    The Happiness Project

    Lots of good common sense here. It resonated with me, maybe it will for you. Just thought I would pass it along.

    "Do it now." ???? Do it NOW????? But I ENJOY procrastination...!!

    Verry interesting... I'm procrastinating right now, and must go soon, but if I had more time, I'd re-translate this into several "Happiness" projects for various segments of the WTBTS...

    example: For a special pioneer... A part-time job that pays a lot, requires very little time (and no COLLEGE DEGREE), and brings them into contact with a lot of unhappy people desperately searching for answers...

    Thanks, AllTimeJeff! Zid

    Well that's cool AllTimeJeff, I'll have to check out the book at the book store. I don't really want to sign up but I did check out a few links she had up... I like the part where the title says what started me thinking... Neat Quotes on there.
