We all have an internal voice — that messenger who continually talks to us and us alone. Mine tends to come around when I need to process stuff — when I’m trying to think about an appropriate pathway forward. However, it does occasionally speak up like this:
“If people would just see things my way, I’m pretty sure things would move along much more quickly. I’m a rational person, a calm person … someone who has a bunch of common sense.

By now most of us have probably heard of Pink Shirt Day. If you haven’t heard of it — or if you’ve forgotten — here’s a brief description of the event that started a nation-wide trend of wearing pink in February:
Why Wear Pink?
The idea of wearing pink originated from a 2007 story in Nova Scotia where a Grade 9 student was bullied for wearing a pink shirt one day.
That same day two students decided to take a stand. They went out, bought 50 pink shirts, and then that evening contacted most of their friends over social media.
The next day before school, these two students handed out 50 pink shirts to these friends and classmates. It was an incredibly visible way to show support for their bullied friend.

A triangle is the ONLY two dimensional polygon that cannot collapse or bend — it is surprisingly strong for its simple shape. That’s its beauty — all 3 sides work together to find strength. A square – -a shape with just one more side — doesn’t have this strength. It will easily bend or collapse.
A Triangle Easily Resists an Applied Force, but a Square Folds Like a Cheap Tent
The triangle is well known to engineers who use it ubiquitously in our world because of its elegance and surprising strength. You can’t walk down the street without seeing triangles just about everywhere.
