Do You Take Yourself Too Seriously
Do You Take Yourself Too Seriously
(Justin Gaurav Murgai)
Guilty as charged.
This is something I am working on though. Taking advice, getting medicine…can be rough, but a neccessary action to make it to where you need to be.
Not a long read, but something that can give you a bit of pause, and make you reconsider why you are having that battle on that social network.
The 5 Top-Performing American Apparel Ads, and How They Get PR for Free
If that picture doesn’t get you to click the link… the title should.
Anyway… Free PR is good for all of us.
S.P.I.C.E – Sweet, Pretty, Intelligent, Creative, Emotionally Mature
Odd picture – I know. Just felt right.
Here is what stood out to me in this post about money… seems true in my experience.
- Nobody gives money for free. Since I was 15 I had to work very hard for money. And it’s usually pretty easy for me to lose money. Before I was 15 it was easy to make money because I would steal from my dad’s wallet. And before I was 10 I would shoplift. Until I was caught doing both. Now making every penny is hard for me.
- Never travel for money. Then you are kissing ass. If people want you, they need to show it. Not just with money. Money is important but its just a byproduct of value. Once you travel to get their money then you are a beggar with your face buried in the mud while you bow to the God of Money, a very powerful and persuasive God.
- Never trust experts. If an expert says, “this painting is worth $100 million but you can buy it now for $20 million” then they are lying. First, see “a” above. How, in all the world, is James Altucher getting an $80 million advantage over everyone else. That doesn’t happen. And second, nothing is worth anything until someone is willing to pay for it. Opportunities don’t just magically happen.
- Always look for agendas. Since everyone lies, try to probe a little more for the truth. Maybe there’s other ways to benefit from someone’s lie. Like, you can write a blog post about it.
No such thing as a free lunch.

The $100 Investment.
Is An Inner Argument Holding Back Your Productivity?
Tara Mohr’s post at The 99 Percent really nails it for me.
A lot of times, it gets difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff only because we don’t use the right tool for the job.
I am really good when, as Tara points out, I focus the right “person” on the right task.
If I don’t, I end up scared. Worried.
I have a meeting today with a prospective offer, so I think this piece came right on time for me.
Let’s hope.

How Resilient Are You? Take the Test!
How Resilient Are You? Take the Test!
This article is a personality test.
I know, the same kind of test you took when you applied for a job. Usually, they are a waste of time, and trust me, I was the king of scanning them and agreeing with whatever seemed right.
This one is different though.
It describes just how resilient you are as a person.
I say its different because I actually got a reaction out of this. I have trouble accepting things and it pinpointed just that flaw of mine.
Finding out your flaws is the first step of getting better.
Check it out.
See you Monday.
Somewhat of a longer read, this article takes an indepth look at the generations of men throughout history.
It starts off a bit abstract, but as you read it, you generally get a better idea of that is means and the pieces start to fit.
If you have a minute or fifteen, take a look.
