country numbers carbon-emissions
With a decrease in the number of pirates, there has been an increase in global warming over the same period. Therefore, global warming is caused by a lack of pirates. Even more compelling: Somalia has the highest number of Pirates AND the lowest Carbon emissions of any country. Coincidence?
home needs use
There are tons of things in your home and life that you don't use, need, or even particularly want. They just came into your life as impulsive flotsam and jetsam and never found a good exit. Whether you're aware of it or not, this clutter creates indecision and distractions...
information attention productivity
There is always more information than attention
work suffering fool
Don't suffer fools or you'll become one.
business reality simple
The manifesto of the dealmaker is simple: Reality is negotiable.
effectiveness efficiency default
Being efficient without regard to effectiveness is the default mode of the universe.
fishing goal competition
The fishing is best where the fewest go. There is just less competition for bigger goals.

If the challenge we face doesn't scare us, then it's probably not that important.
opposites excess endeavor
In excess, most endeavors and possessions take on the characteristics of their opposite.
self-esteem self-confidence insecure
Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.
inspirational enjoy-life needs
To enjoy life, you don't need fancy nonsense, but you do need to control your time and realize that most things just aren't as serious as you make them out to be.
people track done
Everything that works in sales has been done already. Just keep track of the crap that you buy, or the awesome stuff that you buy, and decide what was the trigger, and then just sell to people like you. It's really that easy - and that's what I do.
inspirational dream jobs
For all of the most important things, the timing always sucks. Waiting for a good time to quit your job? The stars will never align and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn't conspire against you, but it doesn't go out of its way to line up the pins either. Conditions are never perfect. "Someday" is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. Pro and con lists are just as bad. If it's important to you and you want to do it "eventually," just do it and correct course along the way.
perfect quitting method
The decent method you follow is better than the perfect method you quit.
