Why You Should Admire Frank Sinatra
It's easy for younger generations to dismiss Frank Sinatra as just a singer only their grandparents or great-grandparents liked. When I was a member of the younger generation, I did the same thing. My grandparents listened to Sinatra and Dean Martin, as well as Tony Bennett and Ray Charles, and if they listened to it it couldn't be cool. That music may not be your taste, and that's fine. But you shouldn't dismiss the man himself or his impact on music, culture, and even politics and history. Here are a few things you may not know.

Larry Flynt
You must know by now that I am intrigued by legends of the past and bad asses, and what is a bad ass? Depends on who you ask, but anyone who utilizes the law to the fullest extent and yields in a lot of dough without breaking any is a legit bad ass in my book. God bless Larry Flynt!

However, few people are aware that a small number of Dragon Ball series fans are so enamored with the character of Goku that they view him as an incarnation of God; thus, Gokuism was founded.

Who Invented Scrabble?. Top Story - July 2022.
The grid of perfectly scaled squares hinting of an underlying respect for structure, the meticulously planned numbering system, the lettered tiles, and even the wooden letter holder that resembles a sample of ceiling molding might be clues to the profession of the inventor of Scrabble. Alfred Mosher Butts, born in Poughkeepsie, New York in 1899, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1924 with a degree in architecture and soon after joined the New York firm of Holden, McLaughlin & Associates. In 1931, however, suffering from the devastating economic effects of America's Great Depression, the architectural firm was forced to shut its doors, and Butts, like the majority of Americans, was laid off from his job.

What is entrepreneurship? How to start a business? What is the essence of entrepreneurship?
As we begin to learn business wisdom and master the business journey, we must be clear about one important concept: what is entrepreneurship? Maybe my interpretation is not what you already know as common sense. At that time, I did not know what I was doing was called entrepreneurship, nor did I know what positioning, products and marketing concepts were. We Just did it, so the entrepreneurship at that time was really confused and more like trying to prove something. What is entrepreneurship? When "mass entrepreneurship and innovation" once became a national strategy, when a group of fresh graduates entered the business world with their parents' money, when countless young people started companies and factories, when entrepreneurship has become a flood, we have forgotten the essence of entrepreneurship. Especially for students, it seems like you can't succeed without starting a business, and if you don't start a business, you're embarrassed to meet people. Before starting a business, ask yourself: what is starting a business? And what is the purpose of entrepreneurship? Almost everyone regards starting a company and running an entity as a boss as entrepreneurship, and the connotation of entrepreneurship is far from being so narrow as we imagine. For example, in 2005, a couple of teachers in the United States died childless and were found to have a staggering $857 million when their estate was cleared. Where did their wealth come from? It turns out that in 1960 they put their only $50,000 in savings into a company stock and left it untouched for 45 years. It's called Berkshire Hathaway and its chairman is Warren Buffett.
