Oh, to be a fly on the wall, safe from the web, yet able to see all the shenanigans taking place therein. Look! A newbie is doing a Google search! Ha-ha, so typical: how can I make money from home? Poor newbie, which of the 612 million answers will you follow? Uh-oh, that was an ad you just clicked.

Crime of Passion
Stifling a dream to pay the rent. Chasing deadlines instead of shooting for the stars. Whatever happened to the unbridled imagination of our youth? Did we not pay heed to Mr. Langston Hughes?
A Dream Deferredby Langston Hughes
What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore — And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over — like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode? |
The Miseducation
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the lyrics to The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill describe a masterpiece of meaning. She laments the speed of today's world – leaving the past far behind. She is never able to make herself to be what others want her to be. Yet, deep in her heart and mind, she knows the answers to her destiny lie within. She hears others cry for help, searching outside of themselves. But she, she comes to know the truth.

A Posteriori Revelation
If you look inside yourself, you will find all the truths that you allow yourself. Remember, no hammer ever built a house and no words ever tore one down. When you know, then you can grow. When you know that you know, you become unstoppable. By contrast, what you don't know can absolutely hurt you and, if you don't know that you don't know, you won't get anywhere!
