But if you don't get the brain on board, it could convince you to commit suicide or … Continue reading Killer brain →

"Never let a good crisis go to waste" Winston Churchill A counter intuitive quote at first. You might think surely it should say 'opportunity' instead of 'crisis' there. But upon reflection, he's dead right. As creatures who respond to pain, the dark times can bring about the best change. Take Pete for example, he used … Continue reading Wasted crises →
