Self-improvement articles

I'm a sucker for those "1,000 ways to improve your life" self-help articles, but not because I adopt the instructions en masse. Instead, I find these articles to be real useful ways to inject new approaches and ideas - they really help me think differently about everyday challenges - whether it's how to be more productive at work, or how to use vinegar to clean my dishwasher.

That being said, here's a few of the better articles from the last week or so.....

Uncommon Man's Creed

"I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon -- if I can. I seek opportunity -- not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I wish to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole, I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence, nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master, nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud, and unafraid, to think and act for myself, to enjoy the benefit of my creations, and to face the world boldly and say, "this I have done." All this is what it means to be an American." -- Anonymous
