Do you need to have an opinion, and if so are you qualified to have an opinion? How do you develop an opinion? When flying we don't tell the pilot to "push that button." We don't do this simply because we are not experienced pilot for that specific plane. Then why do we allow ourselves to have opinions on economy, politics, how the country should r…

How much do you know before you allow yourself to develop an opinion? When one develops an opinion, one doesn't see a need to ask questions. Killing the curiosity makes one more closed minded. Ask the questions but refrain from developing opinions. Questioning helps the other party improve as well. I ask questions from the people who have the educa…

Although first world countries tend to use more technology, the unemployment rate is lower than third world countries who use less technology. My conclusion is that, in the big picture technology does not take away jobs. We often accept the technology of the past but resist the technology of the future, e.g. we can't live without our washing machin…

It is very important to use the right words when we speak, otherwise we can end up doing our best in the wrong direction. For example when we create jobs that are not productive, such as wars, fighting, legal battles and so on. There are jobs being created but move things backwards. Wrong words, wrong direction, wrong results. Normally I say I don'…

Small changes that we make in our value system now, may not look like that much to begin with, can have exponential effect in the long run.

Although the saying, "if it's not broken, why should you fix it?" can be correct often, reviewing it is not such a bad thing. Often we are OK with the poor results of our habits but question the better results of a change. Q: What do you value more, healthy food or tasty food? Do you think healthy food is expensive? Do you exercise to be healthy or…

In order to have a good life we should have our values in the right order. For me the most important thing is to be happy and have a good life in general. The chain that makes a happy life has different links to it, e.g. health, money, circle of friends, helping others, fame, power, daylight, satisfying job and so on. At different times of my life …

One becomes famous because they are liked by the public, its not always because they are correct, smart, helpful, reasonable and so on. This is why I say you can judge the value system of a society by seeing who is on top. A country becomes democratic, dictatorship, good or bad and so on because of the people not the government, after all the gover…

People have different standards, let them decide what they need help with and how. After all, try to help people the way they want to be helped not the way you want to help. Often is better to take other's request/comments at face value, not base on the previous experiences, otherwise its like eating in a dish that hasn't been cleaned up, you get t…

We teach our children stranger danger, Bad idea. Strangers are strangers until you get to know them. Liking someone does not equate to trusting them and vice versa disliking someone does not equate not trusting them. People is trust-able or not regardless of knowing/liking them or not. You can change your feeling and get to like someone eg. by gett…

It is important to know if it is discrimination, vetting, or that there has been no discrimination at all and instead it was our own perception that made this judgement. Sometimes we make wrong conclusions and try to fix a problem that doesn't exist. We then neglect to pay attention to the things that need it. This said, we can get discriminated ag…

It is not a bad idea to question any basic principle as what and why we do something time to time. After all circumstances change. And sometime we are simply living the life we were taught and the life we want. When asking a genuine question, almost any answer is good, but when we ask a question, expecting a certain answer, we can easily get offend…

When starting a relationship, it is important to be as honest as possible with yourself and the other party regarding your expectations of the relationship. Even if this is the case, over time we genuinely change our expectations. Since over years as we develop our own identity, we normally but not always, grow apart more than we grow closer to one…

Mo claims that loneliness or, having no friends, is the major cause of death, more than smoking, alcoholism, poor diet and so on. To battle loneliness, one needs friends.

There are times which we give a good connotation to a bad behaviour or alternatively, a bad connotation to a good behaviour. So when somebody makes a comment, you have to ask them, "is this a good thing or a bad thing?" Richer societies can afford more independent life, independence leads to being alone which could lead to loneliness. That is why i…

Failure is not falling down/making mistakes, failure is not getting back up afterwards. We all make mistakes, the difference is how we handle them. Once you make a mistake, first realize the extent of it, then move on and focus on solving it. Do not settle down on the mistake, since you can't undo what is done. There is good in any bad and bad in a…

First we should learn from others, then add to it. We do not need to experience someone else's experience in order to learn. You should ask first and then built on it.
