Billionaire John Caudwell chokes back tears live on air describing his son's Lyme disease http://t.co/EMLLWHh2Xk

[John Caudwell @JohnDCaudwell]

My son was diagnosed with #Lyme after 9 yrs of dreadful suffering. I am learning that diagnosis is abysmal, and treatment totally inadequate

When we try to simply "think it through" we have a tendency to loop through data and information. This is not a good strategy!

[James Stokes @JamesStokes]

When you are trying to think through a complex set of data, it's important to do it externally and not purely in your mind.

[James Stokes @JamesStokes]

When we decide, all the thinking (process) that lead up to the decision and new belief is no longer needed.

[James Stokes @JamesStokes]

When people say they have made a decision, there is a shift in the neural-pathways in their brain.

Facebook suspends Italian woman’s account after she posts image of two women kissing in support of LGBT rights.

Storms make people crazy. They feel the visceral effect and fail to put it to good use.

What really pisses me off with people is just the relentless stupidity!

[James Stokes @JamesStokes]

We are trained from very young to wait. These patterns continue to run when we are older. People need to be impatient with their problems.

[James Stokes @JamesStokes]

Think about how many things you have done in your life that you knew at the time were stupid. But you did it because it was familiar.

[James Stokes @JamesStokes]

The idea of aiming for ecstasy, enjoyment and doing things in your own best interest is a new generalisation for most people.

[James Stokes @JamesStokes]

Human beings tend to do what's familiar, even if it continues to cause them pain and suffering.

[John Caudwell @JohnDCaudwell]

This so succinctly captures the majority of what is wrong in the world. If you agree please Rt to make others think!
