Rise and Shine on May 18 (revolution and change never shows up when you want it. It shows up when you need it), May 19 (a simple request becomes a headache, while a farfetched goal is easily attained), May 20 (you’ve always been better managing other people’s money than your own. Now’s the time to profit by it), and May 22 (resist the temptation to trumpet your accomplishments. They speak loud and clearly for themselves)
Duck and Cover on May 15 (no means no. Leave it at that and move on), May 16 (dial down the intensity and take a few steps back. You’ll regain your bearings), May 17 (unearthing an inconsistency in a friend’s story doesn’t necessarily make him duplicitous. Give him a chance to explain), and May 21 (beggars can’t be choosers when the pickings are slim. Put a good face on it)
