However… Its adoption never came to be. The traditional QWERTY layout still is the established standard, compatibility with existing shortcuts and the high cost in effort and time to retrain millions meant people stuck with what they knew despite evidence that…

Whether in relationships, work, or politics, these individuals refuse to accept rejection, failure or the other way. Instead, they latch on to any shred of hope, exaggerate possibilities, or invent alternate narratives that allow them to keep believing in…
