US Debt Crisis and Impacts

The video maybe exaggerated the consequences of the debt crisis, but it's definitely something we need to think about for this country and our consumption habits in general.

The following is a fiction video of what happen if one day the dollar crashes. Well, it is fictional, I don't think the leader in our country will let this happen.  But that's still scary.

From Failure to Success Culture

We are in a culture that encourage success and high performance, no people really talks about failure. Because people tends to make the term "failure" same as "nothing good in it" or "shame". But how many "winners" out there have never once been a "loser" at certain time or how many of them have never made a mistake that brought them into all times low??

Most of the people must have experienced failure at a particular time, but it is not the end of the story. Every time you experienced a low is also a time that you can learn from it, which is the path to your future success.

But somehow, in our culture, we are made to deny our failure or to blame others for the failure. And thus we are not at all benefited by learning from those valuable lessons, and that is the worst of all.

I'm not encouraging failure, and I'm not telling you to pursuit for failure; But what I'm telling you is, life is a lesson, and you are always in learning process until you finish the course.
