Creatures of Habit

January 29, 2009

The curse of human emotions and interactions makes solutions so much easier for people only peripherally involved in a situation. The funny thing is that when you are not deeply involved and you don’t know underlying facts and history that has created the current circumstances, sometimes your solution can actually be a very valid one, [...]

Business School

January 28, 2009

I  was reading Robert Kiyosaki’s book “The Business School for People Who Like Helping People” in which he talks about the tremendous learning opportunity in having your own business. Specifically he writes about having a network marketing business and how that can teach you to be a successful sales person. In order to be a [...]

Binaural Beat Technology

January 27, 2009

I want to talk about binaural beat technology. I feel it is very important that anytime you are being exposed to new ideas, you need to understand how and why they work. This helps you to accept the concept and that enables you to allow it to work more effectively.
Science has advanced to the point [...]

This theory was first brought to my attention when I was doing research on religions and the origins of religion.

Acceptance and Tolerance

January 24, 2009

Acceptance and tolerance are not the same thing. An issue with today’s society is that many people think that tolerance is good enough. It’s not.

Alien Hand

January 23, 2009

How many times have you been driving somewhere and suddenly you realize that you have arrived, yet you can’t recall passing familiar landmarks or, to be honest, you don’t remember anything of the journey?

Reclaiming Liberal

January 22, 2009

I am reclaiming “liberal” for public use. Liberal is not a dirty word, although some groups would have you think it is. Liberal has the same root word as liberty. It means freedom and generosity.

The Irrelevant Elephant

January 21, 2009
