    @VicFountain To me the key starting point is to focus on others and not yourself. Through helping others, you will help yourself. Become other centered, not self centered.

    Has Trade with China helped or hurt the US?

    Which is about as good as it gets, and what is natural. The rich have far more leverage, and thus will naturally get richer at higher multiples. At least without government intervention. But as long as the poor are also getting richer, to me all is well. Income inequality is not inherently...

    Laid off will get $2,400 per month on top of 100% of wages - WTF?

    @Kak Your point is quite well made regarding companies paying over 100% tax rate. Although the 'discussion' with @JScott was fruitful too. It's rather interesting to see people wish for drastic changes that would basically make many industries almost entirely inoperable...at least in their...

    Starting from scratch (16 years old becoming independent from parents )

    EXECUTION 
    Personal trainers at most gyms are not any decent. An app to help people find personal trainers, and to help personal trainers reach out to, schedule, and bill their clients sounds great! Surprised it doesn't already exist actually.

    Enneagram Test: What are you?

    HOT! 
    @lewj24 The more balanced and developed one is, the less they adhere to any one enneagram type or are stuck to any MBTI cognitive pair. The less balanced and developed one is, the more strongly polarized one will be to a specific enneagram type and specific MBTI cognitive pair.

    Want to hear from some others who are conflicted about hating work

    You want freedom enabling and true wealth generating work then, is what it sounds like? I am mixed about passion. I think passion does go a long way, but passion alone is not very useful. I take my passions and direct them towards helping people, which makes my passions coincide with business...
