Seeing The Good And Bad in All Things

Something that I notice more and more is that people in general have a tendency towards grouping things as either all good or all bad. They will say a doctor is good and a criminal is bad. Or George Washington is good and Adolf Hitler is bad. Or this nation is good and that nation is bad. Or this religion is good and that religion is bad. Or even Jesus is good and Satan is bad. It goes on and on. People have a way of simplifying things and taking the whole rather than understanding all the different underlying dynamics and circumstances.

Illi University - No BS Education

Well, I've just about had enough with how incredibly stupid people are so I feel it is my duty to have to at least attempt to do something about it. That is why I am starting an online school. This isn't your typical school either.

Making A Stand - Doing What's Right

Throughout history the majority of people have been followers rather than leaders. As a result, there are more people less likely to make a stand than those that do make a stand. Making a stand is harder than not making a stand because it requires a set of values. And having a set of values is hard because it requires work.

There's No Such Thing as Black and White

We live in an age, and I suspect this doesn't just belong to our age, where everything is fast, easy and black and white. Our current reality is one of low research and shallow thinking. Most of what we know we have been told by somebody else and they too were told by somebody else. Our small little world is built upon a black and white view of reality, that things work these ways because science says so, that there is only 1 right way to do things and that anybody else who disagrees with "democracy" is practicing an inferior form of government.

Do What You Want To Do

This may sound a little backwards and out of line, however in most cases you should do what you want to do at the time.

You should have main goals and work towards those, but of those goals there are usually lots of smaller tasks that all add up to the whole. Of these smaller tasks you should do the ones you want to do at that time and work on other ones at a later time. Maybe you're in a more creative mood, do the creative task. Maybe you're not in a creative mood, do the rote task. Maybe you're burned out. Do tasks from another goal of yours.

A Degree In Entrepreneurship

These days you hear about people going to college and getting degrees in various fields of study with the hopes of finding a good, solid job. The sad reality is that less and less of these college graduates are able to find work and it is only going to get worse. To me the answer is clear: we need more entrepreneurs and less employees.

Pretty Much Everything Is Inaccurate or a Lie

Pretty much everything around us is complete BS. It's either inaccurate or just a flat out lie. If you want to find out why there are so many problems, a good place to start would be our information. All the information we receive is totally biased and sloppy. Nothing really adds up and nobody makes sense anymore. If you really want to get to the bottom of something just go home and think by yourself in peace for a few minutes.

4 Years of College VS 4 Good Quotes

All the time I am seeing people go to college to get an "education" but most of the time it seems all they need for an education are a few good quotes that they structure their life after. I'm serious too. Why go to school for 4 years or so and learn lots of details about something when instead you could really take up a life changing process of aligning yourself with some of the world's greatest people?

Everyone Is Living In Fear

These days, and quite possibly for a long time, people are living in fear. That 4-letter word controls so many people on so many levels of life it is just sickening and sad. Without fear we would really be able to live freely but instead people follow the path of fear.

Being Happy with Less

I think one of the most important changes anyone can make in their life is to genuinely become happier with less material goods, less comfort and less things going your way. People should develop a yearning for pain and for hardships. They should seek to always be stretching themselves and relying on less and less. Their character should be their main bank where they accumulate their love and wisdom.
