		<description><![CDATA[I have heard political arguments against generosity, against helping others.  "If you help them you are enabling their dependency issues," I've been told.  I remember one mentor who listened to my frustrations with the complications I was experiencing mentoring a troubled teenager.  "You've got to let people fail," she said.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tim Ferriss:  "I set Saturday very strictly for me... I try to regain perspective on Saturdays.. I really try to open no computers on a Saturday.. I don't have email set up on my iPhone, I don't want to see the notifications.. I try to make a point of calling my family every Saturday.. it's tough man... I mean time is really fleeting.. it is really, really staggeringly terrifying how time accelerates as you get older.. it's really terrifying."]]></description>

No matter how much time he had spent in school and no matter how successful he had been so far in life, he was still getting patronizing jabs from fuddy duddies with nothing better to do than critique a young up-and-comer.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hands-down the most fascinating thing that is coming out of my reading of Walter Isaacson's Steve Job's biography is his use of what his friends called the "reality distortion field".  It was well known that Steve Jobs basically had a conflict with reality.  He often refused to accept it. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This beginning of generosity in my religious thought life did not immediately reflect itself in my political attitudes (as many an early CultureMutt reader can confirm:))  Somehow it seemed that it was OK to make sweeping statements in support of my political camp and in deriding the poor losers on the other side of the aisle.  Perhaps it was the closet fundamentalist in me that needed to express himself...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To add to my vending machine craze I have now actually discovered what is a New York-based, downright NOBLE use of the machines:  vending machines that allow you to donate and receive FREE STUFF.  Here's how it works:  When you approach one of these vending machines you enter you email and you are given three credits.  Donating an item to the machine gives you a credit, taking an item rids you of one.  Easy peasey.]]></description>
