I’m going to connect a couple posts from 2 great writers together about the rising and viable need for solitude in today’s information packed world. Ryan Holiday wrote a post about the need to demand and take time for yourself to have meditative isolation. Glenn recently commented on this particular post, and added [...]

According to the article, “Task, not Time: Profile of a Gen Y job”, by Tamara J. Erickson, the Gen Y workers are challenging the traditional 40-hour workweek or eight hour day and rather be compensated for what they produce, not the time they put in.

Read an interesting article from the Harvard Business Review courtesy of my college. Focusing on trends on the business horizon, international travel is expected to double, from 800 million international visits in 2008 to 1.6 billion visits in the year 2020.

I grabbed an issue with emphasis on Leadership. I then read the article “Where Will We Find Tomorrow’s Leader?”, an interview [...]

“People mirror back to us the reality of who we are”
I read this phrase from the book, The Third Jesus, by Deepak Chopra. Very similar to the golden rule, “Do not do unto others as you would expect they should do unto you”. So when you sit down face to face with reality, [...]

I frequently visit the website and blog of Steve Pavlina, and rediscovered an older post of something I found interesting. The blog post titled 30 Days to Success explains a great way to form new habits. Perform your new habit for 30 days straight, and then decide whether you would like to continue [...]

A few weeks ago, I read an interesting post by Joseph Kelly on the phrase; “We are our Experiences”. Joseph’s post definitely made me search for the true meaning on that phrase. As Joseph recognized and stated, people often accept things the way they are, or make excuses for things that happen [...]
