“If you create and market a product or service through a business that is in alignment with your personality, capitalizes on your history, incorporates your experiences, harnesses your talents, optimizes your strengths, complements your weaknesses, honors your life's purpose, and moves you towards the conquest of your own fears, there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY that anyone in this or any other universe can offer the same value that you do!” IfsWayMovingPurposeValuesUniverseTalentProductsPersonalityHonorOffersWeaknessConquestAlignmentHarnessComplement Author:Walt F.

“The necessary precondition for the birth of science as we know it is, it would seem, the diffusion through society of the belief that the universe is both rational and contingent. Such a belief is the presupposition of modern science and cannot by any conceivable argument be a product of science.

“Man stands alone in the universe, a unique product of a long, unconscious, impersonal, material process with unique understanding and potentialities. These he owes to no one but himself, and it is to himself that he is responsible. He is not the creature of uncontrollable and undeterminable forces, but is his own master.

“Everything I learn about the world, whether it's the simple arcana of how commercial products are manufactured and designed and how they reach our shelves and where the chips come from and who does the code, to more profound things like whether or not a black hole might be penetrable as a wormhole, whether or not universes might be accessible from here, whether space can be stretched and compressed to enable faster-than-light travel without violating physical law - all of those things have tremendous story potential.” WorldDoeStoriesLightMightLawUniverseBlackSimpleSpaceProductsProfoundHolesFasterCodeShelvesChipsBlack HoleWormholes Author:Jon Spaihts
“Own one idea. Complete it. Map the current model of purchase and usage. Change how it is done so at least some part of the market uses only your product.
