Ideas are dime a dozen. Implementation and efficiency are everything. What are you personally good at, and what you can keep doing 24/7 or until you drop? These are the key questions. Once you find your area, competition will be a secondary concern.

If this belief is already a part of you, probably taking it out would be like pulling a knife out of a stab wound. But very people can live with the understanding that they shape their lives based on a figment of someone else's imagination, even if they only understand it subconsciously...

Depression, like many other mental disorders, seems to be more of an umbrella term for different kinds of disorders. I would've thought it's a combination of circumstance and brain chemistry. If the bulk of the problem is caused by the chemistry, then "sucking it up" is more difficult, if...

One possibility to enjoy both worlds is to find a job which requires a particular combination of skills you have. I really can't think of a combination of IT and counselling, but maybe there is something? High-level technical support? It requires both analysis and knowing what people want. If...

If the company makes consistent and wise decisions about the remuneration, then yes, it's wise. However, as organisations grow, it is more difficult to make sure everything is run well. As a result, in most cases it is a privileged information, and it is at times even a sackable offence to try...

A non-INFJ perspective: There! This is the punch line as far as I'm concerned. You already know what you want. It's not easy to make a living out of this, but if you keep pushing in this direction, eventually you will. Find out how people become full-time craft makers. From my own...

Less people today want to have children than before. Maybe by a small margin, but still... eventually having children will become an exception rather than a rule. On the other hand, life expectancy is increasing, and there are more and more news about rejuvenation and life extension...

Muir, there is plenty to say here, but I'm afraid you have a huge advantage over me: time. I'm chronically running out of time and meanwhile your messages are multiplying, I simply have no way of keeping up, let alone looking up your exact wording, etc. You can basically do it yourself. I...

Alright, as quickly as I can - obviously, you don't believe in brevity... A good example - they have a million competitors who are pushing them away from what they're supposed to be best at. They started the business, they are nowhere a monopoly. They were a monopoly for a couple of years...

You listed several disjointed pieces of information, some related to medications, some not related to medications, some drawn from papers, others from the press releases of the proverbial news agency "Someone Said". The government and large business are full of liars, corrupt politicians...

No problem, but probably best in a different thread which is more relevant to it. You're welcome to come over and leave a message. Regarding the psychiatry, I kinda outlined my position above. Well yes, I read your posts here and in other topics (I have to admit, it's too long at times...

I hate it when people play dumb. Normally it means that they have no answer. Let me quote you: "also our society is very centrally controlled but it has many arms....like an octopus" Your line of reasoning is that there is a single malicious factor to be blamed for all ills. Correct...

Please refer to the implicit question in the second paragraph, then I'll answer your question. Do you believe a single malicious factor spoiled a paradise lost? Also, staying on topic would be appreciated.

Hell no, it's not. Let alone the fact that there is no such thing as our society. I live in Australia, you live in the UK, most folks here are from the US. These are all very different countries. Trying to explain complex phenomena by introducing a single malicious factor which spoiled a...

Well, your first priority is still helping people... It's difficult to see it as cynicism :-) .
