Your Ultimate Goal: How You Can Find Job Security
By harrisonbarnes | Dated: 06-08-2026

Competitiveness in an industry is also a harbinger of increasing insecurity in jobs, as there is constant push-and-pull with regards to resources.

Ambivalence at the Top: What the New York Senate Race Teaches Us About the Lateral Process
By Harrison Barnes

I heard somewhere that it takes more energy for a boxer to throw a punch that misses its mark than to land a punch. That fact (I'm not sure whether it's true) always stuck with me. If you are going to make the attempt to win a fight-flailing around is far more of an energy suck than hitting your mark. A good boxer commits to hitting the mark.
