A message to everyone feeling tired. Get extra sleep immediately. The best comments are below.

My parent's former neighbors The Shermans past away. The husband past away in Apr 2017. The wife past away in Jul 2017. The husband reminded me never stop learning in a person's senior years. Never Stop Learning Lesson Emphasized Because One Of The Shermans Past Away blog reminds everyone use your brain every day.

My parents continued learning in their retirement years. On the other hand my in-laws stopped learning. I can tell who are sharp and who aren't sharp as time continued. -- Heather Sparks, Lynn, MA

My children called out on me losing my memory. Forgot my keys. Forgot the time to pick up my grandchildren from school. Then I started spending more time reading books, taking walks. I started watching less television. I could think again. -- Eugene West, Greenfield, IN

I questioned What Is Believe. Anything we do must be done. Common examples include earning a degree, winning a contract, and becoming a champion. Do we really need to believe we succeed?

I emphasize believe everyday coaching my high school women sports. They must believe in themselves. Some of my players have no parents. I must tell them to believe so they can believe in themselves. --Joyce French, Buffalo, NY

You know I think back to raising my kids. I believe I never mentioned believe when I taught them life lessons. --Connie Bates, Jacksonville Beach, FL

Anyone that tells someone to believe in yourself doesn't know how to teach. --Melissa via email

A couple comments expressed fear their small cities are losing the small city feeling. I experienced a small city feeling in A Praise For Small Cities.

I blame the tech companies for small cities becoming big cities. My city used to have lots of open fields. Now these open fields are commercial buildings and high-density housing. The city is crowded. I never wanted to live in a crowded city. More people in public areas. --Devin Kim, Pleasanton, CA

I'm in my 70s. I have to concentrate harder on the road because there [are] more cars. Also, I'm sad these ma and pa stores I used to shop are closing not because of the big box stores. It's because of the internet. --Eva Floyd, WA

I Blog, You Comment Apr 26, 2016

There are two out of many attributes defining a good human being. The first attribute is independent thinking. Think for yourself. Express your opinion. The second attribute is respecting everyone's thoughts and opinions same, different, or in between. Thank you for sharing your comments and opinions.

A few readers applauded me when I wrote Yes Slow Down. I blogged the world needs to relax. The world is fatigued. Specifically, I need to slow down because life is a marathon, not a sprint.

Good for you. Take your time. Work slowly yet efficiently. --Shu Hackler, Laredo, TX

You're making the correct choice finding time to rest, recover, and sleep well. There's always tomorrow. There's always another day to watch that TV show. -- Carmelita Bettcher, San Antonio, TX

The pyramids and Rome weren't built overnight. Take your time. Success will follow. -- Deloise Gagner, Henderson, NV

My two teenagers can't slow down. They're busy studying, busy with school sports, and busy socializing. They rarely have time for family. What's the world coming treating our sons and daughters like this? It wasn't that way when I was in high school. My high school was go to school, chat with friends during activities, and not even worrying about college applications. -- Lawerence Faucett, Los Gatos, CA

Cash, greed, and power will rule the world. Without them these people rather die. No time to be slow. Life is about cash and the bottom line. The end result matters no matter what it takes. -- Miguel Sanchez, Mesa, AZ

My secret living for 95 years. It's plenty of sleep. -- Glady Youngblood, Lexington-Fayette, KY

Sense of urgency is full of sh**. These people are making money in the short-term making every minute and every deal count. But when they're 50 or 60 popping pills for lack of healthy diet and exercise. No way I'm living that way in my old years. -- Jeri Delacerda, Huntington, NY

Parents added more to my Top Ten Life Advices I Wished Somebody Told Me In My 20s. My top ten list is the following: college grades are overrated, seek new adventures and experience new experiences, get stronger, be responsible, control of my own life, don't take life for granted, meet new people and make new friends, make mistakes, move out as soon as possible, and embrace change.

Get a part time job. That's how you learn the world and people. --JKReally via email

I told my college sons to meet new people and make friends in real. Online doesn't count. -- Reinaldo Scofield, Denver, CO

Save money. Learn investing. These people at Wall Street care only for their greed and their bottom line profits. Wall Street knows how to take advantage of idiot investors. -- Kimbra Duhaime, Chula Vista, CA

Visit a foreign country is my number one advice. -- Karyn Taubman, Montgomery, AL

There are two common life sayings which are live in the present moment and prepare for the future. Both life sayings are correct when combined. They're useless separated. I elaborated the combined in Live For Today And Live For Tomorrow.

Fantastic! Well written! I was confused when my parents told me one day to make my mark today. Time passes. They told me when I started in my freshmen year college is preparing me for the future. I was confused. I realized in my mid 30s my parents were correct both times. -- Annamae Griffey, Houston, TX

I'm happy you realized how much you missed living in the present when you were younger. You will succeed at catching up what you missed. I wish you the best doing it now for tomorrow. -- Marybelle Hemmings, Washington D.C.

I knew I made the right choices. No drugs, no drinking, no smoking. Some of my college friends, classmates, and acquaintances were lucky they turned out ok. Some of them didn't turn out ok. They're losers wasting time. They just didn't get their college lives. The drugs, drinking and smoking were life lessons corrected for the ok. The ones didn't turn out ok are still doing drugs, drinking, and/or smoking. They lived in the present and didn't care for the future. They're heavily in debt they haven't paid their loans. -- Sherman Kunkle, New Orleans, LA

The gym is the best example of living today for tomorrow. I love how you wrote the exercise. I exercise now for a healthier tomorrow. I hired a personal trainer. I don't want to walk around in my 80s with a walker. -- Tosha Gwinn, Sacramento, CA

A lot of thank you comments when I wrote my 1,000th Blog.

Please keep blogging. I read them. I learn from them. --iluvcookies via email

Cheers, Mate!!! --Paul K., Australia

Another 1,000 blogs, please. I want to see you grow and improve. It's too bad some people never grow and improve. I see the strength in you coming out. Best wishes and successes are coming. Be patient. -- Vernia Altieri, Virginia Beach, VA

Now that you wrote 1,000 blogs, relax and take a break. No need to write nine blogs a month anymore. Stop continuing. You need to take time off blogging and more time going outdoors. I want to read more action and successes. I hope so when you finally move out and get a job. -- Danny Morais, Pittsburgh, PA

On the other hand . . .

I hoped you stopped at 1,000. The blog sphere has too much crap. You're full of crap big time! -- Joni Fuson, Newark, NJ

Now that you wrote 1,000 blogs, stop. One less crap blog in the internet to read. -- Alvin Bondurant, Colorado Springs, CO

Go start your innovating life. You need a life, loser. -- Mathew Lucchesi, Minneapolis, MI

Stop writing and start living. Your blogs are garbage. Write less, live more. Then write another 1,000 blogs when you're older. -- Tyson Kearns, Memphis, TN

I devoted a blog titled All The People In My Life to everyone I met, the people who influenced me who I am today, and hopefully I influenced most of the people who were in my life. People come and go. I wish the best for those who are not part of my life currently.

I keep in touch with everyone because of Facebook. High school, military, and my neighbors from all the cities I lived. I'm happy to say most of them are doing well. --R.D. I., Japan

I thought about the people in my past life after I read your blog. There were a few with bad childhoods. I hope they're doing well. -- Orville Blum, Akron, OH

I'm sad to say through communications with acquaintances a few of my friends now in their 40s and 50s are experiencing rough times. One of them is homeless. As life continues, people change for the better or for the worse. If anyone in my past is encountered with me, I answer I'm lucky I am what I am today. --I. Smith, no city

I wrote another confusing blog titled Growing Up Too Late Was Not My Fault. I stated my current life situation being behind was the fault of others. I listed my reasons I grew up later than I should have beyond my control. Some readers thought other reasons.

I will say this regarding growing up too late or late. It's subjective when is too late and when is late. Frankly speaking, you did it. The obstacles life presented you consider yourself a winner. -- Dusty Borquez, Hialeah, FL

Full of bull [is my] conclusion your life is today. Blaming your shortcomings on others. Be more responsible. You're a coward. -- Edna Comacho, Dallas, TX

I read the blog not knowing when you grew up. 20s, 30s, 40s? How old were you? I stopped reading after the first reason because you're grown up. End of blog. No need to state the reason why you're late. -- Darell Nida, Omaha, NE

These were excuses in your past life. You lived a naive life, and those excuses were reasons you stayed naive and didn't want to grow up. --Earl Smith, Italy

It sounded like you knew what you were doing and you didn't want to grow up. Shame on you. You deserve to be living behind everyone else. -- Stephnie Principe, Wichita, KS

My neighbor's son is 35 years old. Dropped out of college. No life. Stays at home doing nerdy stuff. Playing video games, watching too much television, reading Star Wars books. Can't even talk to a woman. Heck, women run away. Overweight, smells, and bad breath. I respect the parents having him live at home. He could have been homeless. I tell you the parents did their best. They're not dumb parents. They hope for a miracle day when he realized he must stop the nerd life and get a real grown up life. -- Aldo Fetterolf, Rochester, NY

I received positive comments for the live the present intelligently bullet from Instant Bullets Blog Dec 1, 2015.

All of our choices we make in life should be and must be done intelligently. What an intelligent way to communicate how to make better choices. -- Liana Waring, Miami, FL

I love the word "intelligently" after living the present. It's like its okay to drink wine. It's not okay to get "drunk" drinking wine. Drink intelligently. -- Elmira Vanwagner, New York, NY

The first blog I read was the 24/48 hour urge to splurge rule. Splurging intelligently. I can tell you my wife and I saved hundreds and thousands of dollars avoiding the urge to splurge. It's a 99% not spending rate waiting a minimum of 24 hours to buy. --Elvis "Stud", CA

Thank you for the encouragement from I'm An Open Person. I told the world I'm doing my best in my current life situation.

Never give up. Never. Continue what [you're] doing. To quote the late Steve Jobs, "The journey is the reward." -- Bernadine Hagenbuch, Scottsdale, AZ

Stay busy. It's the best way to keep going. Stop and all of a sudden your feel depressed, you feel despondent, and all of your hard work is wasted. -- Deshawn Roosevelt, Las Vegas, NV

Life is moving forward. There are people who want you in his or her life professionally, as a friend, and/or as a wife. Life rewards those who do good things. You're doing good for yourself. You did a good job starting. You're going to do good finishing. -- Rebecca Quan, Oakland, CA

I read your blog. I started opening up. No more keeping my life enclosed to myself. Life is really not that bad. I feel free. I feel relax. I feel like smiling more. --Ricky Fanchild, TN

I'm single in my 50s. I'm not giving up finding my future husband. It's difficult. I know I find my hidden treasure. Maybe being mid-age is an advantage. I've seen people in their 20s acting immature. I experienced my 20s except I was more polite and sociable than these 20 year olds today. --Dorian Sprankle, Denver, CO

Your future love is going to be a nightmare. Your ultimate nightmare. Find something else to be happy. --Ron Shipman, Grove City, OH

was my last work blog entry.

I Blog, You Comment Sun Aug 9, 2015

I'm interested in different thoughts, opinions, and disagreements.

A Sample Of Changes Everyday is a blog about change. People changing is consistent for better or for worse. I was inspired seeing my friends' profile pictures on Facebook looking different for better or for worse. Jobs, climate, and computers or technology were the other samples.

Our actions are determined by change. There is a saying if it's not broken, then don't fix it. Something happens in our lives, then we make changes. --Hayley Palmer, Saint Augustine, FL

I went to my ten year high school reunion. The cute girls I had a crush with looked different. Man, those girls need face lifts. And some of them need to hit the treadmill. --Peter Manning, Manassas, VA

I live a consistent life. My job is steady pay, low stress. I lived in my apartment for 30 years. I'm a good health. I don't smoke and drink. I live an easy live. That's consistency. I'm not changing. --Regan Irwin, North Ridgeville, OH

I discovered my self-respect in I Define Self-Respect. I realized I must respect myself to achieve my personal goals.

I remember my classes at school teaching self-respect, self-confidence, self-esteem, and so on. I never understood those. I'm an adult now. [I understand] what self-respect means. Congratulations we discovered self-respect. Sure hells some adults don't respect themselves. --Rebekah Haley, Fort Mill, SC

Self-respect is looking yourself in front of a mirror. If you respect what you see, great. If you don't, then you have problems. --Imelda Barker, England

As a guidance counselor, congrats. Good blog. Well written than some of the psychological experts I studied in college. And I gained some insights I use to counsel my students needing help. --Lydia Rosario, Muskogee, OK

I knew how to satisfy the ultimatum in the dream My Girlfriend's Ultimatum Or Her French Black Dress I blogged. The short answer was being a gentleman.

Your dream is telling you to marry a Frenchwomen. --Aquila Livingston, Methuen, MA

I showed your blog to my husband. Yes, I gave him the ultimatum. We're in counseling. I think you saved our marriage. Thank you! (P.S, I have the French Black Dress hiding.) --Violet Perkins, Canyon Country, CA

I deduce you're last relationship your girlfriend broke it off. The ultimatum the girlfriend in your dream told you was the solution to find your wife. Satisfy the ultimatum, satisfy the human desire to find love. --Donald Chen, Astoria, NY

As a mother of three teenagers, I demanded my sons to read the ultimatum. Because if they treat their woman without respect, they're getting a black dress. --

The black dress was a symbol of death. Fail to satisfy your girlfriend's ultimatum, the relationship was dead. The black dress is being buried . . . . -- Calvin, Oshkosh, WI

Those solutions to the ultimatum seemed to be correct. The dream girlfriend wanted a man, not a wimp. The dream girlfriend wanted a man, not a child. The dream girlfriend wanted a gentlemen, not a big bodied loser. --Kirk Hampton, Addison, IL

Personal problems such as unemployment, alcoholic, drug addict, depression, etc. exists. The Person Wants No Help asked how much time is given to the person to choose accepting help? The blog also asked how much time does he or she have to successfully change? My answer was subjective to both questions.

I was a patient husband. My wife was an alcoholic for three years. I divorced her after the third year. She just didn't care about her life. Counseling didn't help, too. --Holly Hernandez, Shelbyville, TN

There is no substitute for falling in love. Love is the ultimate happiness. Never Give Up Finding The Ultimate Happiness.

My happiness is being by myself. I'm not alone. I have friends. Marriage is too complicated. 50% divorce rate. I take my chances working to be happy myself. --Dawn Shannon, North Canton, OH

My ultimate happiness is peace in the world. --Dillon Bradshaw, Glen Allen, VA

I believe many people aren't working hard enough to be happy. They're afraid to be happy. It's like many people are more comfortable saying f*** than happy. That's sad. --Ezra Barrera, Derry, NH

Let's be honest. The world is not happy. Why? There's too much bad events going on. Why be happy? --Keaton Joseph, San Antonio, TX

I 100% agree with you. There's no substitute being in love with another human being. Well written. --Carter Green, Ada, OK

The people who give up on love is giving up on happiness. Never take life for granted. You want happiness. You want love. You gotta work on them. Maintain them. Improve them. Don't just say we're married, we made it, done. Let's just live our lives. Boring. --Eaton H. Johns, Chaska, MN

You have problems. You're just dreaming. Stop writing your dreams on a blog. Go out and get a life stupid --Nola Church, Winchester, VA

My One Wish is learning faster.

Your one wish should be on something to splurge. A million dollars. (Don't say million bucks. I saw the GEICO commercial.) A new car. A new home. When do we splurge without gult? Use your wish. --Emma Cox, Reno, NV

An admirable wish. You want to improve yourself by learning faster. Good wish. --Laurel Carroll, New York, NY

That wish tells me you want to change yourself. Correct? --Rose Wilkins, Crystal Lake, IL

Please provide me with your comments, opinions, and feedback at feedbackininblog@innovateinfinitely.com.

I wrote Tell Me You Games to help people socialize in a social setting and communicate in a professional setting. Some people need games to talk.

Good game ideas. I used some of your suggestions in corporate outings. I also used some of your suggestions to introduce a new employee to a new team. --Katie Bridges, Pensacola, FL

We play board games. I knew there's going to be a moment in time we're going to have to know each other outside the [dice], meeples, and workers. I suggested one of your ideas. Now we spend time socializing when we're not playing games. We go outside and do something else. --Lamar Morris, Billerica, MA

My circle of friends have been hangin out for 5 years. We played two of those games one night. Man, we opened up big time! --Jack Martin, Mesa, AZ

As a dentist taking care of my patients, I pay particular attention to the men and women who do a poor job taking care of their mouths. Poor mouths equal no oral sex. --Maurice Austin, Louisville, KY

Sex is a motivator. In all honestly, my husband takes care of himself. He looks like the man I married 20 years ago and 30 pounds lighter. I reward him with a b**w j*b --Linda Abbott, Rome, NY

There is a common saying "use it or lose it". We lose it when we stop doing it for a long time. I applied "use it or lose it" to my extended unemployment after college in 2011-2013. I lost most of my job skills such as Excel and most of my job strengths such as analysis. "Use it or lose it" applies to everything we must take nothing for granted. The feedback in Exercise Your Body From Head To Toe Inside And Outside confirms some people and I train everyday even as masters of their specialties.

I loved the way your wrote your blog. Basically, take nothing for granted. --Claire Wong, Appleton, WI

I'm a season ticket holder to the Bears, Cubs, and Bulls. I watch the athletes warm in during pre-game. I tell you they train everyday because their major league professions. They train everyday. They miss workouts and practice for an extended period, then they're out of a job. -- Franklin Martin

I think the world don't remember how to sleep and don't remember how to move their bodies. We're a bunch of lazy people sitting in front of our computers. Some of us believe we have lots of friends . . . online friends we never saw face to face. Sad world. I remember the old days we call each other on the telephone to spend days together. Most of the time it's outdoors moving around in a physical activity. --Joanne Watkins, East Meadow, NY

Sleep is my spiritual practice. Sleep was My Spirituality Discovery. If you don't have any spirituality, then join the sleep spiritual movement. It's your spiritual part of your life.

Kudos. Bravo. Having the knowledge, the conscious that sleep is my spiritual side of my life, I feel better when I wake up in the morning. --Sophia Armstrong, Grayslake, IL

I shared positives about my parents raising me when I was a child in My Parents Raised My Correctly.

I'm a regular reader of your blogs. I was waiting for some good news regarding your parents. --Ben Morton, Bergenfield, NJ

I thought my parents were the worse parents. I'm similar to you. I'm a late bloomer. I discovered many life lessons on my own. Like your parents, it was better I discovered myself. My parents would have taught me bad life lessons. --Bobby Flowers, Harrisonburg, VA

You parents are not bad parents. They were not abusive. Abusive, neglect, endangerment. Those are the worse parents. Period. Nothing else comes close to bad parents. --Celia Sanchez, Los Angeles, CA

As a social worker, you're parents are good parents. They did something right. You're not a criminal. You're not lazy. You're responsible. You have goals. I wish you the best! --Lindsay Adams

Your parents provided food on the table, shelter, and clothes. Good parents in my book. Just think of some children with at least one of those missing. --Stella Gross, Eugene, OR

Life changes daily. I shared some observations each day is a change in people's lives. Some changes are expected. Some changes happen suddenly. Some changes are triumph. Some changes are tragic. A Sample Of Changes Everyday mentions weather and beauty.

I think the best change in a person's life is wisdom. The wrinkles in my body are my life marks telling the world I changed for the best in my life. --Percy Burns, Clinton Township, MI

I remember in my 20s my life [wasn't] going to change. I liked the life then. I remember in my 30s my life [wasn't] going to change. It did and I didn't like the life then. I remember in my 40s my life [wasn't] going to change. It did and I didn't the life then. I'm in my 70s. Looking back, there was nothing I could do to avoid change. I hated my looks in my 40s. I hated my body. I hated the stress. I hated the extra responsibilities. I hated my life's twist and turns. I wised up in my late 60s. I welcomed changed. I welcomed the good and the bad in life, and the ugly. I should have smiled more. The lack of smile was my biggest life mistake. --Dianne Greer, New York, New York

I announced my retirement being an anime fan. I shared my Top Ten My All Time Favorite Anime Series.

Success is like a jigsaw puzzle. Complete the puzzle to be successful. My missing pieces in Finding The Missing Pieces are finding new friends, learn more job skills, living independently, and being the best physically fit.

What're you going to do when your puzzle is completed? Are you going to find another puzzle to complete? --Charise Luebke, Huntington, New York

That's how I teach my children. What do you want to do in 2015? I ask them the question. My children [write] down what they want to do spread out in a piece of paper. Next, I ask them to cut in pieces creating their own puzzle. The piece is added to the puzzle when completed. --Charlene Doster, Honolulu, Hawaii

The San Francisco Giants won the 2014 World Series. I blogged Giants fans should hope for the best. Believe. Be positive. Did World Series MVP pitcher Madison Bumgarner read my blog and took my advice before Game 7? My Thoughts On Game 7 Of The 2014 World Series

Go Giants! --Aleshia Mateer, South San Francisco, California

I remembered seeing the final out on Game 7. It took me a long time to answer the question "What just happened?" --Zenobia Gerhardt, Kansas City, Missouri

I Blog, You Comment Tue Nov 17, 2014

Thank you for the comments, opinions, and feedback.

There Are Many Children With Parents Like Mine blog was about adults who were raised by their parents similar to my parents. Lots of comments were related to our similar childhoods. I mentioned my parents lacked parental knowledge, inattentiveness to my problems, and played the "ignore the problems and hope they go away".

Yup, my brother, my sister, and I had dumb parents. My sister and I forgive them. My brother hasn't. He's not on speaking terms with our parents. --Francis Alvarez, Arlington, TX

Did your parents hit you? Did your parents ditch you? No? Then you parents raised you well. Sounds simple, yes. There are many children in abusive homes, foster care, and homeless who want your parents. --Leslie Owen, Fresno,CA

You could have been in a worse situation with terrible parents. You're not in jail. They did something right. --Debbie Jefferson, Cincinnati, OH

I agree with you blog 100%. Parents who failed on what you wrote shouldn't be parents. I don't care whether they have lots of money to bail you out of problems. Or to buy you out. Terrible parents. I'm feel pessimistic now after writing this. Finally, there should be government mandatory parenting classes teaching basic parenting. Want more jobs. Start these classes. --Teresa Harrison, San Jose, CA

I wrote a blog telling the world to relax. Take a deep breath. Rest and recuperate. The timing is perfect to read An Open Blog To The World.

I'm a secretary in a law firm. I've been more mistakes committed by the attorneys as the year continued. They're tired. They're prone to more mistakes. Imagine they go to court without me correcting their errors. They lose the case. --Edna Torres, Dallas, TX

My youngest in junior high and my oldest in high school. Dead tired after a long school day. My high school days were never this stressful. What's going on with the world? Take a damn break! Get some sleep! --Byron Murphy, Kansas City, MI

The reason we're tired is too much television shows. Stop watching television, or at least cut your shows in half. --Jody Miles, Buffalo, NY

The world is over-simulated. Be strong. Rest. Don't give in to all this simulation we see with technology and the tv screen, the phone screen, and the computer screen. --Corey Ferguson, Wichita, KS

When will the world realize the lack of sleep hurts everyone? One person is stressed affects the people around him/her. Is it really important to finish everything in one day? If it not important, it's not meant to be done today. The sun will come up tomorrow. --Brenda Burton, Baltimore, MD

There were mixed opinions when I wrote How I Buy DVDs.

Great advice. I sold half my DVD collection I never watched in years. Less clutter in the living room. --Bethany Gonzalez, NM

Good idea. I follow your advice when I think about buying a DVD. It's true what are the chances I watch 100s of movies a year? Not with my daily schedule raising children and keeping my wife happy. --Travis Summers

I can't wait when the DVD is released. I don't watch movies in movie theaters. I buy it to for a big collection. I'm happy with my big collection. Best way to relief stress. --Gilberto Mason, Seattle, WA

The worse blog I read. One, I don't have a DVD collection. I use NetFlix. Two, you're a cheap person. Three, a waste of space in my apartment. Waste of resources printing the paper and making the DVD covers. We have too much trash. --Jan Chan, Los Angeles, CA

Job candidates have a better chance getting a job with good social and conversation skills. I wrote a blog talking about The New Job Interview where the interview is a conversation.

The old school conversation Q&A is outdated and ineffective. If I can have a good conversation with you, then I hire you. --Doug Gill via email

I smile, you smile. We have eye contact. I'm comfortable being in your presence. I will hire you. --Noel Carlson, Chicago, IL

It's like asking a person out on a date. If I want to date you, you'll be hired. --Jessie Payne, SF, CA

I follow new life rules thanks to Mike. Read Mike's Rules to follow them.

These are basic rules. Overstated! Waste of time. --Danielle, Virginia Beach, VA

Fake it till you believe it and courage and comfortable were worth my time reading it. --Gerard Ross, Long Beach, CA

I'm a grade school teacher. I added a couple of Mike's Rules to my classroom rules. --"Miss Cookie" via email

All feedback for What Is Innovate Infinitely? stated it was terrible. There was no point of the blog. Stupid. Weak. The comment that summed up all the feedback in a cruel way:

Look, sir. You still live at home. You overeducated for a job in retail. You have no friends. That's enough to tell me your "innovate infinitely" is a bunch of bull shit. I bet you're an anime fan since you mentioned Japantown. The people who are geeks and anime don't know shit when it comes to living life. Losers. You're weak. You really need strength. You need opportunities. Yeah, right. You don't deserve opportunities. Prove to the world and the world will reward you. The world has a way to give good people good fortunes and bad people bad fortunes. You are lucky your parents let you live at your age. I kick my kids out if they were living at home over 40 years old. --Shawn Powell, Washington D.C.

I got sick big time in May and June. I wrote Top Ten Ways I Lower My Chances Getting Sick to share my mistakes and to remember what I do to avoid getting sick. Some people agreed with my ideas. Some didn't.

I agreed with a clean house, taking your time, and staying hydrated. I disagreed with the soda is your best friend. --Cesar Holt, Baton Rouge, LA

Good article. I adapted the stay hydrated. I should use it to motivate me to drink more water. --Chelsea Mann via email

These are life changing ideas. You're not even a doctor. Good job. --Elisa Fuller, Vancouver, BC, Canada

My goodness. What a bunch of bull. Soda for spicy foods. Nope. Eat three meals. Not for my body. Too much sleep is bad for you. --Jeremiah Griffith, San Diego, CA

I continue to receive complements for growing up Five Years Ago Today I Grew Up (Fri Oct 4, 2013).

I'm happy you grew up back then. We need those immature people to act their ages. --Bertha Smith, Pittsburgh, PA

Start with growing up. . . . being a mature and professional person follows. Responsibility, admitting mistakes, smiling, earning your successes, etc. Too many youths are getting away with trouble. Where are their parents? It seems their parents were not grown up at the time they choose to have children. --Steve Oldermeyer, Oklahoma City, OK

I work at a high class restaurant. There are customers who sure can't be comfortable around. Bad manners, bad language. I'm happy their not my parents. My parents taught me to be responsible. These people are greedy and they care about themselves. Big egos. --Samantha B via email

I blogged about having the friendly and optimistic feeling in I Got This Feeling (Sun Nov 3, 2013). These feelings include being independent and being more concern about me. There is hope. My curses are broken.

Never underestimate hope. --Hope Johnson, Portland, OR

Now that you have that feeling, never lose that feeling for the rest of your life. Find ways to practice, practice, practice and remember, remember, remember. We live in a fast pace world. We forget many things easily. There is hustling and bustling. There are people who even don't have time to go to church. There are parents who work too many hours and forget their kids. Having that feeling I hope you don't become one of those people who forget human kindness and being friendly. God bless you! --Curt Rodriguez, Houston, TX

Not bad blog. If we can have courage to express our feelings, I think we can get along with more people. There are less enemies and conflicts between us. --Debbi Iment, Toronto, Ontario

We hear the ironies in daily life. I blogged my Top Ten Life Ironies (Wed Dec 25, 2013).

I lol at number 10 and been there, done that at number 6. My childhood hobbies, my mother's profession, and my brother's high school textbook I read when I was bored helped me earn A's in a few of my college classes. I didn't even do all the homework. --Roger Best, Durham, NC

Going back to Blockbuster was not ironic, stupid! --Kate Tan, Reno, NV

Quitting your favorite hobbies wasn't ironic. It meant you grew out of them. --Paul Ice, Santa Barbara, CA

I like Indian curry. I hate Japanese curry. --John, Chicago IL

This ironic blog sucks! --Ronald Ball, Fort Wayne, IN

It's ironic you're learning life reading books. Shouldn't you learn life experiencing it outdoors? --864icecream via email

What a waste of time reading this blog. --Leonard Sanchez, Modesto, CA

Change requires deconstruction. Almost everyone agreed in the blog Clean The House With Deconstruction And Reconstruction (Fri Jan 31, 2014).

I read that blog and I thought about the times I made changes in my life. Yeah, your right. The changes I made were for my better. I never realized I lost some friends, some people in my life, neighbors, and former co-workers. In the end, I had to. My life needed that change. My life couldn't satisfy everyone. --Gina Davoe, Boston, MA

I moved out of my abusive husband. I dumped my friends who were unsupportive. I quit my old job. Life is so much better now in my new city and new life. --Rachel Morris

We see deconstruction and reconstruction in major cities. Old buildings are demolished for new buildings. Local governments pass new laws and eliminate outdated laws. Out with the old and in with the new. There's nothing wrong with being old fashioned. There are some things that need to be eliminated forever. --Stanley Morris, Atlanta, GA

Don't be afraid to change. The blog you wrote put a positive thought into change. There must be sacrifices for the better. We all don't want to be on the losing end of change. That's life. It is what it is. --Will Mitchell, Memphis, TN

I agree 100%. The deconstruction and reconstruction you experienced when you grew up on that Oct day is the perfect example of people changing. We see people change in movies and television shows. We think that's not going to happen to me. I like my life. Everything is fine. There's going to be a moment in time when we are going to be those people. There's going to be crying. There's going to be anger that that person is changing and others don't like it.

The world changes daily. We can't fight it. We must be strong and take full advantage of changing. Don't resist. --Jeff Kim, Detroit, MI

There is always going to be change. Change can be positive or can be negative. Always think positive. When change is positive, then you're going to be better. [When] change is negative, then you roll with the punches and make the best out of it. I believe some people are afraid of change is because they experience negative change in the past. Again, not all change is negative. In a general sense, change is good. When I hear the word change, I think something good is going to happen. Most of the time, it does. --f12f11 via email

I Blog, You Comment Wed Feb 26, 2014

I share some comments, opinions, and feedback from my blogs for the first time. I appreciate those who took the extra effort to find an email address at my webpage Innovate Infinitely. I create a new email address for the readers to provide comments easier soon.

I blogged about me not being a dumb child titled I Wasn't A Dumb Child After All (Sat Aug 3, 2013). I said my parents were terrible teachers.

Did you watch Good Will Hunting? It's not your fault. --Pam Moore, Florence, SC

You're not the only son who has trouble understanding their parents when it comes to teaching. My parents were terrible teachers. They didn't want to teach me. Heck, they didn't want to spend bonding time with me! --Dave Hicks, Chandler, AZ

Was going back to college worth it? I asked myself the question Maybe Going Back To College Was Worth It (Mon Sep 9, 2013).

Good choice going back to college. Nobody was hiring in 2009. It took me three years to find a job during the Great Recession. What a waste doing nothing during that time. --Ron, New York, NY

Accounting was a stupid major. You should have majored in computers or technology or something related to computers. You need a CPA or a B.A. in accounting if you want a career in accounting. --Brad Mole, Akron, OH

You learned more about who you are. That's much better than any AA degree. You're a better person today. Kudos! --isee789 via email

I'm 45. My college life sucked. Today's college students have it made with the internet and Wiki. It's easier to meet new people with Facebook, mobile phones, and emails. I'm happy you were able to live like a 20 year old again. --Beth, Modesto, CA

I received congrats and phrases for celebrating my five year anniversary I grew up. The blog was Five Years Ago Today I Grew Up (Fri Oct 4, 2013).

I'm 63 years old. A month ago I took my head out my ass. Life is much better today. I reconciled with my children and apologized to my ex-wife for being a total jack-ass. My children are starting to let me see my grandchildren. If I die tomorrow, I die peacefully. --Mike Iola, Vicksburg, MS

Better late than never to grow up. Congrats big time sir. --Steve Oldermeyer, Lansdowne, PA

The power of believing is important. I found the power again in This Is My Leap Of Faith (Wed Oct 9, 2013).

I bet your life is better today, right now. -Mary G via email

I'm a middle school guidance counselor. Where are the parents today who are failing to tell their sons and/or daughters to believe in themselves? I'm seeing more students each school year lacking self confidence and self esteem. I wonder if that's related to school bullying how some students are just easy targets for these bullies. Ironically, these bullies also lack self confidence and self esteem. --Rachel Morris, Twin Falls, ID

Congratulations on finding your faith, your inner believing in yourself. Now you can do whatever you want. Find your next goals and do them with full faith in yourself. The world believes in you now my friend. --Sam via email.

The world needs faith, I think the world lost it. --iluvcookies via email.

The feedback for The Correct Growing Up Part 2 (Mon Oct 28, 2013).

It sounded like 2013 was a bad year. The downfall started before the 2013 year began. It seemed 2013 ended on a good note because you're working again. I hope you never experience another 2013 again. --Summer Paul, Fort Worth, TX

I disagree. Life is supposed to be fun. When you find a job, you're not going to regret those days of fun, carefree . . . and days you created fun memories. Once you work full-time, you life is over. You're going to cherish those days of nonworking because, if done correctly, you're going to be a stronger person with more wisdom. --Ron Baldwin via email

Those life lessons of priorities, leap of faith, being discrete, and (life) goals are not taught at schools. Your parents didn't teach you those too. I don't know who to blame. You should feel proud of yourself. I would [spend] a million bucks for those life lessons. Just remember those four life lessons for the rest of your life. You'll be fine. --Wang Quan, Seattle, WA

I could relate to not getting the job at Google. I interviewed for a junior executive position. It turned out I didn't get the job because my references were inaccurate. I never thought the hiring manager would call them. It was the first time ever somebody called my references. First time! That tells you how tough the job market is. Those companies can be picky who they want to hire. The competition is stiff. You better have everything in order for the interview. --Walter Shoemaker, San Francisco

There is no such thing as a work-life balance. We live in America. Americans like to work. Americans enjoy working. Sad, but true. --Taylor McKenzie via email

Now that's how your job search. It's a full time job. You search for a job. When you're not searching for a job, you improve your job skills. Or learn new job skills. I hope the hard work pays off by finding a job. Good luck! --tpump90 via email

I can't wait to read another growing up moment. You're so young you have more wisdom to learn. I'm reading your blogs to find out soon. --Mychelle Brandy, Philadelphia, PA
