  In Pursuit of Excellence book review, goals, goat-free intentions, life hacking, self help | (3)

  I've spent one hell of a lot more time analyzing Homer's Iliad over the past few days than I really cared to (that's actually why there wasn't a post on Friday). I've learned about hubris and fate and the warrior code of honor and the way men and women related, and let me tell you, snore. One concept did get me to sit up and take notice, though: arete. Arete describes the realization of excellence in a person. As far as Homer was concerned, "to strive always for excellence and to surpass all others" is the ideal experience ...

  All I Really Need To Know I Learned In From The Muppets 11 things in the kitchen sink, eleven things, life hacking, lifestyle, self help, simplicity | (0)

  One thing I've come to accept over the years is that life lessons will thrust themselves upon you unheeded from the weirdest places imaginable.

Let's take a turn for the video-enhanced and submerse ourselves to this week's 11 Things: Life Lessons From The Muppets. 1.

  Every Thursday is Goat-Free Simplicity day at Living Behind the Curve. Do you remember learning how to write in school? You probably don't, since it didn't exactly happen in one day. For the first six or seven years, you're locked in mortal combat with the English language, fighting to cram more and more meaning and information into your writing. You start out seeing Jane run, then Jane starts running quickly towards a pretty blue flower, and finally Jane rushes to try to stop Dick from picking a flower, because she doesn't want to see such a beautiful thing die.

  Book Give Away: Rich Dad, Poor Dad book review, kitchen sink, personal finance, self help | (6)

  Every Tuesday is Kitchen Sink day at Living Behind the Curve. I had a brilliant idea a few weeks ago, that I needed to read more books, immediately followed up by a second brilliant idea that I could do double duty by picking books that I could review here, and that immediately created the third brilliant idea that I could then give away the books and create a feeding-frenzy-like reaction which would no doubt help rocket me forward to fame and fortune (more on that later). So, armed with my brilliance and a couple of bucks, I hit my new favorite ...

  Techniques that Guarantee Career Happiness career, kitchen sink, life hacking, lifestyle, self help | (1)

  Every Tuesday is Kitchen Sink day at Living Behind the Curve. I'm a tad bit preoccupied with my career these days, and I find myself devoting a hefty chunk of time each day to preparing myself for the changes ahead. Leaving a job that I like is hard, and starting a new job is scary. I've been fortunate enough to have a long string of positions I've been happy in. While I know that a lot of that has to do with the places I've been and the co-workers I've had, I believe that a good part of it ...
