There are many reasons to be angry at the people behind the financial crisis, the various bankers and regulators and politicians and con-people. You can be angry over the destruction of the economy, the poverty, the lost opportunities. But those things are old hat, so let me throw in another reason to be filled with rage.
These immoral idiots dealt a serious blow to the work ethic.
Our true interests and abilities can be determined by looking at what we are passionate about: the things we fan over, geek out over, our hobbies and fandoms.
Our careers are best directed by our true interests and abilities.
By examining our hobbies, interests, and pastimes we may gain insight into ourselves – our passions, our abilities, our knowledge, and our connections.
By applying what we learn about ourselves from our hobbies and interests, we may achieve more fulfilling careers and lives.
To not do this is to limit ourselves.
– Steven Savage
I know I spend a lot of time in my columns expounding on the ignorance of pundits, politicians, and other so-called experts. This . . . really isn't going to be much different.
I'd like to rant a bit about the "experts" (self-described and not) who don't know how things work. This is very common.
