How About This Instead of SOPA? My Proposal for Legislation to Proactively Combat Piracy While Encouraging an Open and Innovative Internet at FISTFULAYEN January 29, 2012 at 11:38AM - Adam Kazwell

while debt can be a problem, the way our politicians and pundits think about debt is all wrong, and exaggerates the problem’s size. Deficit-worriers portray a future in which we’re impoverished by the need to pay back money we’ve been borrowing. They see America as being like a family that took out too large a mortgage, and will have a hard time making the monthly payments. This is, however, a really bad analogy in at least two ways. First, families have to pay back their debt. Governments don’t — all they need to do is ensure that debt grows more slowly than their tax base. The debt from World War II was never repaid; it just became increasingly irrelevant as the U.S. economy grew, and with it the income subject to taxation. Second — and this is the point almost nobody seems to get — an over-borrowed family owes money to someone else; U.S. debt is, to a large extent, money we owe to ourselves. - Adam Kazwell

1) how can I be sure that I’ll be happy in my career? 2) how can I be sure that my relationships with my spouse and my family become an enduring source of happiness? the powerful motivator in our lives isn’t money; it’s the opportunity to learn, grow in responsibilities, contribute to others, and be recognized for achievements. Management is the most noble of professions if it’s practiced well. Doing deals doesn’t yield the deep rewards that come from building up people. a company’s strategy is determined by the types of initiatives that management invests in. If a company’s resource allocation process is not managed masterfully, what emerges from it can be very different from what management intended. I decided to spend an hour every night reading, thinking, and praying about why God put me on this earth. I was conflicted about whether I could really afford to take that time away from my studies, but I stuck with it—and ultimately figured out the purpose - Adam Kazwell
