12 Politician Quotes That Make Donald Trump Look Pleasant

Image
There is a Presidential election in the 'greatest' country on Earth later this year. Arguably the biggest story however, nearly as contentious and interesting as the election itself, is one candidate. Donald Trump, the billionaire, real estate developer, television personality, entrepreneur…whatever you want to call him, is finally running for the Republican nomination and he’s the biggest story in the game of politics right now. There are plenty of questions being thrown around with regard to Trump’s political aspirations. Can a businessman run a government? That’s one, and while plenty of people argue a government must operate in a fundamentally different manner from a profit based business, Trump supporters argue that a man concerned with financial considerations may be what Washington needs to combat the current money-hemorrhaging problem. Another question is whether or not a politician can just say what’s on his mind. Ever since he threw hi...

14 signs that you are not drinking enough water.

here’s not much in this world more refreshing than a tall, ice-cold glass of water. I don’t think there’s anyone alive that can deny that sometimes, a simple glass of water can be more satisfying than a cup of coffee or a can of soda. Despite this, too many of us don’t drink enough water on a daily basis. By depriving ourselves of the world’s most natural resource, we are continuously damaging our bodies. If you experience any of the following, you can improve your situation by starting with a glass of H2O. 1. Your Mouth is Dry This seems pretty obvious, but the ramifications might not be so. Of course, any time you feel that sticky, nasty feeling in your mouth, you’d obviously reach for some sort of liquid. But sugary drinks are only a temporary solution to a larger problem. Drinking water lubricates the mucus membranes in your mouth and throat, which will continue to keep your mouth moist with saliva long after that first sip. 2. Your Skin is Dry Your skin is your ...

10. Samuel L. Jackson – Would Never Kiss A Man Jackson is famous for a lot of roles, including Mace Windu, Nick Fury, and Valentine. He’s been in more movies than I can name off the top of my head, and that’s saying a lot.

Chuck Norris – Anti-Gay Rights Activist advertising The king of all awesomeness as well as the reason for some of the best jokes on the planet.

Fears: A Detour on the Road to Success by Boris Vene

If you are like most people, you are often confronted with fears that hold you back - consciously or subconsciously. Although you weren’t born with them, you are under the strong influence of the environment that implanted them. You might even be tempted to think that worry and fear is the primary base from which your actions stem. Salespeople know of this powerful influence. People buy truckloads of insurance in preparation for some disaster that “might” happen. “It is better to be safe than sorry.” Do you have an extra set of keys (or two) for your house or car? Do you buy food, drinks or even pills that will help you improve your complexion or lose unwanted weight? Whether it is a fear of losing something good, or getting something bad, fear is a driving force that is always there ... New situations in life force you to confront a new set of fears. You may even comfort yourself by saying it isn’t so bad. Have you ever made a doctor’s appointment, a dentist appointment or a hairstyli...

10 Things a Real Man Does When He’s in a Relationship

Some women feel a “Real Man” doesn’t exist—that he is impossible to find. Other women do not want someone like him. On the other hand, some men think they are the very definition of a “Real Man.” Other men feel there is no such thing. One thing is true, though: Those men who think they are the very definition of a “Real Man” and those who think they are not are both very often wrong . If you want to know if you are a real man or are in a relationship with a real man, watch the actions. A real man behaves so different from the selfish frat boy types you see everywhere that you can’t fail to notice the difference. He is a gentleman—good for more than just the first few months. Importantly, a real man does things so well when he is in a relationship that you just have to love him and his style. 1. A real man loves and respects his woman for who she is. He might not love her all the time, but he loves her. Not just her body, her possessions and her status, but all of he...

“I’m Thinking...But I’m Not Growing Rich!” by Bob Doyle

“I’m Thinking...But I’m Not Growing Rich!” by Bob Doyle So you’ve read “Think and Grow Rich”, and you’ve got an intellectual understanding that you “become what you think about”. You have a list of affirmations about wealth, and you recite them every day. But you still have no money. Wealth doesn’t seem to be anywhere around. What’s the deal here? According to Napoleon Hill, you ought to be filthy stinkin’ rich, right? Well, here’s the real deal: If you’re not “Wealth Conscious”, than all this thinking, and all this affirming isn’t going to bring you wealth. Thinking, and affirming are simply actions you’re taking. But they are just PART of the sequence of creating wealth. If you skip the FIRST step, you simply can’t get anywhere. So what’s the first step? Being. To attract wealth, you first have to BE wealthy. THEN, you think wealthy thoughts, speak wealthy affirmations, and take wealthy action. “But how can I BE wealthy if I’m NOT wealthy?” you ask. Logical question, but it’s based o...

The 8 Myths About Creating Wealth by Nikola Grubi

The 8 Myths About Creating Wealth by Nikola Grubi  You have probably read or heard about various myths surrounding wealth and wealthy people, all of which hinder your quest for financial independence. Here are the most common and most destructive: Myth No. 1: How much you earn depends on how hard you work   If this were true, then the physical, blue-collar workers, who have been working hard for years, would have been the wealthiest people on earth. Of course, this isn’t true. They form most of the workforce and the vast majority of the middle-class. If you witnessed your parents coming home tired from a long day’s work in your youth, you probably learned that money wasn’t a sufficient reward for all that effort. People who work “just” for the money often have debts because they comfort themselves with whatever they can buy, beautiful things they lack when working. Myth No. 2: Being paid for something you enjoy isn’t work and you shouldn’t ask for money for doing something...
