Want a Raise? Downsize.

You’re living in this seemingly endless recession-depression. You know that too many are living paycheck to paycheck, including myself. I am lucky enough to have a non-consumer way of living that fits perfectly in with downsizing. My wife and I have been trying to find decent jobs for a couple years now, only to have…

Set Unrealistic Goals

It sounds counter-intuitive, but it isn’t. Set goals you can’t reach? Where is the sense in that? Well, what I mean is to set those goals for yourself that other people believe are unrealistic.

Human Existence is Counting On YOU.

In the entire span of human existence, there has only been 107 billion people. In 1 A.D., there were approximately 300 million people on the planet. That means that in the era of 1AD, there were as many people on the entire globe as there is in the united states entirely. The count of people…
