Tell Your Boss to Shove It

The other day I downloaded 20 Minutes That Could Change Your Life by Earl Nightingale and even though it isn’t quite 20 minutes long, it was still the best 99 cents I’ve spent in a while.

One key observation really stands out for me. He says that only about 10% of the population are really trying to get rich. The rest are just sort of hanging in there. What this means is that the very fact that you are really putting in effort puts you above 90% of the world and that even if you come in at the bottom of the 10% who are trying, you are still doing pretty good.

On a personal note, my wife and kids are going to be gone for the next 5 days so I’m going to use this opportunity to get a lot of work done.
