Have you noticed how most politicians, billionaires, and millionaires love clout? Yeah, they love to wield influence and power even when they don’t have the wisdom to do so. But time is running out for anyone who expects influence and power to last forever. Here’s a list of those people I shared eight years ago. And this is eight years truer now. Time is … The rest of the story…
Check this out about the moon and sun. The sun is 400 times larger than the moon. And it’s 400 times further away. What an amazing and happy coincidence that is. It’s practically ecliptic is what it is. No, seriously. I mean it. It’s practically ecliptic, which is both a noun and an adjective. Definition: a great circle on the celestial sphere representing the … The rest of the story…
Do a search, for “retire,” on just about any search engine with the suggestions function. And you’ll probably see something like “retire ready” or “retire age” or, the best one, “retire early.” Yeah, if you’re gonna do it, retire early. I mean, why work any longer than you have to, right? Work is just for those knuckleheads who don’t have a clue about how … The rest of the story…
Ten years ago, right here on TonyFunderburk.com, I share some of my thoughts about social media. And I talked about how people get socially bold when they can hide behind a fake handle. So, I mentioned how social media is, in almost all cases, not conversation. Well, instead of me telling you I said such and such, here’s what I said…way back then. Why … The rest of the story…
Calculus, geometry, and trigonometry are almost impossible if you don’t first get some foundational training in basic math. And the same is true in just about every aspect of life. Because if you ain’t got the basics, you’re gonna struggle with the complex. A house is a good example of foundational training. Because any builder worth his nail apron will tell you the foundation … The rest of the story…
Oh foolish Americans. Who has hypnotized you so that you don’t even recognize the truth? And why, since you’ve known such incredible freedom, do you prefer to return to bondage? Yeah, so many foolish Americans fall for lies. Actually that’s not quite accurate. Because they willingly JUMP into the lies. And they willingly give up freedom after freedom. And it might sound counterintuitive, but … The rest of the story…
You probably haven’t noticed. But a lot of people sure have a lot of opinions. And they sure don’t mind sharing them with you. Even when you didn’t ask or request. And I wish most of them would shut up already. Because their opinions are about as silly as the sound of their voice when they share them. But I hope you shut up, … The rest of the story…
“You’ve got a mighty bright eternal future here, son.” “Ah, thanks Father. I can’t tell you what that means to me.” No, those aren’t lines from an old black and white movie. Although they could be. And too bad they don’t make movies with relationship-building lines like that anymore. But anyway…let’s get back to that eternal future thing. Isn’t it great to know you’ve … The rest of the story…
There’s no doubt about it. Haters gonna hate. But what there IS some doubt about is…who are the haters? Ironically (and woefully), it’s almost always the people who are yelling the loudest about who hates who. And here’s where the haters gonna hate me. Because I’m about to call a spade a spade. Have you ever dealt with the frustration that comes with talking … The rest of the story…
I read some clips from articles that talked about what a man wants in a wife. If you’re a happily married man, you probably already know that the consistent top answer is “a woman who is faithful to you.” Right? Because if you marry (or date) someone who isn’t faithful, even a supermodel is gonna make your life miserable. But a woman/wife who’s faithful … The rest of the story…
