    How ingenuity gets you a Porsche

    MINDSET 
    @Darkside, that's fair. It terms of our goals, it definitely wouldn't have been the best course of action for 2 years. The end goal no matter who you are is "happiness" (ours happens to be freedom through money), and the kid has shown he has no problem working for that. I think in that...

    Wal-Mart spends Millions to fight $7k fine

    OFF-TOPIC 
    What do I expect to happen? Nothing to the cop. The cop had no incentive to stop. So, by stopping he obviously wanted to help, and it's a case of bad luck instead of malicious intent. Certainly the cop would have done the best he could have, no? You cannot ever know for sure, but if you...

    How ingenuity gets you a Porsche

    MINDSET 
    "make it" doesn't have to represent an abundance of money. This kid wanted something, he took action, and kept doing it until he got it. Perhaps he won't get rich, but he has shown he does something most never will, and that is taking action. "Making it" doesn't always have to be thought of...

    I saw this on a website (reddit)and thought it'd fit in perfectly here: (talking about helping to change a tire) http://i.imgur.com/Lu96y.png haha

    Wal-Mart spends Millions to fight $7k fine

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This is pointless, I'm done. If you're going to outright just tell me nothing I say is based on fact, then what's the point? The fact that you are so assured that the government only does what's best for "everyone" is scary.

    bateati, are you for real man? Do you honestly believe that just because something is a law, it needs to be held in some sort of high regard? And differing opinions are "caveman comments"? Have you really been taught to hold everything the government does as some sort of ideal? Why should...

    Is It Because I'M BLACK.

    MINDSET 
    Very true. Writing that doesn't come from the authors point of view ( one example being fiction like you said) will remain close to "perfect grammar". The lack of formal English in blogs, and what not definitely gives it a more personal touch and the writer seems more "human". They actually...

    Is It Because I'M BLACK.

    MINDSET 
    I like this... It's one thing I've thought while working on some writing myself. I'm willing to bet the internet will have a BIG influence on how the English language (and probably other languages) is used when books\writing. The need to use perfect grammar when writing will be changed with...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Don't worry, not all of us (younger generation in America) have a sense of entitlement. It honestly disgusts me some of the things I hear people say they will sue over, or is someone elses fault something bad happened to them. Not one wants to just just "hey, I was stupid", but rather they...

    How do you push beyond your own comfort zone?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Thought I'd bump this up to see what people have recently done to push out of their comfort zone. Mine was tonight. After 3 hours of soccer practice earlier I decided to try an 8 mile run which turned out to be just shy of 10 once I checked. The goal was 8 minute miles which is nothing great...

    People who stay up later have higher IQs

    MINDSET 
    It's funny, training for a physical improvement (working out) it's the same idea of "few people are up", but it's (typically) based on waking up before everyone. On the flip side for mental improvement it seems to be an idea of "few people are up", but rather in association with staying up...

    People who stay up later have higher IQs

    MINDSET 
    Honestly, I feel studies like this are just a waste of time. It's just another attempt to find something to justify a unique behavior of someone rather than something worthwhile. We're all too scared to just be who we are, and we wait until it's justified by research. There are also...

    I am having trouble focusing!

    No "playbook" is a blessing and a curse really. It's a curse obviously because there is a chance it could end up being a waste of time. An example would be looking up information in the domain you think you can "bring" something to(some of which Mj pointed out). This definitely doesn't...

    I am having trouble focusing!

    It's hard to focus on it, because all our lives we've been given the idea of "do this, and then you get x". In school we're told if you get good grade, then you'll get into a good college. Then in college we're told if you get good grades, you'll get a good job and be "successful". Even the...

    Help me define "Value"

    It's been about 4 hours since you've posted. Give it some time man... I know for myself, I like to read something, and come back to it in like a day or so because it gives me time to really think about it. Not everyone will reply in a few hours... Honestly, I've kind of lost interest in...

    Messy room - does it mean anything?

    Ha, saw a funny bit from a comedian a while back about all these "mental disorders" like ADD, and what not: NSFW, swearing YouTube - Doug Stanhope on Presciption Drugs We try to make everyone that same, how stupid is that? Anyone who doesn't fit our ideal, obviously isn't "right". It's just...
