Here are some great ideas from Dr. Yunus, 2006 Nobel Prize Winner.  He encourages us all to think in the best possible terms:   “Think and Act Like Job Creators” "Another area that Yunus is passionate about is creating a world without unemployment. He believes that we can create that world by encouraging the youth to think and act like job creators. He worries that today’s youth is only focused on seeking salaried jobs, rather than being able to think from an entrepreneurial perspective. This is especially a problem since the number of salaried jobs available has not kept pace with the demand in regions such as Bangladesh." “ A job is an old-fashioned idea from the twentieth century,” states Yunus. He believes that the popular idea of jobs did not exist until after the industrial revolution (with the arrival of current education system). To encourage the second generation of Grameen Bank loan-seekers to be entrepreneurial, he tells them, “How did your mother manage to create...

This is a great triumph for Australia!  Let's celebrate it! We can do this, too!   The CNN article said:  " Australia registered no new local Covid-19 cases on Saturday for the first time since June 9, marking a major milestone in the country's battle against the deadly virus. "The apparent turning point comes just months after  Victoria declared a "state of disaster"  to stem an outbreak that saw as many as 725 people in a single day test positive for the virus in the southeastern state." "The 1st national zero community transmission day since June 9," Health Minister Greg Hunt said on Twitter on Sunday." "Thank you to all of our amazing health & public health workers & above all else the Australian people." The City of Melbourne, Australia, (5 million people)  had been on lockdown for 112 days.  Australia is 25 million people.  South Dakota has 885,000 people. "South Dakota Health Officials reported 1,332 new case...

 I always like reading Arnold Schwarzenegger quotes.  “ Be hungry for success , hungry to make your mark, hungry to be seen and to be heard and to have an effect. And as you move up and become successful, make sure also to be hungry for helping others.”  – Arnold Schwarzenegger https://everydaypower.com/arnold-schwarzenegger-quotes/ He says Be Hungry to have an effect, and Be Hungry to help other people! His first quote is stunning: “Failure is not an option. Everyone has to succeed.”  – Arnold Schwarzenegger  Be hungry to help everyone succeed!  There is a way to do this!   Elections are easy to think about.  You "select" the best option or candidate. What is much faster is your Intense Desire (your Hunger) to excel, create jobs for yourself and other people AND to make sure Everyone Succeeds! In a free country like the United States, when we watch our thinking, we can succeed every day, and help others succeed.  (If you want to get te...

This is the 2nd highest number of cases South Dakota has had in one day.    https://www.argusleader.com/story/news/2020/10/31/south-dakota-reports-new-covid-19-cases-10-deaths/6086982002/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/?utm_campaign=homeAdvegas1?%22%20%5Cl%20%22countries#countries Notice that South Dakota's number is MORE than the other 9 countries combined !  China and Japan have maybe 1, 125, 000, 000. Why are all these Asian and Pacific Islands countries so low, and South Dakota numbers are so HIGH? Discipline. Masks.  Testing.  Contact Tracing.  Quarantine.  Washing of hands for 20 seconds. They do it. Maybe half of South Dakota does not do it.  And the virus spreads more, every day. Is there any reason why we can't be doing as good as New Zealand is doing? New Zealand is 4.8 million people.  South Dakota is 885,000 people.  That's about a 6 to 1 ratio. So New Zealand had 7 cases on October 31.  If we were as low as t...
