Well, I say there are lies, damned lies, and multitasking 🙂 Multitasking is worse than a lie, because it is culturally acceptable. It’s something we all THINK makes us more productive. What you’re about to experience firsthand is how multitasking is actually hindering your productivity. First, I want you to recopy the phrase “multitasking is worse than a li... »

There is no doubt that time is the most important resource that we have as human beings. Whatever we do in life needs time. All accomplishments in life are based on a wise use of time, and failure in life itself is based on the waste of time, mostly unconsciously, on unwise activities.

Someone sent me a message recently asking how he is to overcome sexual temptation. I thought of sharing my reply. (Names have been changed to protect privacy). Hello Simon, My name is John.

Jews make up less than half of one percent of the world’s population but they consistently have made up more than twenty percent of the Forbes 400 list of the world richest people. But it is not just making money that a disproportionate amount of Jews seems to excel at. Thirty percent of Nobel Prize winners in science are Jewish, and major Hollywood studios, like Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios, are also run or owned by Jews. In virtually every industry successful Jews are disproportionally represented. In a twist... »
