What I know about money.
What I know about money. What I know about money I know is in small part from hearsay and in large part from experience. YEARS 1-10: All I knew about money during the early years was from hearsay, from my parents talking about it and perhaps from voices out of the radio too. I never got any. I didn’t know this until I witnessed my classmates pay for snacks at school. That’s how I knew

When you look at money, what do you see?
You’ve noticed that my posts on Thursday and Friday this week were missing, so I’m catching up on this Saturday and Sunday instead. The weekend are posting rest days for one like me, but rules are there to be broken, that’s what rules are for. Today’s post is titled… “When you look at money, what do you see?” If you’re looking to see, you’re seeing as we speak that like everything else you have a
With a fresh crisis brewing, word-users feel and and respond in ways that may include fear, anxiety, stress, confused, angry, frustrated, sad, grief, resilient, strong, determined, solidarity, or hope, to name a few. In other words, reactions to a crisis can vary greatly, to each their own, depending on the type of crisis brewing — your health, an accident, the lack of room to move, the loss of a loved one, job loss, financial, a
Together with feel, hear, smell, touch, and taste, see is part of the senses known as common, because we have them in common with the wordless animals (though many of the wordless animals have additional senses, too). Seeing is among the complex senses because of the number of factors involved. Nobody knows the difference between see, watch, and look. How can you watch and look and not see? You’re looking words as we speak, yet

Intelligence
Intelligence Comparing the word-user’s intelligence to our own is an act of delusional trance.Delusional trance because it’s got nothing to do with intelligence. If we began to be intelligent again — if we’d got rid of being smart again — then we’d not only know that intelligence is a gift from how it all began, but we’d also know that we’re not the only ones to have received it.We’d know that the energy, fire, air,

Today: About nothing but growth.
Back in ‘62, Dylan’s telephone rang. It would not stop. President Kennedy calling him up.He said, “My friend Bob, what do we need to make the country grow?”Bob said, “My friend John, Brigitte Bardot, Anita Ekberg, Sophia Loren, country’ll grow”. Though I listen to “I Shall Be Free” while I’m writing this post, it isn’t the growth I have in mind 62 years later. The times they have a-changed, but the word-user’s growth still depends
Why keep your word, when you can just as easily break it? The word-users that arrive somewhere on purpose — as opposed to nowhere on no purpose — have two things going for them. A vision and a habit of keeping their word. They may have other things going for them, too, but they certainly have the above two. VISION Vision is a dream taken seriously. When you take a dream seriously, it tells you
An outstanding thinking model knows that logic is based on the Greek logos.Had logos been translated, it would now be wording and more English word-users would know what they’re doing. What can be denied only by confirming it, is that every thought we think is a word — the word we’re about to say next (aloud or in self-talk makes no difference). An outstanding thinking model understands that thinking is wording — as opposed to
