How bad do you want it?

If you want it bad enough, you can do just about anything.

How BAD do you want what it is you say you want?

The boundary of accomplishment

The boundary of what you can achieve goes to where you believe you can and ends at where you believe you can’t.

Where’s your boundary?

Human Dignity

Earning money or a thing provides a sense of dignity, unlike being given money or a thing because you need it.  

How do you feel about this? 

Day Man

“Day man, fighter of the night man, master of the sun.”

Fight the darkness.  Stay positive.

Tick, Tick, Tick – Clock or Bomb?

By keeping interest rates artificially low, the federal government can keep spending (to win elections) without paying much interest.  By printing money, the government can pay for some of it – but because there are more greenbacks out there, it reduces the value of the dollar – bad news for all of us.

Low interest rates are good news for people who have money – they can borrow low and invest it for higher rates of return.  But they are bad news for people with little money who can’t get any return on their savings.  These low interest rates are making the income gap worse.

Until us Americans can vote for cutting spending – even for things we get, the bomb will continue to tick.  It’s unsustainable.  Someone is going to pay.  Lots of someones.

Happiness

“Happiness, in the Aristotelian sense of a life well-lived, must be achieved.  You cannot be entitled to be happy.  Happiness must be earned.  Only free people who can create a sense of purpose for themselves, follow their beliefs, and pursue their own truths can achieve happiness.  

Being free does not guarantee happiness.  But not being free destroys the potential to be happy.  There are many individuals who are not necessarily very successful financially but who are happy because they realize what they have, they have earned, including very valuable non-financial accomplishments.” – John Allison, CATO Institute

Our Strongest Opponents

Our external opponents are feeble compared to our internal ones – because we have given the internal ones permission to oppose us.

"Artificial Unintelligence"

The “news” and television in general dictates the national public conversation – talking about stuff that doesn’t affect 99.9% of us and hijacking our mind share thinking about dumb stuff.

I chose to use my mind for more productive things that take me toward my goals.  How about you?

Capitalism and Poverty

The fight FOR limited government, free markets, property rights, the rule of law and capitalism, and the fight AGAINST poverty are one in the same fight.

Can you see that?

Key player

The more you accomplish important tasks at work, the more important tasks you will be given to accomplish, and the more valuable you will be to your employer.

Are you the go to guy (or girl?)?
