The Synapse and the Stoa: Psychology & Stoic Philosophy
Hard Truths, Ego Defense & the Neuroscience of Self-Deception | Marcus Aurelius, Carl Jung & Stoicism

Two Words: Crush Pride "Pride is your greatest enemy; humility is your greatest friend."—C.S. Lewis. Pride makes everything about us. We're the center of the universe—it's all about me… Prideful men are everywhere; humble, confident men are hard to find. Here's the reality: God can do anything in a humble man and He won't do anything with a prideful man. We've got to choose what kind of man we want to be.

The Sampson Effect
Arrogance is unbecoming to a leader. It creates a blindspot in our lives that others can prey upon to hold us back, take advantage of us, or manipulate us to gain a tactical advantage. Sampson learned this the hard way, and paid for it with his life. What lessons can we learn from his story? Those we let in our inner circle can make or break us.

The recent USCIS proposed rule change allowing for the filing of incomplete applications is just one more manifestation for making life easier for illegal aliens seeking the much sought after Employment Authorization Document or EAD also known as a "permiso". A recent Center for Immigration Studies explains all of this in detail.
