One small serving of unhealthy food doesn’t seem to harm but many such servings over a long duration increase the odds of having a health problem manifold. One conversation that went wrong now doesn’t seem to have any direct impact on a relationship but with every such conversation, trust is eroded till it reaches a point where relationship ends.

'Is the growing skills gap a self-inflicted wound? There is no cut-and-dry answer to this question, but it is a topic that demands exploration. Open your web browser, search “skills gap” via Google, and you will find yourself lost in a sea of research emphasizing the lack of qualified candidates (50.5 million results, to be exact).
