From Your Crew: Why We Ask “How High” When You Tell Us To Jump

January 17, 2019

When bragging about their leadership skills, most of you have probably heard someone you know tell you “When I tell them to jump, they ask ‘How high?’”. You are supposed to assume that the jumpers do it to satisfy the most particular nature of the speaker’s demands. This implies that the speaker holds such power…

“Footnotes”

I try to provide amplifying information where it may be needed. Just like in your old school reports, many times I’ll do this by putting a little elevated symbol (superscript) at the end of a thought. Instead of looking at the bottom of the page for a matching number, now you can just click on the symbol and be automatically transported to the appropriate reference material. Since I no longer need numbers, I’ve replaced them with the following: “A” means you will be sent to an article on the Web confirming my remark, “B” will be a previous blog post, “C” sends you to one of my side comments, “D” means a definition, and “E” means something providing extra information. These symbols may be followed by a number if I need to refer to the reference again later.

I could also use inline notes (click on the gray-highlighted line) or traditional hyperlinks (click on the underlined words).
