    A comment on Conversation: What's your TED habit?

    Oct 17 2011: Stick my ipad up on my fridge and watch TEDTalks while cooking dinner for the night, with a glass of red. :)

  • A comment on Conversation: Has Gen Y in America become a generation of laziness, self entitlement, and failure of will? If so, who/ what is to blame?

    Aug 17 2011: Hello all!

    Based on the way this conversation is going, perhaps I should have re-phrased my question. Birdia, thanks for your feedback. I suppose I can only speak from personal experience, but I too just like you and your siblings, have been fortunate with a family who has supported me financially and emotionally with my "journey" through my 20's. I have never taken advantage of this and have worked really hard to support myself, and find my own path, even if it meant getting yelled at and being cut off financially. I have had my moments of laziness, self-entitlement, and blaming other people--that being said, I think that the "laziness" and "blaming" and "self-entitlement" is a front for those who are actually scared, who don't have a good support group, who are afraid of taking risks, who want to find their stride, but are struggling to figure out how to do it and get it done.

    Easy answer: just do it. But, if it were that easy, why aren't more of us doing it?

    How can we get out of this frame of mind? What can we do individually and collectively to get out of the "frustration" that is effecting not just 20-somethings, but everyone?

    (They don't call it the quarter life crisis for nothing!)

  • A comment on Talk: Ken Kamler: Medical miracle on Everest

    Mar 26 2010: This talk sounds a lot like that show on the Biography channel, "I Survived." but with a medical focus on how people who are confronted with death get a second wind to survive. If you like this talk, you should Hulu.com the show. Beware, it is gruesome, but truly, truly inspiring series about mind over matter.
