Basically, you’re mind and body has the natural mechanics for renewal already in place, but since most of the work we do is mental now (we’re what’s called “knowledge workers,” in that we work with our minds and no longer our hands) it’s more difficult to ascertain what’s productive and what’s not, or when we’ve accomplished enough and it’s time to stop.

Also, as I society, I believe we’re headed for a state of mediocracy: whereas medio-crity refers to a mediocre individual, medio-cracy refers to an entire mediocre SOCIETY: a state that (under the guise of “equality”) dumbs down its population, promotes a prolonged state of infancy among its citizens, lacks the substance of meaningful ideas and CLAIMS to be a democracy when it is, in fact, under authoritarian control.

Essentially, there are 7 different styles of intelligence: 7 unique, technically distinct ways in which we all express brain power. We each have a particular combination that we come hard-wired with (just like extroversion/introversion), so once you know your own set-up, you gain a degree of self-knowledge and self-confidence that nourishes you…

…and by this, I don’t mean a “support network” (as in friends and family to keep you motivated, which is vital) but “support” in the sense of “support me for the simple fact that I’m trying…“

It’s actually my favorite (and the one I had the most fun doing), because it’s the first one I freestyled. Believe it or not, all of the radio shows I did up to that point (I think 13 up to that point) were completely scripted: I was so worried about freezing up live on air that I spent time (or wasted time) scripting out everything I was going to say.

“You’re in a unique situation of being alone: you just left your home for college,you’re trying to figure out what you want for yourself and it would be nice if you could go somewhere and get some help and support without people trying to tell you that there’s something wrong with you…”

“Now knowledge is not only power, but in this particular case, knowledge is the ability to help OTHER people get power, knowledge is the ability to attract the people into your life that you want, knowledge is the ability to create money and wealth if you want, and it’s also the way to AVOID not having certain outcomes in your life.

Knowledge is the way to avoid failure, rejection and insignificance…
