“No small art it is to sleep; it is necessary to keep awake all day for that purpose.”   —   Nietzsche

(He must’ve said this as a young man, because I can nap once, or twice, a day and still sleep at night . . . just fine.   Be well and do good, friends.  Happy Father’s Day!)   —   YUR

How Rand made US selfish?

This ought to offend someone! — YUR

Needull in a haystack

“Capitalism and altruism are incompatible….The choice is clear-cut: either a new morality of rational self-interest, with its consequences of freedom, justice, progress and man’s happiness on earth—or the primordial morality of altruism, with its consequences of slavery, brute force, stagnant terror and sacrificial furnaces.”

~Ayn Rand

You might disagree to what Ayn, one of the most controversial novelist – cum -philosopher of modern times, says but you just can’t deny the power this statement holds. Ayn Rand’s philosophy has influenced not just individuals but nations and made them successful yet selfish. In today’s eye-opening Needull, we read about a clinical psychologist’s analysis of Rand’s influence on bright and young Americans, who in turn influenced US’s policy to turn it into the ‘selfish nation’ it is today.

Only rarely in U.S. history do writers transform us to become a more caring or less caring nation. In the 1850s, Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was…

5 Steps Toward Success

I think this is worthwhile, folks. — YUR

Ipuna Black

Every single person wants to be successful. The definition of success varies amongst people. Although the final product of success will not be the same for everyone, there are steps anyone can take to get closer to success.

1. Know your end goal. Keep focused. There are a lot of distractions in this world. With the internet and social media, our time can quickly be sucked up. There is no way you can be and do everything. Decide three areas of your life to focus your energy and work on those. For example, if you want to be a published author, work on your book. You have to be consistent with your word count goals per day. If you spread your time too thin, you may not ever accomplish your primary goal.
2. Create small steps. Large goals can feel overwhelming! Break them down into smaller ones. You…

20 Ways to Show the Earth Love this Earth Day

Timely . . . and true! — YUR

So unless you have been living under a rock or are one of those crazy fools who hates the planet. (Kidding, not kidding.) Anyway, you may be aware that the planet like most of us has been under a lot of stress lately.

As is true with yourself when going through a difficult time it is important to take a break and show yourself some much-needed self-love. However, how can a planet show itself some self-love? Well if you are looking at the cause of its stress as the life sucking invaders which is the human race then I would imagine some TLC would consist of decreasing the number of invaders. Maybe through mass extinction?

Just a thought.

Any way to avoid an apocalyptic movie turned to reality and harming our precious host any further than we already have I think it is imperative that we do as much as we…

Many, many truths here! — YUR

YA BAKİ ENTEL BAKİ

We live in a world where truths are twisted and lies become the truth, people are getting dumber while phones are getting smarter.

We live in a world where food is becoming a luxury and chemicals are piled up at our grocery stores.

We live in a world where humans are cutting down and destroying the trees to write down “Save our Nature” while they are making paper of those fallen stomps.

We live in a world where animals are getting captured, hunted and slaughtered for mankind’s enjoyment instead of our need for hunger.

We live in a world where Our clouds are disappearing, chemical trails now appearing.

We live in a world where people are drinking poison as water and they do the ice bucket challenge with the pure one.

We live in a world where people are more interested of a naked body than a corpse of an…
