		<description><![CDATA[What is luck? Does it even exist? It depends on your definition.
Here&#8217;s mine: &#8220;luck&#8221; is a mysterious force that brings good things to people who have it. It doesn&#8217;t exist.
What does exist is chance. Chance is random coincidences.
&#8220;Lucky&#8221; people are really just people who put themselves in a position to benefit from chance.

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been said that capitalism is the worst economic system, except for all the rest.
The power and success of capitalism come from the fact that it tends to channel self-interest in ways that benefit society. A capitalist produces what people want, because that&#8217;s what people will buy. If he&#8217;s not able to produce one thing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Russell Brunson&#8217;s 100 Million Dollar Challenge, he says that the role of an entrepreneur is (among other things) to spend as much money as possible. His point is valid, but I can&#8217;t agree entirely.
The theory is that by spending money, entrepreneurs stimulate the economy because jobs are created in order to make the things [...]]]></description>

The 5 W&#8217;s are also applicable to choosing keywords and sites for AdWords keyword or site-targeted advertising.

Then to go the rest of the way, you have to first go half way, and so on, so you never quite get there. In fact, you can never get started, because before you can [...]]]></description>

However advanced our powers of empathy may become, our own opinions and perceptions remain more prominent in our consciousness than those of others.

Taking the time to find the root of a causal chain can be the difference between treating the cause and treating the symptoms.
