How Many Chairs Can One Man Sit In?

By Adam Mundorf

Waste
Man, if there's one thing in life I despise it's waste.  People who buy too much and throw so much away.  What bothers me most is the waste of animal products.  Not only are you killing a living thing, you're wasting it's carcass and wasting money on the meat.  Waste implies that you are taking more than your fair share from the universe.  It's an extremely selfish act to waste and one that I believe comes with some karmic repercussions.  It's that mindset that you just need more and more.  More food, more money, more things, more alcohol and more drugs.  If you have food, water and shelter : How much more do you truly NEED?

How Many Chairs Can One Man Sit In?
How many chairs can one man sit in and is it virtuous to have more than your fair share?  I can see accumulating money with the sole purpose of doing great deeds with it.  At the end of the day, money gets people fed and wells built while good vibes/prayers do nothing.  The more you don't waste today, the more you can give to others in need.  If this whole thing hasn't been about leaving the world better than you found it, what has this all been about?  Just accumulating more and more and more?  I think not......

Anyone can have 'things' and money but true prosperity and wealth, is dying knowing that you left the world much much better than you found it.  As Johnny Cash once said : "You can have it all.  My empire of dirt."  It all goes to dirt in the end but good deeds and virtuous living echo through eternity.

Why Do You Want to Be Like Them? : The Realization I'm Not Conventionally Smart - Crying in the Car

  Why Do You Want to Be Like Them? The Realization I'm Not Conventionally Smart - Crying in the Car By Adam Mundorf Why Do You Want to Be Like Them? This blog will be mostly my inner monologue with some questions along the way, just for a warning.  I'm putting my thoughts down and through that process to find some 'a-ha' moments.  It's self exploration. I get asked often about why I'm comfortable where I am in life because my chosen profession isn't what most people would want.  I'm not an exactly ambitious individual but am content with my own lot in life.  People respond typically with an almost pity and that perplexes me.  Maybe it's because I have such simple wants and desires.  I value the inexpensive/simple pleasures in life.  I value peace and quiet, a comfortable bed, cute animals and running water.  I for sure get if you burdened your life with obligations i.e, family, huge debts and/or some idealistic dream of being fabulously wealt...

Company Parties : Walk Beside Me not Behind Me : The 'Christian' CEO's

  Company Parties Walk Beside Me not Behind Me The 'Christian' CEO's By Adam Mundorf 'True leading is sacrifice, not privilege.' Company Parties What a kick in the face company parties are.  No money for raises but money for lavish and extravagant parties?  Cutting hours but have money for banquets?  Seems a bit hypocritical doesn't it?  A rising tide raises all ships and all these silly parties do is drain the ocean.  Lets be honest, most people want the cash because we have bills and actual expenses that aren't solved with a pizza party or catered dinner.  We have goals and aspirations where an extra 20 bucks can provide dividends into the future.  Skip the party and distribute the cash.  Your employees will love that more than any party you could throw.  Quite frankly, it's insulting that a company could even throw a party while simultaneously cutting hours.  What a kick in the nuts.   Walk Beside Me not Behind Me A big...

  What I Learned During the Dale Carnegie Course Three Largest Lessons By Adam Mundorf What I Learned During the Dale Carnegie Course Recently, the company I work for decided to host a Dale Carnegie Course for all of its managers and leadership team.  Dale Carnegie is a course meant to enhance leadership qualities while giving you thought provoking scenarios and lessons to use in the real world.  I had a really good time, it allowed me to get out of my comfort zone and taught me three valuable lessons (there are more but I want to limit this blog to the three biggest lessons I learned).  Here they are : Lesson #1 - Adam 'Pause' Mundorf - Avoiding the Stutter Now, anyone who knows me, knows that I've had somewhat of a stutter since a young age.  I'm not talking like King George the Sixth but it's there.  It gave me grief as a childhood but as I got older, it got funnier because I knew it wasn't a disability but my brain moving entirely too fast for my mouth....
