Editorial: Viva la revolution?
I watched an excellent, locally-shot (to Montreal) movie yesterday; The Trotsky. Don’t want to give too much away but it’s about a guy who thinks he’s the reincarnation of Leon Trotsky. Being who he (thinks) he is, he acts a revolutionary, staging a strike in his father’s warehouse and standing up for the rights of... »
Editorial: Power
Lets do a little experiment together. Reading through Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for radicals” led me to an interesting point about connotations of important words in the English vocabulary. To try it out for yourself say these words out loud: “I want power”. Mumble them under your breath if someone is around and you don’t want anyone to... »
Editorial: What can you do?
This week I’d like to “crowdsource” the editorial. Last week I started a line of articles called What can I do?, with the intention of pointing out painless and easily adoptable ways of improving yourself and your community. Before taking that any further I would love to hear from you readers what you are already doing.... »
Editorial: Are humans evil?
My coworker and I have had this discussion a couple of times now. He firmly believes that humans are intrinsically evil; his definition of evil being that they will take action that causes others to suffer if it benefits themselves. When it’s pointed out to him that people also engage in philanthropy, animal rights and environmental... »
Editorial: Positive thinking bad for you?
I read a blog post this weekend about how bad positive thinking could be. The author argued that “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade” was a bad philosophy as making lemonade begrudgingly didn’t really increase the quality of your life. And he is right. He argues that instead of focusing on trying to remedy every bad... »
Homework: Bring good news
This week I have a homework assignment for you. It is quite simple: Select a person in your life that you are sure to meet this week and bring them good news. Then report back here. The tricky part is not to allow them to argue that what you told them is negative or irrelevant. People that... »
Going to hell in a handbasket
If you feel like the problems of today are unsurmountable, morality and ethics are declining and kids today are unruly and disrespectful then you are in good company. Anecdotal evidence suggests that every generation throughout history has felt the same way. We tend to feel like everything that has happened in history was just leading up... »
Editorial: Site changes and Twitter
As you may have noticed there have been a few changes in and around the site lately. Most notably, Seriously Good News is now on Twitter! I’d like to give a big welcome to all our Twitter followers; there is already a good community there around positive news and personal empowerment, to which I hope Seriously... »
Editorial: Tuning Seriously Good News
Hi there. This one is directed to our rapidly-growing fanbase. The site has changed slightly since it’s design and feature sets were installed so I’d love to get your feedback on how to adjust it. Are there any features you find missing? Is there anything you’ve tried to do on this site but been unable to? Is there... »
Editorial: The joy of doing it
Someone asked me recently: “Is it worth it to work 40+ hours a week just so you can get a couple of hours of TV in the evenings and take care of a house on the weekends?” Of course it isn’t. But it is worth spending 40+ hours a week on projects that interest you, while... »
