Useful tools...

Another useful tool - PDF to text converters. It can be frustrating getting text out of PDF files. Frankly I hate PDF files and cringe when someone misguidedly links to an Acrobat file. As though I want to waste time opening Acrobat inside (or outside) of my browser when simple HTML will do the job 90% of the time. Anyway, here's a converter - I haven't tried it and there's plenty more out there if you search.

Ravings of a looney

What really matters? What do we really need to know to get through life?

I am stressing "know", here, as in the working knowledge that gets us what we need and want throughout our lives. On a more physical level what we 'need' is sufficient food, shelter and exercise to allow us to sustain our bodily functions over a reasonable lifetime. It's not unreasonable to hope for reasonable health, unstunted growth and mental development over a period of say 30 years. It sounds short, but it's a minimum. Any more of that sort of life is quite a blessing, any less verges on misfortune or even tragedy.

These physical needs are pretty much the bottom rung of Maslow's hierarchy. And it does depend somewhat on where you are, of course. If you are sitting under a burning sun in a sandy desert then water would figure more highly, as would shade, food and some basic survival information. Alone on the high seas and you'd want all of the basics, plus a map would be handy.

But survival is more than just the basics. You can get by, or you can make more of it and leverage your assets. To do this involves some core knowledge. Whether you get it from me, from your parents, friends or siblings; or if you just figure it out yourself, no matter: it will make our lives somewhat brighter.


So what am I raving about?

Well I think the keys to the kingdom are:
  1. Respect yourself and those around you, do good in your life
  2. Goals are good, so get some
  3. Exercise keeps us healthy, so do it daily
  4. Happiness is worth it, so pursue it
  5. A little hunger keeps us healthy, so don't over-eat
  6. An active brain will keep us younger, longer, so think about that
  7. And kids are what we are here for, in the end, so have one or 2 of those as well if you get the chance ;-)
And if that doesn't work for you I don't know what will!
