Common Sense
A team mate does something not very smart, causing you to scream out loud, “where is your common sense? Why didn’t you let your common sense take over?” In fairness, we never explain common sense. We assume that everyone can determine the obvious. Common sense is something we all know we should possess, yet we […]

It’s Okay To Fire Your Parents
For most people, it’s unimaginable for a grown man or woman to choose to stop all contact with their parents.

Don’t Give a F…
It is human nature to care deeply.

Learn How to ”Stop”
Lets think about our natural, involuntary physiological responses. Someone pours cold water on you, and you shiver. They jump out of nowhere to scare you, and you let out a scream.

Anger – It’s Shamefully Stupid

People die. People commit crimes. Natural disasters strike. All of this is commonplace and inevitable. It happens. Everyday. To […]
