This week...I know it's hard enough to fit good advice onto a postcard...do you think you can do it in 17 syllables? The best, most-creative, most informative Haiku (5-7-5) will "win." The advice can be about anything, though, as always, specific insights are better than general platitudes!
UPDATE
Thanks to everyone who participated this week!
