Time has very little to do with the speed at which we are able to create wealth. One good idea sold can make instant millions or even billions. Remember Mark Shuttleworth! Other things like making and/or selling toilet paper take a little longer. Less people have a need for Mark’s program while most people have a need to wipe their bums at least once a day. One takes great mental skill while the other is relatively simple to achieve. Both opportunities correctly worked will create all the wealth we have the ability to imagine and we don’t have to be super intelligent to make the trip.

We as humans long for secure relationships.  Many humans long for someone to who you are very special and who will never leave you or prefer another person.  How realistic are these expectations really and how do you know when you are wasting your time in a relationship?

Some people seek the answer to these questions in books that give guidelines on how to judge if someone is really serious about you.  It makes me wonder why people need books to decide about their relationship and why people cannot trust their own instincts.

Why do some people end up in committed relationships where they are loved and treated with respect while others end up being used and hurt?  Then it also happens that some people are in a good relationship, but do not realize it and interpret normal events as painful or rejecting.

I received an e-mail from a reader who was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after a recent armed robbery at his place of work.

After the incident, in which one of his colleagues got shot, he continued to work as usual. However, in the weeks after the event, he continually experienced nightmares and a general feeling of fear.

Our reader decided to visit his doctor, who diagnosed him with PTSD. He was placed on medication and booked off for two months, during which time he underwent psychotherapy.
