As one grows older, one is responsible for building one's own motivation. This is relatively easy to do. To build motivation I spend time actually day-dreaming about success. I am trying to get an emotional involvement with an exact

I politely suggest that the point of politics is to get elected or re-elected. Politicians don't try to convince others. They use talking points known to be already favored by voters. It's leaders you are thinking of. JFK, Berni

I gave up this year when I learned that I have a fatal disorder. There isn't enough time left to get rich. I don't recommend slacking off because you have plenty of time yet. Once your number comes up, it's too late.

My writing technique looks somewhat like vibe programming (that is if I understand what vibe programming is). Basically, I force myself to put down on paper the idea that is motivating me to write. It does not matter if there are major pr

When I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, they started giving me dopamine supplements (carbidopa-levodopa). Now, all of a sudden, I'm getting things done after spending most of my life vegetating lacking the motivation to do

The idea of a government agency denying services based on social media comments is strikingly evocative of China's use of social reputation scores in denying government services. In China the intent is to force conformity to governmen
