5 New Ways of Looking at the World

5 New Ways to Think About Life:

1. You are a slave to Technology, Shifting World Powers, and Globalization; either beat them or join them.
2. You can get anywhere in 24 hours and $2000 so if you don’t like your current view, change it.
3. Opps, we’re running out of fish, farm land, and fresh water. Buy commodities, hug a tree, and work on your rain dance.
4. P.S the Cold war never ended. Nukes out populate sheep in some countries.
5. Bigger is not better, Greed is not good, and Hand Outs don’t actually Help.

5 New Ways to Think About Education:

1. Your i-phone can do your math homework, who needs a calculator?
2. Want to learn Chinese? The violin? Tai Chi? Wikipedia and Youtube are free, unlike Harvard.
3. By the time you get a degree your chosen profession will be outsourced and if all goes well you will pay off your student loans before retirement.
4. Due to budget cuts your textbook still thinks Pluto is a planet, the USSR is going to blow up the world, and Evolution is only a theory (some in academia are now saying we came from aliens).
5. Employment Studies should be a college major, as should Terrorist Tactics.

5 New Ways to Think About Your Finances:

1. Your bank might go BANKrupt tomorrow,
2. According to the Fed it’s easier to print a dollar than to make one
3. Your kids will have to look up the words “Social Security” in the dictionary
4. When banking, the only 7 digits you’ll probably ever see are zeros in front of your savings account interest rate. Like this: .00000003%
5. Being Rich has nothing to do with money

1. It's guaranteed that someone in India can do your job twice as well for one fifth the price.

2. Your wage, life savings, and 401K are probably looking like an upside down parabola.

3. Entrepreneur, Adventurer, and Vagabond are now job titles.

4. Your boss most likely does NOT live in the same, city, state, or country as you.

5. If you’d traded a few beanie babies for Apple stock back in the 90’s you probably don’t have one.
