Because:I think it’s these types of people, ones who might not ever envision themselves as business owners, who can create and run businesses best. They do it because some idea or motivation is so arresting they have to follow through. That is where you compassion behind passion and ideals people can get behind personally and professionally.

6. Read obituaries. They are just like biographies, only shorter. They remind us that interesting, successful people rarely lead orderly, linear lives.
Because: I could take or leave some of the advice in this article, but that whole concept of embracing a non-linear life falls into a camp of thought I’ve subscribed to since I began to contemplate moving abroad after college. In the case of writers, and many of my favorites, I find this to be especially true.

Bipartisan Seating At State Of The Union Is ‘Like Date Rape’
WSJ’s Moore: Bipartisan Seating At State Of The Union Is “Like Date Rape”
The Sitcom Season in Rape Jokes: Vulture
Because: When did we start joking so freely about rape?
Perhaps what repulsed me most about reading/watching these pieces (aside from Moore’s laugh, which struck me as jarring and near malevolent, after he cracks the “joke”) was realizing that while I have seen every episode of 2 Broke Girls, and do somewhat enjoy the show, though now I am going to reject that sentiment more. I really never noticed the rape jokes. I’m sure I heard them, but nothing registered as shocking. Apparently, I don’t even notice it anymore, and I do not think that’s acceptable.
