“I'm of the opinion that the way you stimulate the economy and the way you create jobs is by leaving more money in the economy. You may say that sounds incredibly simplistic, but it's true. The private economy creates jobs.” U.S. Senator Rand Paul spoke at UC Berkeley on March 19, 2014. The event was hosted by the Berkeley Forum student organization.

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." - Steve Jobs

Capitalism = free markets.  Capitalism + government = crony capitalism, or corporatism.

Ten years of research and 500 face-to-face-interviews led Richard St. John to a collection of eight common traits in successful leaders around the world.

1. Passion — love what you do.

2. Work — work hard.

3. Focus — focus on one thing in your work, not everything. (Key: focus on what you are doing, not on becoming successful.)

4. Push — keep pushing yourself.

5. Ideas — make sure your ideas are good.

6. Improve — constantly view yourself as a project to be improved upon.

7. Serve — create value for others and serve them.

8. Persist — there is no overnight success, so keep persisting, especially through adversity.
