I have located a strong correlation between personality development and economic theories as a part of Xplore Theory. (This theory is kept as open source on EC for people to use and experiment). Following is an exercise to check if we can locate any / many points related with personality development and economics. You may try to share, when you locate.

Definition of Robbins:

• Economic is a science which studies human behavior as a relationship between ends (wants) and scares means which have altern

My life was as a freelance farm consultant travelling worldwide.  I taught English when and where I could to help local communities.     I retired from farming - though I miss it terribly - and taught English Conversation in the Khon Kaen area of Thailand.   I have recently moved to Chonburi province and hope to teach here privately - too old by Thai government regulations to teach officially !?   I would like to hear from anyone, anywhere about anything.

This incident happened in southern Siberia а few days ago. In our area, the temperature is -40 deg C (-40 deg F too) now.

Two elephants of a Polish circus were being transported in a huge truck. Then the truck caught fire.

Then the trainer took out the elephants and run around a field with them to keep the poor animals warm.

After the elephants were put into a warm garage, he gave them water spiked with vodka. And the animals howled as if they were in a jungle!

As a result, the elephants did not suf

All mornings are good..naturally & spiritually. Personally, professionally and socially they can be `good or bad`as `bad` is `absence of good`. Wishing `good morning` is sharing happiness again gaining energies. So, keep doing it to as many people as possible.

if I knew what I know now I wouldn't do those faults. But if I haven't done that faults I wouldn't know what I know now...
