How To Label Anything Like A Labeler In Chief

I bet you still remember that name that you were called as a kid.

Labels, Names, Nicknames, Handles, Product Names, Titles or whatever you want to call them are important. They can determine whether you are a winner or a failure.

So, it is best that you determine your own labels and don't let others do it for you because they may not be looking out for your best interest. In saying they here, I'm referring to the infamous "they" that has been blamed for everything since the beginning of time.

Nobody knows how important name calling or labeling is than President Trump. In fact, if George Bush was "The Decider" and Al Gore was "The Inventor of The Internet," then Donnie T., as probably nobody ever called him, is most definitely "The Labeler In Chief."

But this article is not about politics, even though it could be argued that politics enters into every part of our lives, so, I will move forward. I could've said that "I digress," but I would rather be known as a someone who moves forward than a digresser.

Getting back on track...

I wear athletic-fit suits, jeans, and shirts and I often wondered why someone didn't come up with the term "athletic-fit" when I was a chubby kid running around with "Husky Size" stamped prominently above my butt.

It was years later before I found out that Husky is a type of very fit, "athletic" dog. The only resemblance I had to a husky when I was a kid were my blue eyes. Now that I think about it, I would have rather been compared to a hard working, determined, athletic dog than being labeled fat "Husky."

But now I really do digress. I'm becoming more digressive by the minute.

The point is, you and you alone have to determine the labels that you apply to yourself, others, things, and everything. Labels are important. You can label events, projects, goals, and everything. If you don't do it, "they" will.
