Don't get me wrong. Before this plan became a lifestyle, I first had to remove the tumors of self-gratification and hubris (which dictated an unhealthy pattern of, "what's in it for me?").

Now that you have a glimpse into your own plan, a fair warning: It's not a quick fix. And it's not about you.

It took years for me to develop the understanding that life is really about giving, service, and meaningful relationships.

Good parents want their kids to stay out of trouble, do well in school, and go on to do awesome things as adults.

And while there isn't a set recipe for raising successful children, psychology research has pointed to a handful of factors that predict success.

Unsurprisingly, much of it comes down to the parents.

Here's what parents of successful kids have in common:

They make their kids do chores

Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall shared to Instagram on Friday a racist letter he said he received in the mail at his team's practice facility.

The letter was riddled with racial slurs and said that if Marshall didn't like living in the US, he should to go "back to the jungle" in Africa.

"The hatred by some against people of color is one of the reasons we are where we're at in the world today, and they wonder why we feel the way we do and take the... Читать дальше...

The executive editor of The New York Times said in an interview this week that journalists at his publication, and elsewhere, have a hard time understanding religion and the role it plays in people's lives.

Dean Baquet told NPR one of his goals after the election was to "make sure that we are much more creative about beats out in the country so that we understand that anger and disconnectedness that people feel."

"And I think I use religion as an example because I was raised Catholic in New Orleans," he said. Читать дальше...

With classics like “Mean Streets,” “Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore,” and “Taxi Driver” already behind him, Martin Scorsese was a director on the rise in Hollywood when he made the musical drama “New York, New York,” starring Liza Minnelli and Robert De Niro, in 1977.

The movie became the first critical and box-office disaster of Scorsese's career, and the pressure of making a movie of that size led to stress and drug addiction for the legendary filmmaker.

There's no time like the end of the year to take stock of your financial life.

"Information is power and a lot of people spend more time planning vacations than they do their finances or retirement," Andrew Rafal, an Arizona-based financial adviser at Bayntree Wealth Advisors, told Business Insider.

The end of the year, he says, "is a great time to take a high-level overview of what you have, both assets and liabilities" to prepare for the year ahead and... Читать дальше...

Amazon isn't really known for having the softest work culture.

And according to Shivan Kaul, a software engineer who recently interviewed for an internship position there, Amazon seems to have an equally rough online job assessment process.

Kaul, who's based in Montreal, shared his experience in a blog post this week, calling the whole procedure "surreal."

His frustration is largely aimed at Proctorio, an online proctoring company hired by Amazon... Читать дальше...

It's a Jaguar. It's an SUV. It's a Jaguar SUV.

Yes, that day has finally come. At the Los Angeles auo show in 2015, Jaguar Land Rover officially unveiled its first-ever sport utility for the US market. About a year later, we got our hands on it.

In the flesh, the vehicle, called F-PACE, was as stunning on the street as we initially thought it was on the showroom floor in LA. The name, which is meant to connect the crossover in nomenclature with Jag's F-Type sports cars, is weird. Читать дальше...

At an investor conference in December, Cliffwater managing director Chris Solarz bluntly declared that “90 percent of hedge funds are not worth their fees.”

The data supports Solarz.  According to Hedge Fund Research, with the S&P 500 up almost 8 percent through Nov. 30th hedge funds were up just 4.6 percent after fees.[1]

The Ohio Legislature passed the second bill this week that would impose some of the strictest bans on abortion in the country.

The first, passed Tuesday, is known as the heartbeat bill because it bans abortion after the fetus's heartbeat can be detected. The second, passed Thursday, would ban abortion after 20 weeks.

Both now head to Gov. John Kasich, who hasn't said whether he'd sign or veto either.

Stocks are getting a bit pricey.

All three major indexes break though their all-time highs on a seemingly daily basis, and this has pushed earnings multiples higher and higher.

The current 12-month trailing price-to-earnings ratio of the S&P 500 sits at 25.95x, while the forward 12-month price-to-earnings is roughly 17.1x, according to FactSet data. Each of these is higher than its long-term average.

In fact, based on one measure of valuation, the... Читать дальше...

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a huge fan of the tiny house trend that's currently sweeping the globe.

From shows like "Tiny House Hunters" to blogs and social media accounts of those who have taken the life-simplifying plunge, tiny houses are everywhere, and minimalism has become the buzzword du jour.

But going small is a big commitment, and not one that most people are willing or able to take.

Netflix's "Fuller House" was far from a critical favorite when the spin-off premiered last year, but it's nothing the show's creator hasn't dealt with before.

"I kind of look at bad reviews as good luck for us," executive producer Jeff Franklin recently told Business Insider. "When ‘Full House’ came on the air, the reviews were pretty vicious, as well. I think we got an 'F' from People magazine and 30 years later we’re on the cover. The reviews for ‘Fuller House’ I would say... Читать дальше...
