CSOCI- 4MillionStories- Traffic

CSOCI- 4MillionStories- Traffic | CommonSenseOnComplexIssues | Scoop.it

I once read that a million things are happening to us at one time.  That’s right on this highway we cal life there is a theory that a million events that you’re unaware is targeted in your direction and you are the focal point.  That’s interesting, so you mean we are all like this huge bio orgasmic network of electrons and decisions that all focused at coming home ( you as the focal point).  That’s a lot to prepare for.

That’s why it’s important to know where you’re going so that success can find you. I know some people that do everything in their power to make sure success never finds them (sort of like the Gorgonytes from Toy Soldiers “We’re programmed to fail.

So prepare yourself and do everything in your power to make it easy for success to find you..  Because with a million thing coming at you at one time, the odds are in your favor for success to not only find you in all that traffic but to make sure that you also can also find success.

Where Are The Heroes To Save Pittsburgh's African-American Center?

Where Are The Heroes To Save Pittsburgh's African-American Center? | CommonSenseOnComplexIssues | Scoop.it
The August Wilson Center opened in 2009 as a hub for African-American culture. Now it's up for sale, unable to pay its bills, and some wonder why the Center has been allowed to fail.
Natalie Daher's curator insight, March 27, 2014 12:10 AM

This sound clip explores some of the politics behind the Center's downfall with Sala Udin, a longtime Pittsburgher and former City Councilman. Udin is a source who I hope to speak with for this project because of his political influence and perspective on why the City Council may not be capable of saving the Center.

This Radical New Prison Design Could Prevent Prisoners From Coming Back

This Radical New Prison Design Could Prevent Prisoners From Coming Back | CommonSenseOnComplexIssues | Scoop.it

Sometimes people and there solutions amaze me.  Even though this proposed model is wonderful,  why not put the money into real schools and keep them out of prison?  #IJS

Some people don't go to jail because they're bad, they did bad things because they were broke.  #IJS

 

These hardly look like jails.
