In life the challenge is not so much to figure out how best to play the game; the challenge is to figure out what game you’re playing. The game of Life or the game of pretense life… Read on, I’ll explain the difference.

The worst of the 7 Habits of Highly Ineffective People

I am on a quest to catch up to the culture

I came to this country in 1985. In all of my 38 years here I watched TV on a TV set maybe 10 hours total… Probably less.

  • What energy am I talking about?
  • And most importantly, what the heck do I mean when I talk about power?

Let’s state it, so we mean the same thing. Continue reading “In a guru-disciple relationship: who has the power?”

Being part, belonging is part of the Original Design. It is part of the DNA to belong. To belong to something greater than yourself.

Family, group, society…

What is the reason of the widespread incompetence, insufficiency and abominable service companies provide?

Humans have taken it to the next level… Continue reading “The Selfish Gene explains much of why humans behave so badly”

The enemy of love is indifference. And the enemy of hate is indifference.

And what allowed for every single evil to happen in the world is indifference. Continue reading “Without hate you can’t have love. Or is it the other way?”

‘The story of our lives consists of setting and pulling up anchors. For both the time will come.‘ ~ Dr Peter Popper, psychologist

In my experience we humans are reluctant to do either: setting or pulling up anchors.
