyway: Don’t ask for a drug dealer to […]

The ‘Middle Wife’ by an Anonymous 2nd grade teacher
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Diversity & culture, Humor & comedy
I checked this story on Snopes & turns out it’s an urban legend, however, it’s too cute nonetheless. It’s a great example of how, when your perspective is different (that of a child) things can get turned around in the most hilarious of ways. I’ve been teaching now for about fifteen years. I have two […]

If you’re a frequent reader you know the Life Lenses™ blog is all about perspective how we see things & how that view affects who we are, how we act & what we prioritize as important.

Rock Paper Dynamite
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Humor & comedy
And now for something completely different … This caught my attention, well, because it shares the name of my company. I don’t know who this guy is but he made me snort with laughter. His absolute sincerity. His complete seriousness. His total fascination with facts. If you liked that one, check out his exasperation with […]

I put the lime in the coconut … now what?
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Humor & comedy
If you know the song ‘Put the lime in the coconut’ by Harry Nilsson, then this graphic (by Mike Rilestone) is pretty darn funny. If you don’t know the song, then it will leave you scratching your head. Like perspective. Sometimes illuminating, sometimes confounding, always interesting. ~~TGIF- each Friday I rejig & re-post a blog […]

A parent’s perspective on their teen
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Communication, Humor & comedy
Okay, I know, I know, teens get a lot of flack. I have one myself (a teen that is) so I hear stories about some of the grief he goes through. And… I think this sign is hilarious. It flips the switch on perspective. And that’s always illuminating. (Thanks to my friend & colleague Roman […]

Oh Canada- this one’s for you
Posted by Lee-Anne Ragan | Filed under Diversity & culture, Humor & comedy
Even though I’m about as far away as you can get from Canada, without leaving the planet, my heart lives in Canada. Thinking about home. Thinking about how the concept of home has changed since I’ve been living in Kenya. Thinking about what others think about my home. Thinking about culture. Oh Canada, this one’s […]
