Great article on why “Givers in business succeed”
I really dig the giving concept – it is my way of life, and I am never taken advantage of…. even when they think they are, they’re not, because I don’t let them. That’s how giving I try to be. =) I also try to make sure that anyone I am sitting in front of feels like the most important person in the world. People have the right to feel that once while they make the job search or product pitch rounds….
But as a skeptic into debunking psuedoscience, it always bothers me when the people using mystical words don’t even understand their history or premise. These concepts are fake, but for your edification:
Karma would impact the next life.
Darma impacts *this life*.
People interchange these hokum concepts because they are meaningless…. but it’s important to know that “What goes around comes around”, or “Live by the sword, die by the sword”, is about Darma, not Karma.

“And that’s the new paradigm. The middle class has died. The American Dream never really existed. It was a marketing scam.”
LOVE that quote…. great read with some powerfully awkward and uncomfortable truths.
I always tell people- screw college unless you want the social experience. Save your money, learn a trade, or a craft – apprentice for real work skill, grind it out via mentorship (difficult to find nowadays, to be sure). By all means, pick your profession by finding a job that can’t be moved or downsized…. find a skill that cannot be disrupted or shifted. Cabinet making, hospitality, whatever…. the dream is dead, and if we keep getting young people who don’t want to work but just want to startup… we’re doomed. The people that choose real work at a younger age will be heads and shoulders above the vast majority.
