The phrase is used as a reason - to clutter your life with one more download.
The phrase is used as an incentive - to […]

I deeply understand ARROGANCE.
Being a doctor, especially a heart surgeon, helps. 
Most (if not all) doctors, and certainly all heart surgeons, believe they are fantastic, extra-ordinary, exceptional people.  The confidence (that always borders on, and often crosses the line into, arrogance) is a necessary part of being in the specialty.
Think about it for a […]

Over the years, I have been asked this question many times. It always evoked strong feelings - especially of defensiveness.

This is an opinion piece. It will be controversial. Some readers will be offended by it.

Mike Filsaime posted a great blog with an intriguing title:
Fish, Poles, Boxes, and Buttons… WTC?
In it, he shares what could well be ‘classified information’ about the mindset of the ‘make money online’ market.
