eveglassBecause I had too many to include in a single post yesterday.
1. Gifts that don't matter come from Walmart -- a few ideas for thoughtful gifts that don't cost any money.
2. The essential bookshelf: The only eight books I've kept (after hundreds of reviews) -- Trent at The Simple Dollar has reviewed hundreds of books on his blog. Here are the eight he thinks are the keepers. (I've only read one, but I agree with his analysis of it).
3. The law of the garbage truck -- a small, encouraging anecdote when people are getting on your nerves.
4. Famous failures (video) -- a short (1:16-minute) video describing some of the greatest failures of some of the world's most successful people.
5. The five stages of a product's life: saving you money on replacing expensive household items -- an interesting take on the products in your house and when they *really* should be replaced.
6. Quality of life -- a description of "Joe" (his anglicized name) from Thailand, about the two types of life he has led, and about which has a better quality of life.
