The 6 P’s in the case of a disaster striking

 

These quotes taken from here - http://www.missminimalist.com/2011/12/real-life-minimalists-heather/

1.  “And then disaster struck. Our state’s largest wildfire raged less than two miles from our home. The whole town was told to evacuate. In the few hours we had to pack, we were told to pack the six Ps: People, Pets, Prescriptions, Personal Computers, Papers, and Photos.

2.  “In the few months since we returned to our unscorched home, I’ve been slowly getting rid of more things. I’m in the process of scanning all our photographs and documents, so if we ever have to evacuate again I can just grab a couple disks.”

3.  “Great story – thanks for sharing it! May I suggest some sort of online backup service for your files, such as Dropbox or Carbonite? I use one, and it’s a relief to know that scans of my family photos are backed up off-site. Should something dreadful happen when I’m not home to rescue a local backup, my virtual stuff is still safe. (I don’t recommend storing sensitive data there, or even on the computer at all. I do keep pdfs of tax forms and the like on a flash drive in a safe deposit box.)”

12 Things I Like and Don’t Like About Christmas

 

 

Robin writes -

How do you feel about Christmas?

Do you observe it differently now compared to how you observed it when you were a child? Do you observe it at all? Did you know Christmas has pagan roots? Does that bother you?

Don’t get nervous. I’m not going to tell you what you should or shouldn’t be doing this time of year. I can’t because I don’t have it all sorted out myself.

Three notes/quotes from the article “Do you need a university degree to succeed?”

(http://www.upgradereality.com/an-insider-perspective-do-you-need-a-university-degree-to-succeed)

1.  “I'm good at a lot of things. I'm pretty good at a lot of things, but I'll be the first to tell you that I'm not an expert in any one single thing. This is as a result of me not having studied, but following a path of learning from whatever comes my way.”

2.  “What I think is that financial success is not so much dependent on your qualifications (whether you have any or not), but much more dependent on the type of person you are and the drive and ambitions that you have.”

3.  “If you're willing to work harder than others (be the first to arrive and the last to leave), if you're willing to put in time and effort to improve, then there is no doubt that you will succeed whether you have a degree or not.”
