Favorite Word:

productivity
no stress, stress is bad, but openness is good ... share productivity paths ... the more paths to productivity the more ... imagine.

Least Favorite Word:

faith
a problem for many ... for some a solution, where they have not "seen" an alternative. I fear, the effort to "see" the alternative is not made out of an acquiescence to simplicity or just plain laziness.
