Follow your * self.
Lift yourself up. Take control.
Do not put limitations on the infinite.

The day could begin so classy, or innocently. Olives and crackers and feta cheese, a high-line party thrown by some big-wig production company.
10 hours later I could end up waking on a subway train seat, articles of mine missing. No recollection of what I’ve done, where I’ve been the last 5 hours. No idea what I have done to whom, and vice versa.
Once the first drop hits the brain, the signal all-of-a-sudden becomes “I can handle this, it’s not that bad. I am in control. I can have another”
Ten drinks later, sloppily stumbling into people and embarrassing myself on the street, incoherently speaking, looking for another place to drink, much more prone to violence…still saying the same thing, “I can handle this, it’s not that bad. I am in control. I can have another”
What is the best thing to do right now?

Collaboration
Honestly I think this is at the core of many of our real solutions. Somehow society and people have in mind that to succeed you must bring others down. There are predators in nature but there are countless illustrations of creatures working in harmony and not destroying eachother. If we’re so advanced a species, how is it that our global mind still bases decision on competition with our fellow people rather than support?

“The force of the atom, is insignificant compared to the explosive force of human nature. The force we need to consider is that which brought man from the darkness of the cave, to the lights of the cathedral. It’s the energy of man’s ambition striving eternally for a place in the sun. And it must be controlled, not by international agreement, nor by legislation destroying man’s freedom; it must be controlled by the individual himself. The formula is a simple one, is man too young to practice it? It is simply: The Golden Rule. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you”

“We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep. I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor. It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do.”
-Walden, Henry David Thoreau
The circle represents the border of the radar, and the shape in the center is the individual
The stars inside the radar are events, situations, circumstances, people places and things – possibilities that are “seen” by the individual. The stars outside the radar represent the possibilities that are not seen by the individual…beyond the senses and unimagined.
You do not know what good things are out there for you, but it is your Faith that draws them to you. Your Faith brings things that are beyond your imagination into your grasp.
Faith has made events occur that were once unimaginable. There is one large event that has gotten much closer to the individual’s perception, and needs only a continuation of sustained Faith to enter the person’s “world”

“The dreamers are the saviors of the world. As the visible world is sustained by the invisible, so men, through all their trials and sins and sordid vocations, are nourished by the beautiful vision of their solitary dreamers. Humanity cannot forget its dreamers; it cannot let their ideals fade and die; it lives in them; it knows them as the realities which it shall one day see and know…
…Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delighful conditions, all, heavenly environment; of these, if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built.”

“What you pay for in life, you get. What you don’t pay for, you don’t get. The currency, is a concerted, persistent effort in thought, word, and deed. Each designed to raise expectations, instill optimism, and imply your inevitable success.”

A Knock At The Door
“We must be watchful, especially in the beginning of temptation;
Because the enemy is easier overcome if he is not suffered to come in at all at the door of the mind, but is kept out at his first knock.
A certain man once said: “withstand the beginning, (because) after the ‘sickness’ has taken vigor from long delay, the remedies come too late”
For first a simple thought comes to mind, then a strong imagination, afterwards delight, and evil motion and consent;
And thus, little by little, the ‘wicked’ enemy gains full entrance when he is not resisted in the beginning;
And the longer a man is negligent in resisting, so much weaker does he daily become in himself and the enemy becomes stronger against him.”
-Thomas A’Kempis (14th century monk)

Bus Route For Bars / Clubs
The first would be down Houston, from Broadway looping to the Williamsburg bridge, and back. Stops at many train stations.
Free rides. Businesses along the way sponsor the route and acquire a stop at their location. Maps with stops and sponsored ads created.

Gamify Project Management
Gamification is the making of something into a game. Challenges, rewards etc.
A system where project management is gamified, made fun, rewarding, all real-time. Things are done. Better.
In a troubled economy, more people can turn to freelance / small business for income. An economy can be created by having them cooperate.
The social network is blog format, connecting freelance / small business together.
