Why Inquiring Minds Care: Health And Longevity

Why Inquiring Minds Care: It’s Health And Longevity Do you find that 95% of all Internet articles never teach you anything practical? Can you even remember the last useful strategy or schema (diagram/pattern) you implemented to improve your life? Inquiring Minds read books, articles and reports to learn, remember, and apply knowledge to improve their lives or they take-a-nap. I am a Contrarian – a skeptic who has great difficulty believing information because an Authority Figure (expert) or Ancient Book (Bible) tells me to have faith. Not-good-enough, sir.

I Dare You

I Dare You To Use the “D” Word With Someone If President Obama used the “D” word on TV – he would be impeach by the following week. I didn’t say convicted – but surely impeached. See, the House of Representatives is the Grand Jury and the Senate does the actual trial. Don’t get nervous about the economy tanking, the stock market dumping two-thousand points or losing your personal source of revenue – it will never happen. How come? It is a Conspiracy of Intelligent Folks not to use the “D”. We all know that saying so does NOT make it so.

Stop Believing, "See-is-believing", and "Talk-is-cheap!"

“Seeing Aint Believing, & Talk Aint Cheap, Yes Really” • 1. Cliches are on auto-pilot in our brain, so there is NO left-brain analysis about what they really mean. • 2.
