Definitions and Other Elusive Things. That are not impossible to acquire. Room for Doubt and Rule of Fear. A closed mind is a sign of hidden doubt.”.

The type of people that ended up in my field tended to be pretty intelligent, by and large. And I didn’t see why. Being what I was at the time—a translator—I mulled this over a great ...8221; dur...

Of everything being merely ideational. Rather than any concrete desire to explore why. Well here’s a rough attempt. (ahem). Gender as a construct: A Post-modernist Tale. Post-modernism irritates the ev...

Definitions and Other Elusive Things. That are not impossible to acquire. This Regina Spektor song speaks rather bluntly to how I feel about the American Presidential Campaign just now:. 8216;Tis the season. The season of politicking, campaigning, debating and opinionating. Also of satirizing, mocking, and tossing one’s hands up in frustration.

Monday, September 12, 2011. I am sure that out there in the world, there are countless books on motivation. How. What drives them to touch the walls on their very short walk from the table to the bathroom? Do they really have to put every item they've handled throughout the day on the floor? My poor drawers and shelves, they look so lonely and bare! I thrive on a clean and orderly home! The kitchen could almost be my sanctuary if it weren't for the need of being cleaned THREE TIMES A DAY! I am Brandon...

Thursday, August 14, 2014. 8220;Do as I say, not as I do”. Such an innocuous phrase, “Do as I say, Not. I’ve been a parent for a few years now and it still amazes me when I see how my kids learn, not how they are taught, but how they learn. From the moment they are born they are the ultimate imitators! Basically; gestures, facial expressions, walks, habits (good and bad), attitudes (good and bad), choice of words (good and bad! If I start swearing around my kids, even if it’s not at.

Definitions and Other Elusive Things. That are not impossible to acquire. I have known of the siren story long before I became aware. But as I said, Homer and Odysseus did not enlighten me much on this score. It was only recently that I suddenly began to be lambasted by this siren metaphor from myriad angles and the strength of the thing hit me between the eyes. The use of the metaphor tends towards the following instruction:. 8220;Do what you can to fix yourself to the right course now. I will press on.

How much soggy literature do you read before you lose the temperament that aspires to the higher, harder, richer material. How much junk food can you eat before it’s all you crave? Tests include counterfeit...
