Shame will light a fire under you better than any desire. It isn't desire that gets someone to train like an animal. It isn't desire that deadlifts 900 lbs.

It sure is. And you're outsides are the best indicator of your insides. A slovenly appearance reveals your insides to be the same. A lazy slob on the outside does the world a huge favor.

Entrepreneurship, running your own business, is not working. Punching a time card for someone else is working. If you don't: have a family love your job have a definite goal you are working towards (i.e. retirement at 35) Then why are you working? I know why I used to work in soul-less jobs.

I used to work out at a gym in downtown Dallas called Doug's Gym. Doug's Gym is the oldest gym in Dallas, probably one of the oldest in the United States. The owner, Doug Eidd, opened the gym in 1962 and he has been working there as the only employee since then. For the math challenged that's 49 continuous years in the same location. Doug has never taken a … [Read more...]

It's about two men stranded in the Alaskan wilds being stalked by a Bear. They can give up and let the Bear consume them or they can fight the Bear to the death, his or theirs.)
