The Best Marriage Advice From A Divorced Man. We’ve already heard the best marriage advice from a divorced woman, but we need to hear both ‘damaged’ sides in order to combine the full story. I’ve found an incredible advice from a divorced man – Gerald Rogers – that published it as a status on Facebook. Gerald Rogers is a seeker, a leader, a servant, a lover and a warrior of light. His famous status is breaking the records since 2013 for all the right reasons! I choose not to re-write his advice, or tell my personal opinion about it, because I think it’s perfect just the way it is.

What Happens When You Take Full Responsibility for Your Life The third: Just before any substantial breakthroughs, you will experience darkness and defeat. The fourth: When you take control of your mind, you realize the quality of your thinking reflects your current potential. In his book Outwitting the Devil, Napoleon Hill describes a meeting he had with his "other self," which operated entirely out of faith and definiteness of purpose. This other self seized upon Hill immediately following several months of deep depression. This voice told him whom to ask for financial aid in publishing his books.

At one point, he sums it up in a single sentence: If there's one thing Amazon.com is about it's obsessive attention to the customer experience, end-to-end. Fast forward 20 years to today. One thing that I love about this video is that the interviewer, who takes an adversarial position, doesn't pull any punches. Instead, he demonstrates emotional intelligence. Here are some of the highlights: On whether or not Amazon is an internet company Bezos: "It doesn't matter to me.... Bezos: "I don't see why not. On the cost of Amazon's grandiose plans
