Entrepreneurs have two characteristics… ignorance and courage.
... In my opinion, it is this relationship between ignorance and courage that is the essence of life itself.Speaker: Robert T. KiyosakiSource: Increasing Your Financial IQPosted: 20 Sep 2008 at 8:40 PMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -
As far as tithing goes, we continue to donate a large percentage to charitable organizations. It’s important to give. As my very religious friend says, “God does not need to receive, but humans need to give.” Also, the reason we give is because tithing is our way of paying our partner – God. God is the best business partner I’ve ever had. He asks for 10 percent and lets me keep the other 90 percent. You know what happens if you stop paying your partners? They stop working with you. That is why we tithe.

It doesn’t matter which party is elected into office. If it’s Democrats, they will probably tax and spend. If it’s Republicans, they will probably borrow and spend.

A bureaucrat’s job is to get their hands deeper in your pockets – legally – and your job is to have them take as little as possible – legally.

Many think of capitalists as pigs. And many are greedy pigs. Yet there are capitalists who do a lot of good, such as provide health care, food, transportation, energy, and communications to the world. As a capitalist who does my best to make the world a better place, my problem is with people who want to be paid for doing nothing or paid more to do less. In my opinion, a person who wants to be paid more and do less, or nothing, is also a greedy pig.

Intelligence is not about memorizing old answers and avoiding mistakes – behavior our school system defines as intelligent. True intelligence is about learning to solve problems in order to qualify to solve bigger problems. True intelligence is about the joy of learning rather than the fear of failing.

Like it or not, everyone is already playing the game of money. Rich or poor, we are all involved in the game of money. The difference is some people play harder, know the rules, and use them to their advantage more than others. Some people are more dedicated, more passionate, more committed to learning and to winning. When it comes to the game of money, most people are playing – if they know they are playing at all – not to lose rather than playing to win

I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground.
So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind:
Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely. Crowned
With lilies and with laurel they go; but I am not resigned.Lovers and thinkers, into the earth with you.
Be one with the dull, the indiscriminate dust.
A fragment of what you felt, of what you knew,
A formula, a phrase remains, — but the best is lost.The answers quick & keen, the honest look, the laughter, the love,
They are gone. They have gone to feed the roses. Elegant and curled
Is the blossom. Fragrant is the blossom. I know. But I do not approve.
More precious was the light in your eyes than all the roses in the world.Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.Speaker: Edna St. Vincent MillaySource: BabyPosted: 29 Aug 2008 at 8:10 PMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -
“Do you think words have answers?” I asked.
“It depends on your questions,” said Byrd. “But”- she turned her head to look at me over Sophie- “you should know that there are some things for which there are no answers, no matter how beautiful the words may be.”
I stared at her.
“Sometimes poetry – words – give us a small, lovely look at ourselves,” said Byrd. “And sometimes that is enough.”
There was silence.
“Sometimes,” Byrd added in a soft voice.Speaker: Patricia MacLachlanSource: BabyPosted: 29 Aug 2008 at 8:09 PMComments: None... Be the first to comment! -

Punk Capitalism isn’t about big government or big markets but about a new breed of incredibly efficient networks. This is not digital communism, this isn’t central planning. it is in fact quite the opposite: a new kind of decentralized democracy made possible by changes in technology. Piracy isn’t just another business model, it’s one of the greatest business models we have.

New youth cultures can’t be as safe as those of days gone by, because if they stay within socially acceptable limits, marketers pounce, and before long they are just another branded spectacle.

We can transmit to the world a carefully managed perception of who we are, what we think is cool, what we wear and listen to. We need the network or no one will hear us, but we retain the power. Marketers can’t sell us meaning; we have to find it in their products, and if we do, and we’re passionate about them, we’ll happily tell everyone we can. But by the same token, if a brand or an idea makes one wrong move, it can cause the entire crowd to walk away.
