Definition of want: a desire, wish, crave, to feel a need for.
Definition of need: a requirement
Now the battle begins…want vs need.
I figured since it was Christmas and most people are out buying things their kids want and not necessarily need, I’d go ahead and talk about wants vs needs (including my own little battle within).

Post office workers
I know it’s the holidays, I know people wait until the last minute to ship things. I know people can be rude.
I see it every year, though I keep hoping that there would come a time when people would:
1) Get their things shipped out early.
2) Be decent to the people that work at the post […]
Incorrect words
I’ve been meaning to write this for awhile now but got busy.
Is it just me who can’t stand when they see incorrect words being used? Especially when doing business.
I mean, it’s one thing if it’s a private email or IM to friend or family and casual.
It’s a totally different thing when you’re posting, advertising, tweeting, […]
Obsessive Chemical Funk Smells, Perfumes, etc
News: Co workers can sue over excessive perfume in the work place.
I personally love this article (even though I’ve just now received a few nasty emails from others online for my sharing the article..oh well) by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger because it points out many things that I and many others have to deal […]
Dying to go shopping at Walmart
You might just do that…
die that is..or get trampled and injured.
This happened this morning apparently:
Worker dies at Long Island Walmart
This isn’t the first time someone has lost their life on Black Friday at Walmart.
I just don’t get it.
Ok, first off it’s Walmart for crying out loud. Why does anyone want to go there and get […]
Direct Matches Spam
How many have received the emails from weird email addresses that go something like this
“This is SoandSo, I have a question about your business, please call me back at xxx-xxx-xxxx.
Thank you
SoandSo”
I suppose I should be glad he said thank you.
But seriously, what happens with most these emails is this:
You, not realizing it’s more likely a […]
Business: doing & knowing
I have been impressed with the urgency of doing.
Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
Being willing is not enough; we must do.
~da Vinci
Seems more and more people who proclaim to be in business are being less active. They know, yet aren’t doing what they know they need to do. Are they waiting for a […]

Circumstances
People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them. ~G.B. Shaw, Mrs. Warren’s Profession, 1893

Fast food breakfast: convenient & time saving or not?
Every morning I drive by a local Dunkin Donut (it’s next to the gym) and am always dumbfounded how long the drive thru line is at 8:45 a.m.
I decided to time a vehicle to see how long they really waited in the line before getting their food.
17 mins 43 seconds, that’s how long!
Now, if you […]
