Gangsters To Bankers The Medici family started out in the Middle Ages in Florence as a gangster family. A couple of them were hanged for their misdeeds. Within a couple of generations later they had become the most powerful banking families in Europe. One of the best prototypical rags to riches story of wealth […]
Two Types Of Money Cycles
Plasma Sales I used to have this friend in college that was very creative with how he found ways to make money. One of the ways he found was to sell his plasma. The thing about selling plasma is you can sell it every couple of weeks. It’s not like blood where you can […]
Your Super Genius Brain
Unexpected Aquarium A couple of weeks ago I went to a very interesting aquarium that unexpectedly opened in my neighborhood. I’m not a particularly huge fan of aquariums. They’re nice to go to. I like to spend an hour or so walking around looking at the various types of fish, but they’re not something that […]

Electronics Expo A couple of weeks ago I went to this electronics expo. When I first went I didn’t really know what to expect. I think I saw an ad for it in a magazine that I was reading somewhere outside of my home. I didn’t really think too much about what it was […]

Super Genius Strippers
Free Sales Seminar I went to this free seminar near my house a couple of weeks ago. It was a seminar about closing techniques, so it kind of assumed a little bit of previous knowledge about sales. Like most free seminars, it was about two hours of basic information mixed in with promises for […]
The Myth Of History
What Really Happened? This will be a purposely confusing post. This won’t come to a specific point, rather we will be taking some common ideas and taking them apart to see just how flimsy they are. Looking at things from a different angle is very helpful, if only for the skill in doing so. You […]
Reclaim Your Natural Expression
I remember once when I was in elementary school. I think it was 4th grade. I had this HUGE crush on our teacher. One day, we did this puzzle, which I think was similar to those Sudoku puzzles that have become so popular recently. Anyway, she handed them out, and said it was a race. […]
