I thought everyone might enjoy and benefit themselves and the environment by checking out this ‘50 ways to save the planet’ link.
The ideas are simple, easy, and if even a few people adopted these habits we could really improve the environment and live healthier.
Right back at you like I promised with another fantastic ZEN FRIDAY’S post, hot off the press and ready to get
your brain bubbling!
Today’s ‘Zen Friday’ focuses on the idea of detaching oneself from outcome, material objects and even ones thoughts. For these things are not permanent just like human beings. We are taught not to let our thoughts control & dominate us, for they are merely passing through our lives, quick to be replaced with a new belief system and interpretation of reality. The man or woman who exercises healthy thoughts yet does not take these thought’s TOO seriously is the individual who lives a life of love, happiness, understanding, and fulfillment.
Enjoy! Continue reading ‘Detach Yourself From Your Thoughts | Zen Friday’s’
Anyone who clicked this must be truly ready to sink their brain into some meat of a discussion. The title “I am dropping out of college!” is something you may be considering, once considered, or are glad you chose not to do.
My friend Ramon (19 years old) and former attendee of England’s ‘Nottingham University’ is here to today to tell 
you his reasons, motivations, and thoughts about choosing to go to college or instead creating your own life path, free of institution and curriculum.
His arguments are strong and reasonable, yet there is a fire in this man’s eyes for he knows what he wants; it is this determination that will bring him all of his life desires - COLLEGE FREE!
I met Ramon on my 6 month voyage through England and I also traveled the South of France with him via. 50cc moped. Ramon is a brilliant individual filled with grace and fury, talent and wisdom. Although I am graduating with a bachelors in Biological Sciences and continuing for another 4 years to become a Doctor Of Optometry, I completely understand Ramon’s point of view for leaving college and pursing life without the ball & chain, and without the straight jacket of exams.
Yet I do know Ramon and I will share a bright and successful future together.
2 Roads both arriving at the same point.
One is a path guided by the educational institutions & the other guided by pure creativity.
Enjoy Ramon’s short post on college life and his reasons for dropping out!

Today’s post comes from one of my best friends JunHao. He is a very outgoing, inspireing and funny individual. On more than a few occasions myself and JunHao have sat down to discuss life and its deepest mysteries. JunHao is a buddhist from Malaysia and his knowledge in the area is quite profound. I met JunHao while studying abroad at Nottingham University in England. He is planning to be a doctor and has been studying medicine for quite some time.
His post today is dedicated to discussing the social and cultural differences between the United Kingdom and Malaysia. Whether you have been to these places or not you will truly enjoy this journey into the cultural views of a traveling 20 year old with ambitions to grow!
