February 6, 2012 by Editor
Most people want “freedom”, but given complete freedom, people become paralyzed with choice. The term, “Paradox of Choice” was coined by author Barry Schwartz. I know this from first hand experience. There are no restrictions on where I could live in the world, and the overwhelming number of choices left me with paralysis by [...]
The 12 Rules I Live By (What are yours)
February 6, 2012 by Editor
Here is a great submission by Craig Ballantyne The one thing I admire about people who have strong nutrition beliefs is their dogmatic behavior. For example, a vegetarian, under no circumstances, will ever eat meat. There is no, “well, everyone else is having a burger, so just this once, I will too.” That’s not how it [...]

A Vote for Execution By Robert Ringer A quote that ranks right up there with the best of Voltaire and Montaigne is the late Coach John McKay’s famous response when a reporter asked him, after another Tampa Bay Buccaneer loss, what he thought of his team’s execution.
