  "If you hedge the truth yourself, it's hard to persuade others that you mean what you say when you ask for honesty from them.   If you have to talk with someone about his or her performance on the job, you may want to do it in private.   Otherwise be open in all your dealings." --- Nan Keohane (quoted in R. David Thomas 1994 _Well Done!_ pg 39)

Norm Matloff _Upon Closer Inspection Norm Says No_
Computer Science compensation down again, and other developments on OPT and H-1B
"...The latest NACE data show that this trend is continuing, in spite of the increasingly loud drum-beat from the tech [executives'] lobbyists that the universities are not producing enough Computer Science grads.   The mean new-grad CS wage actually fell slightly.   Yet you can knock on doors on Capitol Hill all day [including the doors of senators and 'representatives' whose USA citizen STEM professionals have repeatedly written and called, citing anecdotes and government and non-government statistics like those from NACE] and not find a staffer who [admits to ever having heard of NACE, nor of the many USA citizen STEM professionals out of work or under-employed in other fields...   even the same specific staffers with whom those citizens have spoken and corresponded deny awareness of reality]..."

death by despair: mortality rates for "whites" have been rising since 2000
"...Olga Khazan...describes the despair of reduced expectations -- people struggling to 'afford things like therapy, gym memberships, and recreation that isn't drugs', losing the social networks and sense of purpose that come from career employment, and worrying about their retirement years.   For better or worse, that frustration with a lost American Dream could be especially acute for middle-aged whites...   while increased health means people can expect longer lives, and longer careers, they can also be among the first victims of outsourcing, and the first to be replaced by cheaper imported labor.   This is mentioned in Michelle Malkin's new book _Sold Out_, which tells many stories of older tech professionals being made to train younger foreign replacements on their way out the door.   Whether the replacement labor is native or foreign-born, older workers with a great deal of accumulated seniority and benefits usually wind up costing more than young new hires.   None of this death by despair was supposed to happen..."

USA House appropriations sub-committee chairman John Culberson (R-TX) initiates crack-down on hand-outs to scofflaw "sanctuary" jurisdictions
"Today the chairman of the House appropriations sub-committee in charge of funding the Department of Justice, John Culberson (R-TX), put the [Obummer regime] on notice that it must take steps to rein in sanctuary jurisdictions or risk problems getting approval for its own budget requests.   In addition, Culberson announced that he will begin requiring local jurisdictions to follow federal law and stop obstructing communication with immigration agencies as a condition for receiving certain federal law enforcement funding.   In a sternly worded letter to attorney-general Loretta Lynch, Culberson said that he has a responsibility to ensure that state and local law enforcement agencies are following federal law before they can get federal grants.   He said that sanctuary policies restricting communication between local and federal officials are a clear violation of Section 1373 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.   Among the jurisdictions that have imposed such policies are San Francisco, CA, Cook county, IL, and New York City.   In addition to prohibiting local officers from communicating with immigration authorities, these jurisdictions bar federal officers from coming into jails to interview or arrest deportable criminals.   State and local sanctuary policies obstruct immigration enforcement and cause the release of criminal aliens back to the streets of American communities.   According to USAICE records that the Center obtained in a FOIA request, in 2014 more than 9K criminal aliens that USAICE was seeking to deport were instead released.   More than 2,300 of these criminal aliens went on to commit additional crimes within just a few months..."

Jens Mueller, mayor of Bad Schlema, ridiculed for telling locals to avoid walking near "migrants"/ "refugees"/ "asylum seekers"/ invaders/ terrorists/ cross-border criminals/ illegal aliens

This morning, for president of the USA, I'm liking (from best 1, to worst)  
(1) Mark Levin (or as chief-justice or attorney-general),  
(2) Jeff Sessions (or VP or majority-leader),  
(3) Michelle Malkin (or as DHS chief),  
(4) Tom Tancredo (or as DHS chief),  
(6) Ted Cruz (maybe better as president of the senate, i.e. VP, or senate majority leader, chief-justice or attorney-general),  
(7) Rick Santorum (maybe better as president of the senate, i.e. VP, or senate majority leader),  
(8) Donald Trump (maybe better as president of the senate, i.e. VP or Commerce chief, or US Trade Representative, OMB director...),  
(9) Rand Paul,  
(10) Ben S. Carson,  
(11) Mike Huckabee,  
(15) Thomas Sowell,  
(16) Ann Coulter,  
(17) Ken Blackwell,  
(18) Allen West,  
(22) Tom Cotton,  
(22) Phyllis Schlafly,  
(22) Carly Fiorina (maybe better as Commerce chief, or US Trade Representative, OMB director, or ...),  
(22) Gary Johnson,  
(22) Michael Cutler (or as DHS chief),  
(26) Jim Gilmore,  
(28) Larry Elder,  
(500) Alan Keyes,  
(500) Patrick J. Buchanan,  
(80,000) any native US citizen chosen at random from a nationwide aggregate voter registry, telephone directory or census list,  
(94,999) Marco Rubio,  
(95,000) the average German Shepherd dog,  
(95,001) the average Mastiff,  
(110,000) turkey, lettuce & tomato sandwich,  
(110,001) chicken, lettuce & tomato sandwich,  
(110,007) mutton, lettuce & tomato sandwich,  
(110,010) roast beef sandwich,  
(102,000,000) Yebbie Booosh,  
(209,000,000) Lindsey Grahamnesty,  
(210,000,000) Chris Christie,  
(309,999,000) Bernie Sanders,  
(309,999,100) Hitlery Rotten Clinton,
(309,999,100) Michael Bloomberg,
but at this stage the preference order is likely to change with the next corroborated bit of news that comes by.

Jeff Jacoby _Jewish World Review_
the extraordinary generosity of ordinary USA citizens
"...Though the good works of private foundations...draw plenty of notice, they account for only 14% of charitable giving in this country.   And just 5% comes from corporations.   The overwhelming share of that $360G is donated by individuals.   Not everyone gives, of course, but in this country those who don't are decidedly in the minority.   Nearly 7 out of 10 American households donate to at least one charitable cause each year, at an average annual rate of about $2,600.   Philanthropic giving is a quintessentially American behavior, and always has been.   It is also a radiant example of American exceptionalism...   Americans were by far the most charitable -- roughly twice as generous as Canadians, Spaniards, and the Irish, for instance, and more than 20 times as apt to give as Germans and Italians..."

Clinton, Shrub, Obummer regimes & UK government -- under a secret program called "Anarchist" -- hacked into feeds from Israeli drones and fighter jets... in order to defend terrorist regime of Iran; Israel is a "priority" target for USA government counter-intelligence operations
"...Military technology experts do not consider hacking into a video feed from a manned jet or drone to be difficult.   In 2009, for example, USA defense officials acknowledged in media reports that Iranian-backed militants in Iraq had used off-the-shelf software costing about $26 to hack the video feeds of Predator drones.   Air Force officials said that year that they were working toward encrypting all feeds by 2014.   It is not clear if that has occurred."

He goes on to quote Guardian 'journalists' who seemingly loathe their readers..."

nothing worth having, except the love of Almighty God, is free of cost
"Everything given to one person or group is paid for by somebody, and therein lies the fallacy of socialism, which in reality should be called income redistribution.   Left-wing college professors and opportunistic politicians, among others, have persuaded many of our young people that whatever money or benefits are doled out by the federal government come from an endless supply of funds that just somehow magically replenish themselves and should be used to provide a cradle-to-grave, trouble-free existence, complete with education, health care, jobs and a generous retirement package.   They never even realize that every dollar spent on a social program comes out of the pocket of someone who earned it...   I believe in charity.   Charity is a Biblical principle; it should be voluntary, and it should be given with a joyful heart..."

your dissertation begins in your first seminar
"In the early years of grad school, reading a stupendously large amount of stuff os your only (or at any rate, primary) job.   Before you write a word, make an annotated bibliography.   Begin with your primary text.   Read through it a second, third, fourth time, painfully closely.   [Get real!]   Take copious, discursive notes on everyting you find most interesting.   Then find the 5 most-cited secondary sources for your subject.   [Where IS that magic wand!]   For each one, summarize its theses, extract the 5 most relevant quotes, and write a brief response.   Do you agree?   Why or why not?   When you're done [about age 35], mine the bibliographies in those secondary sources for their most-cited sources, and repeat until you have 10 to 15 sources.   [What!?   I was already up to 400 or 500 sources by then.]   Now look through your notes for common themes, arguments, and arcs, and start shuffling everything around until it becomes as much or as little of an outline as you need to guide you in writing your first 'skeleton' draft.   [About age 40 or 55 and counting.]   Your paper should, at this point, be a hot mess.   And that might make you feel overwhelmed, uncomfortable, insecure: How will this rubbish ever become a polished piece of research?   (I'll never get it, never!)   But guess what?   That feeling?   That's what it's like to work on a dissertation...   [OTOH, virtually all of the dozens I've read appear to have been thrown together in a few hours, from start to finish, with conclusions heavily based on pre-existing opinions contrary to the research, experiments, or data listed and graphed.]...   flesh that 'skeleton' out into your first real rough draft, and then leave it untouched for at least a week-end...   Mark up the flaws.   Be merciless.   Think of the meanest faculty member you have ever known...   Does 'mean-you' hurt your feelings?   Perhaps make you want to cry?   That feeling?   Expect it every time you walk out of your dissertation adviser's office after a chapter meeting..."

350K "migrants"/ "refugees"/ "asylum seekers"/ invaders/ terrorists/ cross-border criminals/ illegal aliens to receive unemployment benefits in Germany... costs soar
"Detlef Scheele, a member of the agency's governing board, admitted that those aged over 35 do not have a good chance of qualifying for a well-paid job, while the process of integrating 'migrants' into the country's job market will be slow.   He told Süddeutsche Zeitung [SouthGerman Times] that 'we should not have too high expectations' that migrants will find work, admitting the majority will remain unemployed for at least 5 years after entering the country: 'If things go well, maybe ten percent in the first year after entry will have a job, after five years, half, after 15 years 70%.'   The majority of migrants cannot compete with the average German worker for jobs, he added, with unemployed locals having the natural advantage of speaking German as a native language...   In October, the Federal Employment Agency said that 81% of the 'migrants' entering Germany were 'unskilled'..."

EB-5 chief got a gentle grilling from senate Judiciary committee
"With the chair of the committee, Chuck Grassley (R-IA), and the senior Democrat member, Pat Leahy (D-VT), both calling for drastic reforms in the program, and senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) seeking to kill the program completely, Colucci spent much of his time at the witness table skillfully (I must admit) bobbing and weaving as he faced a barrage of tough questions about the fraud-ridden program.   The other witness, Stephen L. Cohen, associate director, Division of Enforcement, Securities and Exchange Commission, had an easier time.   He told of 19 investigations of EB-5 projects, half of which uncovered fraud, with his agency cleaning up after DHS mistakes (not his words).   He had a much more pleasant morning than Colucci, and he never had to be defensive about what SEC does in this field.   When asked about the possibility of unclean money being used to fund the EB-5 investments by aliens, Colucci kept saying that the agency was paying attention to the problem, but the 'burden of proof was on the petitioner' (the alien).   In the courtly tradition of the senate, no one said 'yes, but your agency makes the judgment on whether or not the burden is met'.   Much of the conversation was about the 'targeted employment areas', sets of census tracts that are supposed to have at least 150 percent of the nation's unemployment rate, but that are often ungainly territories that string together a Fifth Avenue site with a distant slum.   EB-5 funds are supposed to be spent in depressed areas, such as properly selected TEAs.   His response was that his agency's regulations gave the states total control of this economic mapping.   No one asked: 'Why hasn't your agency repealed that regulation?'..."

4 Chaplains Day commemorates a different kind of war-time courage
"On 1943 February 3, the Dorchester, a converted luxury cruise ship, was transporting Army troops to Greenland in World War 2, escorted by 3km Coast Guard cutters and accompanied by 2 slow-moving freighters.   On board were some 900 troops and four chaplains, of diverse religions and backgrounds but of a common faith and commitment to serve God, country and all the troops, regardless of their religious beliefs, or non-belief.   The Four Chaplains are: reverend George Fox (Methodist); father John Washington (Roman Catholic); Jewish rabbi Alexander Goode; and reverend Clark Poling (Dutch Reformed).   At approximately 00:55, in the dead of a freezing night, the Dorchester was hit by a torpedo fired by German U-boat 233 in an area so infested with German submarines it was known as 'Torpedo Junction'.   The blast ripped a hole in the ship from below the waterline to the top deck.   The engine room was instantly flooded.   Crewmen not scalded to death by steam escaping from broken pipes and the ship's boiler drowned.   Hundreds of troops in the flooded lower compartments drowned, or washed out to the frigid waters, where most would die.   In less than a minute, the Dorchester listed on a 30-degree angle.   Troops on deck searched for life jackets in panic, clung to rails and other handholds, saw overloaded lifeboats overturn in the turgid water, or leaped overboard as a last desperate hope for life.   Many with life jackets drowned when the life preservers became water-logged.   Of the 900 troops and crew on board, two-thirds would ultimately die.   Most of those who survived had lifelong infirmities and pain from their time in the icy waters.   Dorchester survivors told of the wild pandemonium on board when it was hit and began sinking.   Many men had not slept in their clothes and life vests as ordered because of the heat in the crowded quarters below.   There was panic, fear, terror -- death was no abstraction but real, immediate, seemingly inescapable.   The Four Chaplains acted together to try bring some order to the chaos, to calm the panic of the troops, to alleviate their fear and terror, to pray with and for them, to help save their lives and souls.   The chaplains passed out life jackets, helping those too panicked to put them on correctly, until the awful moment arrived when there were no more life jackets to be given out.   It was then that one of the most remarkable acts of heroism, courage, faith and love in American, and human, history took place: Each of the Four Chaplains took off his life jacket and, knowing that act made death certain, put his life jacket on a soldier who didn't have one, refusing to listen to any protest that they should not make such a sacrifice.   They continued to help the troops until the last moment.   Then, as the ship sank into the raging sea, the Four Chaplains linked hands and arms and could be seen and heard by the survivors praying together, even singing hymns, joined together in faith, love and unity as they sacrificed their lives so 'that others might live'..."

"...Former inspector-general Howard J.

Israeli hiker discovered 3,500-year-old Egyptian seal in Lower Galilee
"...Dr. Dafna Ben-Tor, curator of Ancient Egypt at the Israel Museum, identified the seal as a scarab amulet from the New Kingdom, the period stretching from the 16th-11th centuries BCE.   According to Ben-Tor, the amulet shows 'shows King Pharaoh Thutmose iii seated on the throne' alongside the monarch's name, she said.   It was Thutmose, who ruled Egypt from 1379BCE-1425BCE, expanded his empire to encompass the land of Canaan, defeating a Canaanite army in Megiddo which is memorialized in huge bas-reliefs on the walls of Karnak temple in Egypt.   The scarab in the shape of a dung beetle would have had cosmological significance in ancient Egypt and many are discovered during the course of archaeological digs.   The mountains comprising the Horns of Hattin are well known for being the site of the 1187 battle in which Salah-a-Din defeated the armies of Christian Franks, bringing an end to the first Crusader kingdom..."

  "[B]enevolence is a... virtue [but] haphazard [&] indiscriminate giving is not benevolence...   The wholesale, blind alms-giving is a fruitful cause of pauperism & crime.   While, therefore, true benevolence is a virtue, this false benevolence is a sin.   [The effect] is to encourage the least needy & least deserving among the poor to rely for their support upon the alms of others, rather than upon their own exertions.   Thus the amount of relief that might otherwise be rendered to the really worthy & needy poor is materially decreased." --- NYC Mission & Tract Society 1878 _Christian Work in NY_ pg 35 (quoted in Marvin Olasky 1992 _The Tragedy of American Compassion_ pg 89)

Obummer, immigration, and "electoral caudillismo"
"In June, the supreme court will drop an immigration bomb into the middle of the presidential campaign.   That's when it is expected to rule on the 26-state law-suit challenging [president Barack Hussein Obummer's] edict granting 'work permits' and [Socialist Insecurity numbers (SINs)] to as many as 4M illegal aliens who have USA-citizen or legal-resident children.   This legalization program proposed by [Obummer] is ostensibly temporary, but is understood by everyone to be de facto permanent; revoking 'lawful work permits' from 4 people [in rare circumstances] is easy, but from 4M is essentially impossible.   At issue is not the president's authority to set priorities for deportation.   It's not likely he will deport many of the people in question anyway; deportations from the interior have dropped by more than two-thirds since 2011.   And the much-lamented [only by the leftist media, their employers and the illegal aliens themselves] 'raids' on Central American families have resulted in a mere 77 removals so far.   Rather, the key issue is whether the Constitution's requirement that a president 'take care that the laws be faithfully executed' has any meaning, or whether he can simply ignore laws he dislikes.   This will be important for USA immigration policy, of course.   If the supreme court were to back [Obummer], future immigration decisions would become much more integrated into foreign policy, with the president having the freedom to admit (through something called 'parole') or legalize essentially anyone he wants [in any numbers he wants], without the need to consult the people's elected representatives.   But more broadly, the court's ruling could influence the evolution of the USA political system toward something more like electoral caudillismo than the separation of powers established by the founders of the republic."

"...Currently, 4M Americans turn 18 each year, but face job competition from roughly 1M new immigrants and 700M new temporary workers.   The 2013 bill would have increased the in-flow of refugees, tripled the annual in-flow of legal immigrants, and increased the annual in-flow of guest-workers, many of whom are given white-collar professional jobs sought by American graduates."
When the RINO losership passes up several procedural means to stop and reverse the Red/Dem/leftist agenda, to advance the agenda of individual liberty and economic advancement all that does is depress our base.   Ryan and his crony socialist and regressive/Red/Dem/leftist allies tried in 2013 and 2014 to pass an immigration bill that would have amnestied millions of illegal aliens and provided companies with an endless flood of cheap, young, pliant foreign labor with questionable ethics.

"Finding our life's calling emerges from a variety of experiences, good and bad.   What we take and learn from these experiences will truly expand and nourish our lives.   Our life's calling doesn't necessarily come to us suddenly.   Rather, it comes incrementally, and many common truths abound to help us find our life's calling.   Truth #1: Develop a vision in your life.   We hear this all the time, but it is true.   We must develop our path and then move along it, knowing and understanding that it might change.   It is important to 'see afar' as what you really can achieve.   Truth #2: Choose well and wisely by setting goals and keeping them.   Once your vision is in place, you need to create goals and objectives that are measurable and ones you can achieve... Truth #3: Understand that your ACT and SAT scores will only get you in the door [if that]..."

Stanley Renshon _Center for Immigration Studies_
Migration Policy Institute cheer-leads for the Obummer regime's record of refusing to conscientiously enforce immigration laws
I disagree very slightly with Stanley Renshon regarding "what most people think of when they think of deportations".   Several of the CIS researchers and writers had experience working for various immigration-related government agencies prior to the formation of DHS, and bring that experience and habits and those assumptions and terminology to bear.   Until reading CIS articles, and from relying on general dictionaries, I thought "deport" actually meant physical removal from the USA.   The whole process of pre-hearings, hearings, appeals, issuance of orders seemed minor details, mere preliminaries to the key matter of whether or not someone made the important transition from being in the USA to outside of it.   The notion that an order for someone to leave or be removed without being added to a list of those not permitted to board a plane or ship bound for any USA port, and without physically being escorted onto an out-bound plane or ship, or out through a land port to Canada or Mexico or land neighboring USA territory, and observed closely enough to be certain they actually did leave the USA was not a possibility I had considered.   It was only later that I learned the term "deportation" was more often applied to the mere process of judicial and pseudo-judicial hearings.   After immersing for a few years in the terminology and sketchy data available, I think most Americans would like to know the numbers of invaders (1) repelled trying to enter the USA at or near (within a couple miles of) borders and lake- and sea-ports (each as a separate statistic), (2) how many are turned back at air-ports, (3) how many found in the interior who voluntarily "return" themselves, (4) how many such voluntary "returns" were actually witnessed/confirmed by DHS, and (5) how many had to be forcefully "removed".   The numbers who grind through the hearing processes are kind of interesting but mostly beside the point, though probably much more interesting to immigration lawyers and those working inside DHS than the general citizenry.   The numbers of illegal aliens (counts of invaders and visa over-stayers should be separate statistics) discovered through active investigations vs. the numbers of those incidentally stumbled upon would also be interesting.   The numbers (and percentages) being detained and the numbers given notices to disappear, or otherwise released, the numbers released after posting a bond, and average and median bonds they put up, are also statistics of interest.

Rick Santorum's bizarre and disappointing endorsement of Marco Rubio
"Former senator Rick Santorum's campaign for president never got off the ground this year, but beyond his signature advocacy for the Right to Life, Santorum had 2 solid issues that at least made him worth a look to many conservative voters; opposition to amnesty for illegal aliens and opposition to increasing foreign guest-worker visas.   Despite taking up those two issues, and often attempting to present himself as an advocate for the all but forgotten interests of [the USA's] working men and women, when Santorum exited the campaign he hypocritically chose to endorse senator Marco Rubio -- the leading advocate of open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens..."
Katie McHugh: Breitbart
"...Santorum's endorsement of Rubio, whose Gang of Eight bill would grant mostly third world immigrants 33M green cards in 10 years while legalizing the estimated 11M to 30M illegal aliens present in the USA, in addition to the 59M immigrants admitted since the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act, starkly contrasts his earlier statements on protecting blue collar workers..."

Larry Elder _Jewish World Review_
clueless about free and honest trade
Larry Elder's headline applies to virtually every recent candidate for president, president, senator, member of congress, and crony socialist bureaubums at the Chamber of Commerce, US Trade Representatives, secretaries of State, etc.   But he makes a few errors.   Employment/population ratios have fallen all through the period he discusses.   Labor force participation rates (LFPRs) for men have fallen precipitously, only being masked by the increasing LFPRs of women driven into the labor force to make ends meet as prices continue to soar.   When manufacturing moved to Red China, prices for USA consumers did not fall, but profits and compensation in the executive suites and board rooms soared.   Quality of materials and workmanship dropped.   Durability -- useful lifetimes of products -- dropped, so that a product that used to be purchased once and passed down for 2 or 3 or 4 generations now must be scrapped after mere months or a very few years.   Unemployment rates for part-time and temporary employment are much lower than for real, full-time, long-term employment.   Employer investments in training, and relocation of USA citizen employees in at least some fields (notably STEM fields) have nearly disappeared as they have shifted to lower aggregate compensation contingent/ temporary/ contract/ consulting/ bodyshopping, and tried to shift training to crony socialist government-funded programs.   It is plain that the USA job markets (including manufacturing, software product development, construction...) weakened since the late 1970s.   Yes, the top corporate income extortion rate is excessive... but most of the S&P 500 and Fortune 500 don't pay any at all due to generous exemptions and deductions... while small firms are strangled by both over taxation and over-regulation.

2016-02-04 (5776 Shebet 25)
Robert J. Samuelson _Jewish World Review_
the economy is still one of, if not THE, most important problems for the voters
"...In the fourth quarter, the economy grew at a paltry annual rate of 0.7%.   Personal [income &] spending in December was flat, as [prices continue to climb, and fly-over Americans continue to struggle].   The manufacturing sector is weak, hurt by a strong dollar [not strong, really, just lagging very slightly in the worldwide devaluation race] -- which makes USA exports [relatively] more expensive -- and less oil exploration.   Individually, none of these indicators is conclusive, but they are of a piece...   Here's a report from economists Beth Ann Bovino and Satyam Panday of Standard & Poor's.   There have been, they say, 11 economic expansions -- periods when production and employment are generally increasing -- since World War II, averaging just over 58 months or nearly five years each.   By this measure, the present expansion -- which started in the third quarter of 2009 and has lasted 78 months -- is past its prime and could be near its end.   But the S&P economists doubt that [because they are overly focused on equities markets]...   [Yes, the far far far too weak] expansion could run another 5 or 6 years [but what the USA citizens need is a strong expansion with flat prices and steadily improving product quality, greatly improved job markets with more real, full-time, long-term employment and less bodyshopping, shorter durations of unemployment, higher employment/population ratios, decreased pressures from over-population, over-crowding, over-taxation, over-regulation, and government over-spending]..."

jealousy
"...Well, we must let this author know that in Jewish law, her envy is actually allowed.   Envy of wisdom is not only permitted, it is encouraged as a stimulant to greater creativity and discipline.   The Talmudic phrase above teaches its readers that the jealousy of scholars for scholarship is legitimate and grows wisdom.   This does not mean that it is a painless emotion, quite the opposite.   Intellectual smallness and self-deprecation in the face of greatness can lead to intimidation and paralysis.   But it can also be exceptionally motivating, in large part perhaps because it is abstract.   I might look at a mansion and think I could never own it, but I might not limit knowledge because it is, in essence, limitless...   How can I translate the negative emotion of envy into the positive state of inspiration to be more and do more?"
