Ever try opening a stall door to realize someone's inside? Pretty awkward, no? And sometimes it's hard to spot feet without bending over to peer under like a psycho. Solution? Glass walls. You're welcome.

I think it might have been Plato who said something to the fact of "If the student does not surpass the master, the master has failed." I was thinking about that today. Because, I can spot all of my boss's flaws pretty easily. So, I probably won't make them when I get to be in that position. The people I manage one day will probably avoid my flaws after seeing them as well. So, you'd think we'd keep getting better and better, right? As long as we're striving for it?

I make instant, subliminal presumptions about one's character based on what they look like.

1) Buy all eco-friendly, fair-trade goods. 2) Buy everything from WalMart, but donate the difference directly to needy families within your community. *Lauren stemmed this idea in a comment a few days ago

Empathy is one of the most important life skills you can have. Before you say anything, empathize with the audience, your listener. Do they care about what you're saying? If not, feel free to keep it to yourself. If you're trying to persuade, do you understand their viewpoint? If not, you're probably not going to convince them. Empathy. They should teach this stuff at schools. Maybe get rid of Geography or something.

It's the same idea as house flipping. Smart business persons take up failing businesses for cheap. Refocus, rebrand, and sell for a profit. Could this work? What kind of businesses would be the best options for this concept? Mom and Pop shops? Small tech companies?

(continuation) The premise is that there are ten people on an island, they are a sovereign nation, and they are trying to best determine how to govern themselves. Question #5: Some want the group to go out and harvest apples one day. Some think the group should concentrate on fishing. How does the group decide what to do?

If you wanted to run for President in this country under either major party, the talking points are pretty simple. But, let's say you're running for President in Zimbabwe, where inflation is over 10,000% a month, and the unemployment rate is 80%. What kind of platform do you run on that could actually be attainable?

Because it must be amazing if people are willing to give up everything for it.

Future President, are you ready for the solution that will propel you to the top during this campaign? Look no further. Propose a total ban on farm equipment. That alone will guarantee universal employment in this country. Imagine how many people it will take to plow, plant and harvest millions of acres of American farmland. (Let's see how well we're learning here. Just try and shoot this bullet-proof plan down.)
