Superstition not welcome.

Uncategorized 1 Minute
TIL in the US in the late 19th Century it was briefly fashionable for people to form "13 Clubs" where they would dine in groups of 13, walk under ladders, spill salt at the table, etc. to demonstrate their lack of superstition. Several future US Presidents participated. from todayilearned

This is interesting to me because it seems to show a difference between the “ruling class” and the “working class”. The fact that several US Presidents participated in these sorts of events shows that the “ruling class” is taught that they are in charge of their destiny. That they need to make things happen, while many in the “working class” believe that things happen to them. They are lucky to land a better job, or unfortunate to be at the mercy of a bad economy.

The more successful you desire to be, the more you need to understand that your destiny is in your hands.

I believe in helping people in whatever way you can. In the power of creativity to transform a life, a business and the world. That if everyone was more generous the world would thrive. I've been an engineer. A consultant. An entrepreneur. And a salesperson. I also enjoy art. Today, I write. Stemming from my diverse experiences, I have a broad perspective and share it with others on topics from doing work you love to running a small business.
