Be Wary of Intelligent People

Intelligent people are the most frightening because not only do they err as all other people do, but they can fully rationalize their error--and often at someone's expense.

Thriving In Your World

You attract and keep the people who thrive in the world you choose to create.

After You've Done It

You can let anyone tell you that you can't do it, but it won't matter after you've done it.

If There Is No Climate Crisis

Despite all of the evidence to the contrary, for a moment, let's assume that all proponents of global warming are wrong and that there is no environmental crisis. The primary skeptics of global warming contend that since there is no crisis, we should not disrupt present economic and personal practices for the sake of a false cause. My response to that is "So what if this is a false crisis?" For the first time since World War II, the world is united behind a cause that is not exclusively self-advancing for a small group of people. For the first time since WWII, we are all aware of something other than immediate gratification and comfort--we are paying attention to the planet beneath our feet and our children yet to be born. Even if there is no climate crisis, I think it crucial that we continue to believe in and act against it as if it were attacking the very future of our existence. By doing so, we are at least unified behind something concerned with the long-term improvements that all people can benefit from. Global warming is giving us reason to be more self-aware and to investigate where human kind stands against a common enemy instead of standing exclusively against itself.

The Hypocricy of Being Told Not to Tell

Keep in mind the contradiction of people telling you not to tell other people what to do.
