A Word On iPhones And Discipline
In the current macroeconomic and hole in pocket climate I feel the need to buy an iPhone 3g s. It is an alluring purchase, a lofty christmas before christmas.
When I think about all of the prevailing wisdom on america, and of the people who live there, I know that we have it in us to rise out of this and move on to new heights of productivity, happiness, and consumption. It is going to take an utter reorganization of american life around protecting the sanctity of nature, of respecting one another as human, and learning new ways to solve problems. Call it old fashioned american entrepreneurship, but whatever it is about the melting pot recipe that has worked in the past, we have to perfect it for global competition. I think it calls for discipline to accomplish this task, both in our work and in our lives– and yes that means impulse purchases like iPhones too.
It is the responsibility we shoulder as people to accomplish the goals we set before ourselves. Discipline is a habit that must be built systematically, and i’d love to hear any suggestions in the comments.
