Letters from Wharton: Micro Addition
I don't have much time this morning. This is going to be quick.
Things I learned yesterday.
-In dealing with investment decisions: the pain of an investment loss is 2.5 times greater than the exuberance that can come with an investment gain.
-People act on their investments more when they are angry, opposed to fearful.
Important points of note.
-During snack time, I ate a granola bar (called a Luna bar) that is especially made for women. They didn't have anything healthy at the table other than that bar. How can food be designed for a specific gender. I have been paranoid all day that my Adam's apple is shrinking. I freaked myself out last night because I asked someone for directions. This is not good
-Why is Steve short for Stephen? Shouldn't it be Stephe? Stephen doesn't have a "V"; therefore he should only be able to work with what he's got. I think that it is unfair to use other letters when forming a nickname. I think it is an affront to the alphabet.
Talk to you later. One more day class.
Ok, i'm going with this Nickname Theory you touched on. By your reasoning, which i totally agree with, there are certain nicknames that just shouldn't exist. Bill from William, give me a break. Bob from Robert, you've got to be kidding. And of course there is the infamous nickname associated with my first name that not only has no relation AT ALL, but it doesn't even sound right until said named is at least 40.
nicknames, i don't get it.
