No, this is not correct despite it being a modern day matra. At least 50% of one's mood comes genetics. There's nothing one can do about that. There's just not. Almost everyone knows this. You can have one child that is happy

I'm going to not go on a limb and say that by 2050, the entire population of the world will be closer to 37 million than 370 million. Mark my words. 100% think this. That's my futurology projection.

Oh, Pomodoros is a thing? I thought a Pomodoros was one of those little dogs, I guess that is Pomoranian, but that's what my mind went to. So I thought that was some kind of cynical remark like dog years, but short Pomorian dog cycles

It is super expensive to hire someone. The costs are enormous. Let's take a hire that will make $10,000 per month, nice round number. Someone in HR has to write the job description. This takes the HR person's time, the hiring mana

Cool. Let's make a new definition, love your idea, thank you! Also, I think that this type of argument, which I've seen before, is an attempt to split hairs and and engage in obfuscation. FUD. I'm not falling for it.

Sorry, don't mean to be mean here, but this is exactly what I'm talking about. To start out, my last comment not about me . It's about "loving what you do" unthinking mantra . Which I think the whole idea is a l

Being able to synthesize information, and write, is a talent that is completely different from being a developer. The world is full of examples of fantastic developers that cannot show others what to do. I have been a coach, but not an elit

Google owns like, 90% of the market. If you are going to argue that there are other players, like Bing and ... whoever else there is, then I'm not buying that. Amazon should be broken up, even though there are tons of other people with

Same same. The people buying the stocks are the greater fools and the original owners still succeed as their stock is now trading publicly and they can sell their stocks and make a bundle. In this case, the investors do get hosed, so not a

First, hope the below doesn't sound mean, I'm just being direct. Direct without being a jerk, I hope. :P In my super strong opinion, everything, everything that you write is incorrect, except for maybe very few exceptions. I&#

Yes!!! It's so dumb that people keep saying this. I spend about $25 per month on produce and fruit per month. I must at huge platefuls of veggies every night, otherwise, all the produce will rot if I don't. Huge heaping plates.

I won't speak to this Covid period, as it is an exception. Not sure if it will go on for a long time or not, but right now I look at it as an exception. But, first thing I did a long, long time ago was read all I could about dealership

Bain is different than what he is talking about. You are an employee at a services company. It's like being a lawyer or an accountant. You have to maximize the hours you work because the money goes to Bain so they work you to death for

eh, I don't think so. I've seen lots of problems with solutions but nobody wants to buy. I've seen someone pick up tumbleweek from their backyard and open an online store and make tens of thousands in a week of opening, and m

Making money excites me. I don't really care too much about what it is, I find that as I earn more and more money, the business starts to excite me more and more. I'll sell potatoes if I make millions, I'll sell my used under

For almost 100 years, Texas A&M created MASSIVE bonfires prior to their game against archrival University of Texas. The bonfires became bigger and bigger each year. In 1999, 70 students at a time set up more than 5,000 logs. On November

I purchased a used 28' boat for $10K and used it for 5 years and sold it for $10K. Worked great. As for repairs, well, that's expensive but, while I am a horrible mechanic, I learned. Repairs were extremely inexpensive for me. I

Wow, this is the very first time an article on this topic has been written. Or, maybe I've never read anything about this topoic before. I think that this topic should be repeated over and over and over again, everywhere, all the time.

Correct. Which is why breaking apart companies that form monopolies is so important. Break up Facebook. Break up Amazon. Break up the Warner Bros Discovery merger that just happened (why was that allowed in the first place?). Monopolies are

I like them for the same exact reason that you Gen Z's will like what you like right now, but in in 50 years, but some young 18-year-old whippersnapper in 2072 is going to make fun of you, but you won't care. Get off my grass.
