Probably the best example of running a bad business model would have to be the treasury of governments, for all they do is perpetually borrow and put a country further and further into debt. Now if you were to run a business out in the real world like that, you wouldn’t last very long and…
If one believes or takes note of the rhetoric about humanities ancient history, we’ve been around a round for about a couple of hundred thousand years, modern civilizations history as we know it has only been around for about 5,000 years, and we are at the pinnacle of technological advancement and achievement. That seems pretty…
I always like just pottering around on the internet because you always come across things and people you would normally not come across, and so it is with the case of an English psychologist David Nutt. David Nutt used to be on a board of scientist that correlated data for the British Government on different…
Welcome to the revamped website because when I first got this website started over 5 years ago, all I had was a book and a lot less knowledge and understanding than I do now. I had no blog and no posters, so as things have developed it’s been an organic process, so hence, time for…

The following is a further excerpt taken from the Sustained Success talk by Glen Mills in 2009. “I’m constantly revolutionizing whatever I do, researching, putting together different combinations, etc. I’m never satisfied and therefore I’m always hungry for new knowledge and I’m always willing to experiment and to do things” “I have certain philosophy; I’m…
I’ve continued with the Glen Mills theme because there is so much valuable information to be gleaned from his 2009 talk Sustained Success talk. “My motivation is constant, is dynamic. When I started out, I wanted to be a good coach. When I thought I had achieved that then I wanted to be the best…
