Revisiting Education: The Case for Privatization and Real Modernization
13 months ago
It’s been quite a long time since I’ve even touched on the subject of education and learning. In fact, the last time I did was an article I wrote here on this website in 2006. So, I figure now in 2011 would probably be a good time to write up a few new things about [...]
A Day in the Life of Scott Lee
211 months ago
While some of the following narrative is a tad fiction, I’m really wanting to write this to combine a variety of elements that add up to having a clear cut sort of representation of what a typical day in my life is like. Some people I know personally have sometimes fallen under the impression that [...]
Emergencies, Health, and Transportation Preparedness
011 months ago
Life has a way of “sneaking up” on anyone who is unprepared. This includes all areas – there is always something you have left out. Still, why not be the most prepared you can possibly be? Emergencies, health, and transit are all major, important areas to have your bases covered. But what, really, is the [...]
What Would You Do With Fame?
11 year ago
Since most people are not famous, most people also do not consider what being famous would actually entail. For a small number of people, of course, fame, whether it be in the extreme sense or the mild, is something that is a fact of life. By many people’s standards, even an individual such as myself [...]
The Importance of Discourse and Discussion
01 year ago
Throughout my experience in recent time and with the internet in general, it has become obvious that people underestimate the importance of meaningful discussion.

41 year ago
Many people tend to wonder when they are attempting such a thing in college – is taking 18 credit hours too much? Right now I am attempting such a thing for the first semester ever. Given that I have so many side projects (like this website, for example) it is a pretty big undertaking for [...]
What is the Diathesis-Stress Model?
51 year ago
Many doctors and therapists face a difficult challenge in trying to prescribe the same treatment to multiple different individuals for one particular problem. The reason for this, in part, is of course that different individuals are just that: different! To help explain the mix of factors that go into whether or not someone is susceptible [...]
Why Learning About the ‘Law of Attraction’ is a Waste of Time!
71 year ago
Just about everybody has heard of the movie, The Secret, and I have talked to countless different people I know personally who are still raving about the idea of the Law of Attraction to this day. In fact, I heard about the film way before the majority of the public had when it had just [...]
Creating a Life Transformation From the Ground Up
11 year ago
Most people are unwilling to change. The reason for the static nature of people’s own personal resolutions is that once you perform a specific behavior for long enough, it becomes routine and when it’s routine: it’s predictable. Predictability creates comfort and comfort is pretty addicting. Of course, people that are serious about creating change in [...]
Deserving
51 year ago
A thought recently came to mind as to whether or not “deserving” something made a difference as to whether or not it was given or gotten. When it all comes down to it, the whole idea of “deserving” is actually sort of a strange one in modern society and I think the entire concept of [...]
