Work Matters

and may I use the poem (citing this post) in a future post in my PT blog, She Bets Her Life? No postcard required. You might like my blog. Mary Sojourner

Sums it up really, that poem.

It made me laugh over my cup of tea this sunday morning.

My father always laughed at the way people were when he played golf with them. He's 85 and still playing golf. All the pushy, ambitious, self-important, greedy, angry, big cheeses are long gone. He never wanted a lot, I didn't get much either but he knew what enough was. And it wasn't much. He should know as he grew up really poor.

I have had more but it don't matter really.

Thanks

It appears that inheriting a deficit in dopamine receptors is the primary driver in impulsive/compulsive behavior. We post as much as we can find on this.

This is the best scientific explanation, right now, for chronic consumption and self-harming behaviors. In business, it neatly describes compulsive entrepreneurship, "success", money, celebrity, leadership and other socially acceptable behaviors that have the primary effect of stimulating the main "feel good" neurotransmitter - dopamine.

Same broken brain circuit mechanism in addiction, extreme sports, etc.

Pretty simple and mechanical actually. Brain researching is demystifying and demythologizeing pretty much all impulsive/compulsive behavior.
