My Most Popular Articles

Here are my top three articles on Medium — I started writing for Medium back in 2018. Most of my articles get a few dozen — or maybe, in some cases, a few hundred — views, but nothing that would catapult me to celebrity writer status.

Every American Should Be a Patriotic American

True patriotism is about value and responsibility — Are you a citizen of the United States of America? Then you should love the United States of America. Period. No exceptions. Cue the objections and the protests. I can hear them all now. All the lamenting and condemnation of America’s sins (past and present). All the frustration over America’s…

Is Nationalism Bad?

Many people certainly think so — “And … he’s a nationalist!” I was having a conversation with a relative several years ago about a certain well-known political figure. We were discussing several objectionable aspects about this person’s character, and my relative then added: “And can you believe … he’s a nationalist?” Her tone was a combination…

To Disagree is Not to Harm

We must welcome disagreement in our society — We live in a time when disagreement is increasingly seen as disempowering and damaging to others. As a result, depending on the issues or the people involved, to express disagreement is often viewed as bigoted, harmful, and socially unacceptable. The phrase “depending on the issues or people involved” is crucial. …

12 Wisdom Nuggets on Leadership

Number Three — If you want to lead more, you better read more — I love wisdom sayings. I love reading quotes from ancient sages, successful leaders, and celebrated thinkers. And I absolutely adore the biblical Book of Proverbs. The truth is, I’m addicted to self-improvement and personal development. Over the last five years, I’ve read close to 500 books!

We Should All Care About Ukraine

If we can’t agree on this, we probably won’t agree on anything — Set aside your political leanings, your party or movement affiliations, your frustration with the news media, and any cynicism you may have toward your government, and tap into your basic humanity. I’m not asking you to think as a Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal, libertarian or socialist, or as…
