Vulnerability is the only authentic state. Being vulnerable means being open, for wounding, but also for pleasure. Being open to the wounds of life means also being open to the bounty and beauty. Don’t mask or deny your vulnerability: it is your greatest asset. Be vulnerable: quake and shake in your boots with it. The new goodness that is coming to you, in the form of people, situations, and things can only come to you when you are vulnerable and open.

If your degree was focused upon one particular area, don’t let that stop you moving in another direction. If college hasn’t worked out for you, don’t let that put you off…. If you spot an opportunity early on and are really excited by it, throw yourself into it with everything you have got. Be ambitious. There probably won’t be another time in your life when you have such freedom of opportunity. Grasp it with both hands.

What the U.S. Can Learn From Africa’s Booming Economy
Given continued economic weakness in the U.S., it’s easy to imagine that the rest of the world remains similarly stuck. But there is one region of the world that is showing signs of economic strength in new and unexpected ways. That region is Africa.
An economic renaissance currently underway in Africa is providing hope to a billion people there and creating a sense of optimism among youth. And it contains real lessons for us to learn and absorb here at home. Long seen as at the margins of global economic activity, Africa is increasingly looking like an important key to its future.
What’s going on exactly? The short answer is that Africa is booming.
Seven out of the 10 fastest growing economies in the world are in sub-Saharan Africa. Taken as a whole, Africa’s economy would be the eighth largest in the world, greater in size than rapidly rising countries like India and Russia.
What’s important is that this economic explosion is not limited to familiar economic powerhouses such as South Africa and Nigeria, but a host of smaller countries, such as land-locked Zambia, are in on the action as well.
What’s even more important is that the African economic renaissance—unlike growth in the U.S.—is broad-based, touching all income groups.
The percentage of Africans living in extreme poverty, according to the World Bank, fell below 50 percent for the first time ever last year. Consulting firm McKinsey forecasts Africa will have a larger middle class than India starting next year.
So what’s behind Africa’s meteoric rise? There are two mega trends at work.
It’s weird that pirates would go from shore to shore looking for buried treasure when the real treasure was in the friendships they were making
I’d like 6 sandwiches please
Ok that’ll be 13 friendships and 25 acquaintances
If you think labor pains are the worst type of pain let me shoot you in the face and see if it hurts
it wouldn’t hurt because you’d be fucking dead
Well getting shot in the face is an experience open to all genders so not really sure if this applies to a “battle of the sexes” or whatever

But seriously, Brian Caraway is the biggest dick on the UFC roster right now.
Remember when he threatened to knock Ronda Rousey’s teeth down her throat? They let that slide.
Double standards like we know them from the UFC.
Caraway is the reason I didnt want Tate to win against Zingano, Imagine Caraway coaching fighters, would be the wordt season/advice ever.
Rooting against Caraway every time. Hoping some badass Bantamweight beats him down good soon.
