admin — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 08:01:54 +0000

Entrepreneurship has more than its fair share of challenges, but from my experience, each time I have been HEAVILY challenged, the opportunity they opened up for my personal growth have always been even more monumental! Opportunity comes to those who knock on the door There are two ways you can live your life, either you sit back [...]

When creativity hits a mental block

admin — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 10:49:50 +0000

Anybody who has created enough stuff eventually hits a mental block where the mind simply goes to mush, unable to think or more accurately, create more stuff! Why do we hit mental blocks? Although everybody hits mental blocks for different reasons, whether stressful events in their life or the lack of them, change in weather or sleeping [...]

Use the fuel of pain to power your future

admin — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 09:56:14 +0000

Aging is a powerful process, it molds and sculpts you but with that, comes the inevitable bumps and bruises you get from great struggles that you have (hopefully) overcome. Initiative and ambition Without ambition or initiative in your life, things get rather dull, hence why most people at least dip their toes into the devil’s water. Nothing [...]

Evolution of Religion

admin — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 04:44:02 +0000

For people who are so seduced by the idea of an afterlife and how static “their God” is, I present to you even more proof that the laws of evolution have / are taking effect on religion as well. I think Chairman Mao had it right when he said “Religion is an opiate of the [...]

Aging is a disease that I do not wish to acquire!

admin — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 08:15:24 +0000

I realize that the word “disease” is thrown around all to easily in this world, usually in order to give people a reason to take yet more pills and medication but I truly believe that aging is actually a disease that is acquired through lifestyle… let me explain.

Do we work to live or live to work?

admin — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 07:38:49 +0000

Interesting thought, do we work to live or live to work? I guess it depends on your definition of both life and work. What is work? Work is simply the process or undertaking to complete a task, whether it ever happens though is irrelevant. You may work for years and accomplish very little or work very little [...]

Want to become known? Become EXTREME!

admin — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 12:35:31 +0000

I am sure I am not the first to realize this but the more extreme people act, the more attention they seem to garner.

Great 3D Music Video: London Elektricy

admin — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 23:12:47 +0000

I never heard of this band or the song before but being a fan of both electronic music and 3D animation, I was very impressed by this video. What I like the most is the originality, the sync between the music and aspects within the animation and the use of a “comic filter”. I would [...]

I can’t… I shouldn’t… I’m scared… NONSENSE!

admin — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 01:28:26 +0000

Fear and doubt have no place in my heart and they shouldn’t have a voice in yours neither! Negative, self-limiting vocabulary Few things astonish me as much as the number of people “out there” who try to find every reason they can come-up with to limit the joy and challenges they can experience in their one and [...]

Traveling into the UNKNOWN

admin — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 05:11:32 +0000

I believe the only thing people should fear in life is death but second to that, would have to be traveling into the unknown. Metaphores and other illusions Why is traveling into the unknown so scary for most people? Well, imagine stepping into a river full of sharp rocks and trying to feel your way through onto [...]

Like everybody else, the financial crisis that is enveloping the world at this moment doesn’t seem all that positive of a development but the more I think about it, the more opportunity I see!

Don’t waste your FREE TIME!

admin — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 22:33:59 +0000

Most people think that free time is just that, well, it isn’t! What is free time? From the moment you are conceived, you are in a speeding car heading straight for a brick wall, this brick wall is called death and the road you are on only goes one way. As such, we do not have an [...]

Life with no arms or legs… no problem!

admin — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 11:18:35 +0000

I live by the motto that respect is earned, not given… but there are exceptions and this guy, who was born without any arms or legs is truly inspirational to me. What would you do without arms or legs? Without getting too graphic, most people have absolutely no clue, me included, regarding how they would handle themselves [...]

Seriously, do you believe in yourself? Do you have the self-confidence and desire to really push yourself outside your normal limits?

Who needs toothpaste and Listerine?

admin — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 01:47:25 +0000

Well, it has been one month now since I completely stopped using toothpaste, my oral hygiene regimen of rinsing my mouth with baking soda / salt twice a day followed by brushing my teeth with plain water twice a day seems to have actually IMPROVED things! Stumbling upon a far more effective alternative to mouthwash I use [...]

Anything is possible… ANYTHING! (updated)

Anybody who tells you that you cannot do this or that because of “blah, blah, blah” have no idea what they are talking about… NONE! If YOU want to make something happen, it’s up to you and only YOU to make it happen. Barriers to making things possible No matter your handicaps, no matter how severe they [...]

Greed: The fastest way to kill a business!

admin — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 13:48:12 +0000

From my extensive business experience, if there is any one thing that leads to a slow (sometimes quick) demise of a startup or an established company, more often than not, it can be traced to greed. The root causes of greed When you first start a company, the pricing is usually insanely competitive even to the point [...]
