Use Adversity
Click HERE to read an intriguing article by MALCOM GLADWELL. The piece focuses on Sidney Weinberg, a poor down and out high school dropout from Brooklyn born in 1891 who rised the up the ranks of GOLDMAN SACHS. Gladwell writes at lenght about the advantages of adversity and how rejection makes people more adaptable and hungry for success. Another thought provoking great read by this now famous Canadian writer.

We Made You
Its been four years since he released a single and to be honest I don't think it was worth it. A few days ago EMINEM'S newest video "WE MADE YOU" premiered. It was good but not great. He's skill level is still top notch and the song catchy but I was hoping for a bit from a grown man. I hope the rest of RELAPSE is more mature than this single. Don't know about you but I miss the old 8 MILE deep thinking MARSHALL MATHERS. To watch the video click HERE.

I highly recommend any person walking on earth to read PSYCHO-CYBERNETICS by MAXWELL MALTZ. Although the book was published in 1960, it is timeless and even more relevant in our current doom and gloom society. MALTZ, a plastic surgeon by trade writes success and happiness being habits and how to develop them. He also writes about the trappings of depression and how to avoid and learn from failure. Buy the book and read it over and over again. My favorite section of the book was the habit of happiness section. He is correct in how take a situation and we confuse opinion and fact as one.
