Terry Crews’ Section In Tribe of Mentors Struck A Nerve

Voluntary Relationships Terry Crews, in his excerpt in Tim Ferris' 'Tribe of Mentors, said something that really struck me.  He said all his relationships must be voluntary.  If his wife wanted to leave him, so be it.  Grandparents and family members suddenly don't want to call him anymore, ok.  However, he said the same thing should...

Tim Ferris’ Ten Questions In Tribe of Mentors – Dare To Try?

What is the book (or books) you've given most as a gift, and why?

Tim Ferris – Uncovering Fear Disguised As Optimism

It's exactly what Bob Proctor has been saying for over 50 years, too.  That paradigm.  That mental barrier that controls everything about us.  Right when we're getting ready to make that life-altering decision we say, "ahhhhh, I can go next year.  I'm happy with this car now.  Oh, I can save my money instead.  I...

Gelatin – Is It Good or Bad? America Takes The Affirmative & Thailand Takes The Negative

About a year ago, I was engagement in one of those idle-gossip-conversations at work that involved a teacher spewing rhetoric about factories in Thailand.  At the time I was eating candy that contained Gelatin, an ingredient that's literally put into candy here and in Germany for some odd reason and the British teacher ERUPTED....
