Lists and Lies
In the last few days I have come across multiple articles which claim to know what millionaires have in common. These lists are nonsense as many people do the same things and fail. Ignore them when they are posted. I will prove it. Ask yourself if lottery winners have certain traits in common and I assure you that they do.
The first thing that lottery winners have in common is that they buy lottery tickets. I don't. Oh, once in a great while I will buy one but I don't keep track of the payoff or usually know what it is. Many people share traits with the wealthy and never make it. Nicola Tesla was a brilliant scientist who created the method we use for making electricity today, it is called alternating current or AC. He met all the rules that they tell you will make you rich and still was not. Lots of people have the same traits as lottery winners and never win too.
The question is not what all winners have in common, the question is what percentage of successful people in any endeavor have that is unique to the successful. I broke a world record and was in the top ten for another. I worked hard, practiced everyday, never gave up... and a lot of other things; but, in the end, I was physically built to be able to succeed. My body shape, balance, distribution and many other things were part of what allowed me to be successful. There can only be so many world record holders, there can only be so many billionaires. Luck is always involved along with timing. Be well.

Changes to the blog
Hi, not quite sure where this blog will end tonight. I guess we just have to see what comes. The starting point is figuring out if I will kill off all the prior posts (minus the ones on Pastor Daniels as I have already promised to leave those up) or just move in a new direction.
I was on this website years ago and was talking in one of the forums and someone stated that my writing had become more "spiritual". I couldn't figure out why as I had not written about God as far as I can remember. I am not an Evangelical. I figure God will lead you to others and we just have to be ourselves. We don't save people, God does. The bible says we are to have an answer for the hope that lies within us and I do; but, you get there by yourself. Others just help when you ask them questions.
The first years of this blog were dedicated to philosophy and religion. I then got off into how the world works and the third iteration of the blog has been about the news and looking deeper. I'm pretty sure that I am going to cease writing about the news as much. Here are some last news tidbits.
Rolling Stone - Matt Taibbi - The Democratic Party Would Triangulate Its Own Mother.
Rolling Stone - Matt Taibbi - Why Are So Many Pundits Trashing the Pope?
Yahoo - Business Insider - There's one glaring flaw with Microsoft's futuristic headset that no one's talking about.
Yahoo - Reuters - JPMorgan builds up apartment-loan leader from WaMu rubble.
New York Times - Calpers’s Disclosure on Fees Brings Surprise, and Scrutiny.
Smithsonian - A Genetically Modified Sheep was Sent to a Slaughter House and Sold for Meat.
Yahoo - Cars.com - Toyota Camry Tops Ford F-150 as the Most American Made Car.
Huffington Post - What About a Jobs Program?
These were the most important articles in the last two weeks, if you understood why then you would not be foolishly fascinated by the supreme courts decision that congress actually meant to pass the Affordable Healthcare Act or say that states cannot prevent consenting adults to marry. The links I provided were to things that actually do and will continue to effect your life.
