    Planking... On 2 Million...

    Totally, which makes it even more idiotic that people have died or gotten seriously hurt while planking. This idiot planks on a rail and one of his "friends" pushes him into the water: http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhYFnmVu2XsHOUKr2v There's also coneing, which is...

    Planking... On 2 Million...

    I hate this planking craze and now that I've seen someone doing it on such a beautiful car, I hate it even more. I'm only 24 but I'm already starting to feel out of touch with young people when I see these new idiotic trends like planking, owling, etc.

    Do I have to get Peoples Permission to write about Them in Ebook?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    In the United States, you can write about anyone as long as what you write is both truthful and public knowledge. You can't lie about people and you can't acquire information about them that's private.

    Equity - to give or not to give?

    I don't have any problem with sharing equity if it's with a partner who brings real value. After all, what would Steve Jobs have been originally without Wozniak who created the apple computers; they were the perfect team; Steve marketed the computers brilliantly and Wozniak built them. There...

    Equity - to give or not to give?

    Their interests aren't your interests. They want to make as much money as they possibly can. It doesn't matter to them if you make money. If they could manage to get 100% control of the company from you and pay you a salary to work for them or fire you, they would do it; that way when they...

    Equity - to give or not to give?

    Felix Dennis' method of not sharing equity isn't meant for first time entrepreneurs. Felix Dennis recognizes that for people who start out with nothing, their best bet at financing their business is to give away equity, but that doesn't mean that you should give away too much; negotiate well so...

    How Poor are YOU?

    Wow! You are 14 years old. I think you might be the youngest member here. I feel old compared to you.

    How Poor are YOU?

    Actually, there are a lot of scientific advancements like gene therapy, nanotechnology, artificial organs grown from stem cells, etc. which will probably lead to the elimination of aging, but this technology is at least 20-50 years off. If you can live that long, you might be able to enjoy the...

    How Poor are YOU?

    Yes, you'd get to keep your knowledge. That's part of the reasons why Felix Dennis says that it's a trade any self-made wealthy person who is old would take since they know that having earned wealth before they can do it again, and probably much faster the second time since they could avoid...

    I have 2 ideas, not sure which to develop.

    IDEA 
    I'd say go with the second idea. It's much cheaper and easier to build a website which you can then test to see if your concept will attract customers versus spending lots of money and time patenting something that you end up abandoning because it's not earning enough money for you.

    How Poor are YOU?

    Yes I know exactly what you mean, but I remind myself that those young people who are spending all their free time having fun are going to be in the same crappy situation 10 years from now, and they will probably have more responsibilities since most people start having kids in their thirties...

    How Poor are YOU?

    Felix Dennis makes a similar point in his book. He says that youth is the greatest treasure of all but that it's wasted on the young because they don't appreciate it and use it to advance themselves in becoming wealthy. Dennis says that he'd trade all his wealth with a person in their twenties...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Make an appointment with a psychiatrist at your hospital. They will make you take a questionaire and interview you. If they feel that you legitimately have ADHD, they will start you off on some medication. Every time it runs out you have to see your psychiatrist again to get another...

    Sorry, But MJ (or the forum) Can't Make Your Life Decisions For You!!

    GOLD! 
    Yes, that's what I was trying to get at. They want to remove the responsibility for the decision from themselves, so that if it turns out to be a bad one, they will feel like someone else is to blame: "It's so and so's fault I quit my job and started a business because he said that's what I...

    Sorry, But MJ (or the forum) Can't Make Your Life Decisions For You!!

    GOLD! 
    I see threads with those kind of questions started on a daily basis but I hadn't considered that people are sending you these questions privately as well. Personally, I think major life decisions should be made by the person taking them. That way, if things go wrong you can't blame someone...

    Taking adderall is the fastest way to fastlane

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I already knew that. However, unlike you I don't perceive the pharmaceutical industry as some great evil. Like any industry, there are some harmful products and some beneficial ones. ADHD drugs are not harmful if taken as prescribed and only to people who legitimately have ADHD or ADD...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    In children, but not so much in adults. There are two main types: the inattentive type which are typically the kids who daydream all the time and can't stay focused for long on things which they consider boring. Then, there's the hyperactive type which is the type of kid typically portrayed in...
