Here’s a Novel Idea: Train Your Employees Properly

If you’re a manager or own a business, put in the effort to train your employees properly. Why is it that Americans have a lackadaisical attitude towards training, compared to the efficiency of the Germans or the mindfulness of the Japanese?

Cultural differences play a huge part. However, that doesn’t mean we should accept lower standards. Continue reading Here’s a Novel Idea: Train Your Employees Properly

Communism Now Most Popular Diet Among Millennials

According to a recent poll, communism is now the most popular diet among millennials and they can’t stop raving about the wonders of this latest diet trend.

Growing tired of the endless choices at the grocery store and meal prepping, millennials turn to communism and praise how “you’ll gradually depend less on food and focus on working hard for the people.”

“Communism is the easiest diet out there,” said Michael Faber, 22. “You don’t need to exercise or count calories and all you have to do is drink lots of water and eat once a day. Eventually, you’ll get used to the hunger pains and reduce your meal intake to once a week.”

“It’s simple,” said Katie Brown, 25, “just wait in long lines until you’re thinking about food but don’t actually eat anything. It helped me lose over a hundred pounds in two weeks!”

“This is the only diet that can keep the pounds off and I’ve tried keto, the South Beach Diet, and Weight Watchers but nothing was permanently effective like communism,” she added, clutching her stomach.

When asked about the downsides of the communism diet and the horrible results of starvation from others who tried it, she just shrugged and said, “Real communism has never been tried but when done right it works.”

Valencia College experiences a shortage of available parking spots and right now it costs nothing to park. Professor Chambless proposed a plan that would help solve this problem. Continue reading How to Solve Valencia College’s Parking Shortage

The Babylon Bee Copywriting: How to Write Clickbait

The Babylon Bee is the funniest satire site. They’ve mastered the art of clickbait headlines and seamlessly tying together politics, current events, and Christianity.

“New Libertarian Convert Asks Ron Paul Into His Heart”

This headline is one of my favorites. It’s hilarious, relevant, and clever. Libertarians revere Ron Paul so much that to outsiders it looks as if we’re worshipping him. Most people who use social media, only feel compelled to read an article if the headline grabs their attention. First impressions are everything for clickbait.

In my previous post, I discussed the meaning of Resistance and how it causes our creative blocks. Today I’ll be discussing another chapter from The War of Art.

Resistance and Fundamentalism

“The humanist believes that humankind, as individuals, is called upon to co-create the world with God. This is why he values human life so highly.”

In this chapter, the author, Steven Pressfield defines humanists and fundamentalists and why the latter is a form of Resistance.
