The End Of The American Empire

Since 2006, I have been talking about the end of the American empire.  With the current government in the US and the phenomenal spending on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,   we see the value of the dollar tumbling.  Wasn’t this what we saw in the British Empire?  A country over-extending itself and eventually caving in?

Furthermore, history shows us similar things with the Spanish, the Vikings, the Portuguese, and even the Roman empires.  What is particularly of interest is the connection between the decline in the morality of the empire (or country) and the corresponding decline in their influence.

Praying for believers in America to rise up!

China Overtakes Japan As World's Second

It looks like China has finally overtaken Japan as the world’s second largest economy. I don’t think too many people or even companies think, “I think I want to be the world’s largest economy”.
However, it is amazing that the little island nation of Japan went from a burned out defeated nation in 1945 to the world’s second largest economy for years.

Well, 65 years later they have to give up the crown to China. We’ll see how things go there. Well done Japan!

Being Solution Oriented

I love to be around people with ideas. It’s easy to find people who are experts at seeing the problem. It’s the rare and valuable person who always seems to have an idea for the solution.

When you examine the qualities of the people chosen most frequently for promotion and leadership, you discover that the vast majority are people who generate lots of new ideas —fresh ways of looking at a situation. Fear keeps most people from training their minds to think creatively and keeps them from putting forth a new idea when they happen to have one.

Being a solution-oriented person with lots of ideas will position you for promotion and increase on the job.
