If you won the Lottery, What Would You Do?

December 3, 2010 by Justin

Every time I buy a lottery ticket, I play this mental game of what I would do if I won!  I allow myself to fantasize for a couple of hours or a day, the few times I bought tickets.  Lotteries draw many people, but few win.  I don’t think I ever saw a rich person win.  The background of many winners is generally hard working people or people with ...

What are soft skills and why are they important?  Soft skills or lack of them can get you fired!  In school, if you miss a day or two a month or go to class late won’t materially affect your grade.  At work, if you are late or absent 3 times, you will probably be fired.  The habits you form over the years in school are important for success. ...

Cheap Dates

September 28, 2010 by Justin

I do not know about you, but I never have enough money!  I learned how to impress women without spending a lot of money.  It is easy to go out and buy a dozen roses and go to an expensive restaurant.  You have to be creative to think of places to go on a date that can impress your date and not spend a lot of money.  I am most familiar with New York ...
