    Why Most People Are Idiots and Live Like They Will Never Die

    MINDSET 
    This is what I hate most about driving 30-40min to AND from school everyday, in addition to 30min to AND from work each day. About 2 hours per day spent battling a league of morons on the IL expressways! I guess it's a good thing I have some constructive/instructive audio books to listen to.

    The Illuminati & Conspiracy Theories - For Real Or B.S.?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Anyone I've ever met who truly believed in conspiracy theories was a lifelong fast-food worker and avid pot smoker. Having said that, I think that the belief in conspiracy theories is a scapegoat for an overall unwillingness to participate in society and do something meaningful with one's life...

    Taking adderall is the fastest way to fastlane

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Too many people confuse ADD with plain lack of discipline.

    Boost of confidence

    MINDSET 
    I agree. A common problem most entrepreneurs face is getting past the lack of moral support from others. Consider yourself extremely fortunate that you have such an encouraging partner. Oh, and be careful with any pre-nups :smash: :rofl:

    Help me avoid living on the streets

    MINDSET 
    I'll be blunt, but it's not to be a smart-a$$ or not put you down, so please don't be offended. Based on what you just said, it sounds like it's time to stop thinking about applying to a fast food joint and just do it already. You need money to survive, and any legal means of keeping yourself...

    Question for of you who have learn PHP & Mysql

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'm not an experienced businessman, but splitting half the share of a business to which your partner is not fully committed sounds like an awful trade. You have a decision to make which will likely weigh heavily on how conflict-free your venture will turn out. This is what I would do. This...

    F*CK DOING WHAT YOU LOVE, i'M PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL.

    HOT! 
    Get your foot off the CAPS LOCK key first :rofl: You seem very passionate and excited about this. That's definitely good! Just take it from someone who's been burned out on pure excitement before: make sure you're building it brick-by-brick and taking consistent action toward the end...

    Anyone try mass SMS/MMS (Txt Message) Advertising? Recommend?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I agree completely. I have to admit I was a bit surprised at the statistics since I find myself in the minority of the users, who would never opt-in for SMS ads. Then again, it probably has to do with having less of a "consumer mindset" that those who would choose to receive such ads on their...

    Has Anyone Ever Watched, The Secret?

    MINDSET 
    My problem with it is that there are just as many people who will watch The Secret and wrongfully assume that they can fully substitute action with expectation. They will use dreaming as their process and expect the favorable end result regardless of whether or not they put conscious effort...

    Anyone try mass SMS/MMS (Txt Message) Advertising? Recommend?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This is just my opinion, but text messages on my phone would be the LAST way I want to be delivered ads or coupons. I do not want to be alerted the very second a business sends me a coupon or ad. That's what my e-mail is for. It would get VERY annoying to get a notification each time. In...

    Website design software

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Back when I was in your shoes, I learned to write basic websites in Notepad. You need to grasp the fundamentals in order to be comfortable working in an advanced environment (like Dreamweaver for example). Learn HTML (and then XHTML, a more strict and standardized version of HTML), CSS, and...

    Has Anyone Ever Watched, The Secret?

    MINDSET 
    Actually, it's a destructive way of thinking. Unless you're talking about "thinking positively" as well as taking action. Then there's a healthy balance. The Secret sells because it takes advantage of the fact the majority of people in our society have been brainwashed into feeling entitled...

    I am now pharmaceutical-free!

    MINDSET 
    This is not to be taken as medical advice. I've been taking a couple of common prescription drugs for the past year (by way of doctor, not illegally) to "treat" ADHD and anxiety. They helped mask the symptoms, but along with them were also a list of side-effects. :nono: Now, after having...

    Has Anyone Ever Watched, The Secret?

    MINDSET 
    I have. You didn't state your opinion about it, but here's mine: I think they took one important but small part of positive thinking and blew it up into a marketer's dream. The author knows that the masses like to take the path of least resistance, and hey, there's no easier way to success...
