Take Control of your Capacity for Change

You have the capacity for change.

There’s a trend I’ve noticed, well I say noticed, but really its been around for the last decade or so. It boils down to this idea that we should all be perfectly happy the way we are, that the way we are is perfect and that the world as a whole is evil for telling us that we’re not good enough.
It seems, in essence, to be a highly defensive response to the media inundating us every day with images telling us we won’t be good enough if we don’t have this bag/makeup/car/lifestyle/weight.

The Danger of Tradition – or – Why the Ancient Egyptians didn’t have Air Conditioning

The Ancient Egyptians were an extremely organized and advanced society. It is believed that they existed, as a cohesive society, for around 3,000 years from around 3100 BCE to 30BC when they were taken over by the Romans. They built pyramids, had one of the first recorded writing systems, and left us some of the most inspiring historical remnants. To sum it all up, they were awesome. Using the original definition of the word Awesome. Awe inspiring.

That said.

They didn’t have air conditioners, did they? Unless we’ve missed some HUGE hidden deposit of historical electronic devices, the Ancient Egyptians didn’t have air conditioners. They had fans, sure. And lots of people to wave said fans. But they did not have air conditioners as we know them today.
