*NBA Is An Example Everyone Is Human. NBA analysis, journalists, and insiders make mistakes. They predicted the Los Angeles Lakers play in the playoffs. LeBron James didn't play in the 2019 NBA postseason for the Lakers. James played in the last eight NBA Finals for the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers.
Moreover, the Lakers missed the playoffs for the sixth straight season. The Lakers finished the 2018-2019 season 37-45 which is the worse regular season record in a James' team. James' injuries caused him to miss the most regular season games including the last five weeks with a groin injury in his career.

*Today's music is garbage. Today's youth must find time to listen 1990s music and 1980s music. They can listen to 1960s music. Today's contemporary music station plays music in the 1990s such as Alanis Morissette, Mariah Carey, No Doubt, Nirvana, Backstreet Boys, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. There are fewer legitimate music artists today compared to the past.
I listened to an adult contemporary music station one day. I was angry listening to a mix of crap songs. I changed stations to all 1980s. I relaxed. Moreover, light music radio stations play mostly 1980s-2000s music.

That's the disappointing stuff for me. That's stuff you don't see [that] should get rewarded ... but it's a harsh league, and it's a hard trophy to win. So, my disappointment's there."
*Windows 7 Support Ends. January 14, 2020 is the last day Microsoft supports Windows 7.
*The Pursuit Of Happyness Quotes. Two quotes from the movie starring Will Smith below:
It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence and the part about our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I remember thinking how did he know to put the pursuit part in there? That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue and maybe we can actually never have it. No matter what. How did he know that?
Thomas Jefferson mentions happiness a couple times in the Declaration of Independence. It may seem like a strange word to be in that document, but he was sort of . . . he was an artist. He thought that English is the disturbers of our harmony, and I remember standing there that day thinking about the disturbers of mine. Questions I had whether all this was good. Whether I had make it.

We still have these problems given how we learn human relations as time goes by. These problems exist today. These problems existed yesterday. These problems existed in our parent's generation and grandparent's generations. These problems existed decades ago. There is little change for better and for worse.
*Edited Resumes Submitted. I fail to understand why job staffing agencies submit edited resumes removing all contact information to their clients. The contact information includes web links such as LinkedIn, personal webpages, and online portfolios. Job candidates want the hiring manager to see who we are beyond the resume. Job candidates being interviewed must submit a complete resume to all interviewers. Communicate to the interviewers the complete you.
*New Parents. One common goal is don't repeat the mistakes from their parents when they raised the couple. Noble. New parents must remember to take care of themselves. Be aware there are new mistakes. Solve them. Learn from them. Honestly speaking, I'm not a parent. I'm not parental worthy. I have seen and I have heard new parents fail to get along after making vows to be better parents.
The worse parents in modern history is depicted from the documentary Abducted In Plain Sight. A neighbor slept with one of their daughters for five years including two abductions. The neighbor committed suicide before going to prison on a related, yet unrelated crime. Reference links: IMDB, Wikipedia, Oxygen, and YouTube Trailer.
