THE CHANGING ECONOMIC LANDSCAPE IS ACTUALL AN ECONOMIC EVOLUTION

The world economy had a reality check in the 2007-2008 financial crisis and things have not been the same since. We have seen companies that have been around for a century go out of business just like that. It is still not yet time for us to breathe and from the way i see it this madness will continue for some time. Other businesses are being formed and the tech disruption still continues. I think before the smoke clears the damage will be enormous but the question is what will the world actually be like. This times are very uncertain and no one knows if this will stop anytime soon. These are some key points to not for why this entire economy sounds funny.

The labor participation rates and the new business formations are not at all time high and yet we still see rosy economic numbers. The economic data we receive depending on how every one analyzes it will give you the picture based on your level of understanding and the real observations made. Some people will tell you to take for the hills and that something is about to fall from the sky. There are more millennials graduating from college with debt levels rivaling home mortgages. Its almost like a common  story that millennial grads share among themselves. 

Companies no longer see an incentive in hiring lots of people because most processes can be automated with the aid of technology workers have also become a lot more efficient. Government debts are at an all time high and so are corporate and consumer debts which accounts for the sluggish mood in the economy. When you have an economy that is sluggish because any dollar spent poses a problem it becomes hard to get it going. There are serious investments that need to be made in the infrastructure yet government is already wrestling with how to pay its debt down. 

Regular people will like to go out and have a good time with their friends and families. Including shopping for some thing nice and new yet already have debts not to mention jobs that are not well paying. Some of these head winds i have mentioned have created a vicious economic cycle that is stalling real economic growth and development. Solving this problem will require some compromises and serious sacrifices that has to be made. Question is who is prepared to make such sacrifices and for how long will it take to clean up the mess that has been decades in the making. We are just having a rude awakening in what we have been doing wrong for years. By the way we have not yet learned anything yet and until we start learning to face this reality, the global economy might fall off the cliff.

DIY(DO IT YOURSELF) AND THE MILLENIAL GENERATION

The idea of doing things yourself has always been a generational legacy and this dates back to the first humans that walked the face of the earth. Archaeological discoveries has unearthed tools that where made for various purposes by our ancestors. Their handy works kept improving subsequently and has continued on till today. There has been a perception that some how millennials where not into doing things themselves because it is now convenient to order stuff online or go to the mall to pickup anything you want. The most common one is that they are sitting home playing video game. Depending on how you look at it every generation has always done things differently but the underlying concept remains the same. Millennials have a different way of doing things and in an attempt to preserve the old glory we end up creating a false perception. Regardless of how we want to look at it every generation had different resources to work with and the millennial generation is also working with the resources they have.Traveling around the world will open your eyes to how much of the DIY attitude that young people around the world have. Every geographic region has different needs and demands and young people around the world are living up to the challenge. The only reason we have a hard time seeing that reality is because we do not know and quite frankly we just do not care to find out about whats out there. If you think am kidding just go ahead and google DIY and see the results you get and you will know what am talking about.

THE CONVERGENCE OF TOM LEYKIS AND TOM SOTOMAYOR ON INTERNET RADIO

First of all both men have a message geared towards the male audience but both approach different subjects matters. From time to time they both touch on the same subject and that is empowering guys to make effective decisions that serves their interest. The issue of guys being 'sissified or pussified' is an exageration of the reality on the ground. I think guys were not ready for the change that has engulfed the social landscape. This change has been as a result of women voicing their discontent for how they have always been treated. i I sometimes sympathize with their assertions and why sometimes they are beater and lash out at guys. I simply do not agree the way forward is to go about it the way it is currently being done. I think raising the consciousness of society through proper education is a better way forward. The current system of education has serious gaps that is living a void that will harm the proper construction of a better society. Others have taken a cynical view of the issue saying as long as it is tied to money there is no way forward. I think that is true and the reason being that money sometimes corrupts all the best of intentions. Both men are worth listening to because they make logical sense but it should not be taken in the wrong way or used as an excuse to be abusive towards women.

WHY ALL GUYS NEED TO BE AWARE ABOUT THEIR SEXUAL INTELLIGENCE

There are all kinds of ways to measure individual intelligence and i think it is high time guys pay attention to their sexual intelligence. Guys are seen as hyper sexual or sexual deviants by females and it is true for reasons beyond the regular biological explanation. I had a female instructor who explained the sexual energy that each of us possess as something that is the motivation behind life. It pays to understand your sexuality and it does not mean exploring yourself by engaging in a all kinds of practice to know what you like and do not like. Most of our sexual practices is borne out of images we see and our own imaginations. That should give you some idea about how to determine the kinds of sexual practices you are likely to try. I know what am capable of trying sexually but have not yet actually experimented those acts. This to me is enough and by engaging in the act in real life does not guarantee satisfaction. Never dupe yourself into thinking there is such a thing as sexual satisfaction. You will always have a sex drive regardless and that drive could change with time. There are people who start off with a high sex drive and then it decreases with time and others have a low sex drive which increase later in life. When it comes to sex just take it a step at a time and not just binge on it.

VIRTUAL CURRENCIES AND THEIR PLACE IN A GUYS WALLET

The buzz about virtual currencies have been around for sometime and  i see it as something that has a place in online payments.There are attempts being  made to make it mainstream by the winklevoss and this excessive zeal could only go on to undermine that very goal. I think the winklevoss twins should focus on the low hanging fruits first. I can not think of virtual currencies being used as hard currencies because that will be dangerous and will give businesses like the winklevoss unprecedented powers that only governments have exercised about issues involving currency. Surfing the web is part of our lives these days for most young and middle aged people. This provides a good grounds to implement virtual currencies but has to be done right to prevent making it just another fad. People are concerned about security, privacy and convenience when it comes to online transactions. There are lots of places on the web that i can think of such as online gaming, adult entertainment, music and social media and online articles and other contents. This areas I think are all low hanging fruits and offer more than enough space for virtual currencies to be applied and for it to succeed. Virtual currencies should in  my estimation pass numerous security tests before making it widely available. I personally will like to have some virtual currency in my digital wallet and will be  glad to use it for some of the uses i have already mentioned. I think some online retailers thinking of using it should be careful.    

STOP SHOOTING FOR THE STARS AND BUILD A LIFE STYLE

I was once told by an associate to consider building a life style and get out of the rat race of life. It took me some time to actually understand where he was coming from with that comment. The issue with me  back then was a guy that was running around getting busy for nothing. Sometimes we are duped into thinking that staying busy means we are actually being productive and getting ahead in life. There are lots of people in the rat race game who are just a push away from falling off the cliff. Sometimes the way to resolve this issue is by pulling ourselves back and rethinking the road ahead. Taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture is not easy but very important. Evaluating yourself allows you to make corrections where needed and chart a better route that leads to a better place. The previous year has been an interesting year and there are all kinds of interesting predictions for this year and the years to come. The question now is, have you adjusted your lifestyle to live life as you want and not just become a victim of the rat race in the world.

XBOX POINTS JUST GOT REAL

Just read a piece in the forbes magazine about xbox live game points being converted to real currency for purchases in microsoft stores. I think most serious gamers have been waiting for a moment like this and it's a nice move on the part of microsoft. Gaming is finally living up to it's real meaning in the twenty first century. People go to casinos or bars and clubs to use slot machines which are then converted into real currencies so why not video games. Though still in it's early stages i hope this will be built on  and currencies like bitcoins will be substantiated sooner than later. Some of us have gathered a lot of tokens from playing  games and can not wait to convert it into real cash for other purposes.
