This map shows the happiness of countries around the world. In other words, it shows the extent to which countries deliver long, happy, and environmentally sustainable lives for their citizens. Most measures of national progress put a high emphasis on economic activity without too much concern for environmental limits or less tangible aspects, such as well-being. The HPI (Happy Planet Index) puts at the heart the idea that happiness is not necessarily about wealth but living long lives with a high experience of well-being within the environmental limits of the planet. The reason for some high-income nations score significantly below other nations is the ecological footprint left on the planet. It is important to note, however, that the data does not take into account internal inequality measures and human rights issues tied to some countries which are high up in the rankings. Similarly, this map illustrates the differences in the absolute HPI score and does not take into account t...

I wrote "When I Find You" circa 2005. I wrote it looking into the future. Ana and I got married in 2012. In 2016, I stumbled upon the poem "I Always Knew" by Rod McKuen. Both poems describe how the present, the past and the future became one when I held her in my arms. Every day I give thanks for my best friend, my travel mate, the love of my life, my wife. I give thanks for the love that brought us together. I pray that as you read you know that love will find you!!! Enjoy. When I Find You When I find you...

Confidence breeds hope. Hope breeds peace." -Confucius “Teach the children so it will not be nece...

25 Simple Ways To Develop A Growth Mindset 1. Acknowledge and embrace imperfections. Hiding from your weaknesses means you’ll never overcome them. 2. View challenges as opportunities. Having a growth mindset means relishing opportunities for self-improvement. 3. Try different learning tactics. There’s no one-size-fits-all model for learning. What works for one person may not work for you. 4. Follow the research on brain plasticity. The brain isn’t fixed; the mind shouldn’t be either. 5. Replace the word “failing” with the word “learning.” When you make a mistake or fall short of a goal, you haven’t failed; you’ve learned. 6. Stop seeking approval. When you prioritize approval over learning, you sacrifice your own potential for growth. 7. Value the process over the end result. Intelligent people enjoy the learning process, and don’t mind when it continues beyond an expected time frame. 8. Cultivate a sense of purpose. Dweck’s research also showed ...
