“"My #1 guiding principle for a successful life (learned from J Brad Britton): "Do the right thing; not the easy thing." Everyday, you are constantly faced with choices to do either the right thing (any activity that moves you closer to where and who you want to be) or the easy thing (anything else). In every moment of choice, choose to do the right thing over the easy thing, and your becoming successful is inevitable.” WantMomentsMovingChoicesEasyPrinciplesSuccessfulBecomingGratitudeActivityEverydayInevitableRight ThingBradSuccessful LifeEasy ThingsBecoming SuccessfulGuiding Principles Author:Hal Elrod

“It must be assumed and established as a principle, that the right of private property must be regarded as sacred. Wherefore, the law ought to favor this right and, so far as it can, see that the largest possible number among the masses of the population prefer to own property.... But if the productive activity of the multitude can be stimulated by the hope of acquiring some property... , it will gradually come to pass that, with the difference between extreme wealth and extreme penury removed, one class will become the neighbor to the other.” IfsWisdomLawDifferencesWealthNumbersClassPrinciplesOughtActivityMassSacredPropertyPopulationExtremesNeighborFavorsProductiveMultitudesPrivate Property Author:Pope Leo XIII
“One of the more popular activities was “Talk-O-Matic”. Five people at a time could write messages, and read each other's messages, on the same screen. Today, Internet chat rooms work on the same principle. One of the remarkable new features of this page was that you could log in with an invented name, and pretend you were anyone you wanted - any name, any age, any gender. One favorite trick was to log in using the name of someone else already logged into the page, simply to confuse everyone else.” PeopleWritingAgeTodayWantedNamesRoomsPrinciplesFiveInternetActivityMessagesPagesGenderScreensTricksFeaturesRemarkable Author:Guy Consolmagno
