1. Sightseeing Even if you’re on Las Vegas’ famous “Strip” (Las Vegas Blvd.) you can partake in some amazing sights that doesn’t require any type of gambling. Although the hotel-resorts have largely “dethemed” their properties, there are still some really interesting design and architectural elements. You can “travel” from Egypt (Luxor) to New York City (NYNY), to Paris (Paris, LV), to Venice (Venetian) all within a few blocks. More interested in “real” geography and environments?...

Sadly, the mastery of influence is shrouded in limiting beliefs, and battled by resistance that others will impose. I know this battle well. The struggle to affect your personal life as well as your professional life is difficult. There is no right path to take; you must simply take the path....

1. Stop Justifying First and foremostly, you need to stop justifying getting angry and upset over everything. Stop thinking that you’re entitled to be so negative, because you’re not. The only person responsible for this is you. Do you really want to become that cranky old man or woman that tells everyone they ever meet why everything is awful and why everyone sucks?
