Interesting People Make Interesting Choices
I’ve heard it said that all we are is the summation of the choices we’ve made. There’s a lot of truth to this. The decisions we make each day help form who we are. How do we take care of ourselves physically? What do we eat? Do we exercise and do so properly? Do we take…
People Who Do Versus People Who Judge
There are two types of people in this world: People who do (Doers) and People who judge (Judgers) Rarely is anyone both of these things. Interesting people are doers. They get things done. They go for what they want in life unashamedly. The work hard, take risks and put themselves out there. This makes some…
Interesting People Never Accept Average
I’m sorry… this post is a little rough… Interesting people never wish to be thought of as “average”. Average is death… The average person in the United States watches hours of television every day. The average person never leaves the country. The average person never reads or learns a new language. They slowly get…
5 Types of Books I Read Regularly
I’ve mentioned in the past how important reading is for any interesting person. The average person in the United States stops growing intellectually after high school or college. People who want more out of life realize what amazing opportunities to learn there are out there and they keep on learning. I often get greedy with…
Taking the next step…
Often in life we don’t know what path we should take. We may know where we want to be or at least the general direction, but don’t know how or where to get started. In situations like this the best thing to do is just take a step in the direction of what you want.…
Interesting People Embrace Honesty
There is a strength to honesty. Interesting people generally realize that life is too short to have to make up lies. If you’re in a situation where you feel you have to lie then either you’re not in the right situation, or you did something wrong leading up to that situation. You shouldn’t have people…
Interesting People Keep Up With Politics
Interesting people pay more attention to politics than to celebrity gossip. They vote in elections, including their local ones. They have opinions on most political issues, but don’t shove them down everyone else’s throats on Facebook. Boring people complain about politicians, but don’t even vote. They say how crooked everyone is, but they don’t vote…
Interesting Travel: Backpacking vs. “Suitcasing”
I constantly hear people boast about how lightly they travel. The say how they never check luggage and some people will go away for weeks with just a backpack full of the bare minimum to get by. “Backpacking” or travelling around with just a backpack and no other luggage may be great for some people,…
Interesting People Don’t Have Bad Breath
One thing that I think is almost unforgivable in this day and age is having bad breath. Sure a very small segment of the population has genetic deficiencies that add to it, but for just about everyone it can be controlled with some inexpensive supplies and good habits. It is a terrible thing to be…
When in Doubt: DO IT
Almost everyone is familiar with the phrase “When in doubt, do without”. There are times that this makes sense, and times that this doesn’t, but I believe in today’s world most people are too cautious. Humans as a species are generally very cautious. Our early ancestors lived in a less sanitized world full of deadly…
