6). Diversity By : Kim Olver
I know that diversity has been a big topic of conversation ever since the early 1990s when research supported the demographics that by the year 2000, 85% of the entering workforce would be female, African-American, Asian-American, Latino, or new immigrants. The fact that white males would be a minority entering the workplace was a wake up call for corporate America.

10). Discrimination Against People With Diabetes In The Workplace By : Vivian L. Brennan
Diabetes is not a visible disability, and so many employers do not understand the effects and consequence of this disease.

We all can’t be astronauts, professional athletes, dolphin trainers or test pilots -- some of us have to work for a living.

24). Living The Dream --- Yours Or Theirs? By : Kim Olver
I know people in my life who when asked how are things going, will reply, “I’m living the dream.” Can you say the same? If you could, what would it mean? As far back as Sigmund Freud, psychologists have been saying that there are two major areas in a person’s life---love and work. When you are “living the dream,” you will be able to say that you have found satisfying work and are fulfilled in the relationships you share with the important people in your life.
