It seems like there is a flood of different acne treatments out on the market these days. I am amazed at how things have changed since I was a teenager. In fact, I am kind of jealous of the fact that kids today can choose from a variety of different treatments. It’s no longer a hassle to find a decent treatment for acne.

Alas, that is the way things go as we become more advanced. An advancing economy means advancing technology and that technological advancement is in all sectors of the economy.

Now is the time to really start focusing on where you want to be in the new year. I talked about building up your personal brand. It just doesn’t stop with building up your personal brand. Now is the time to focus on building up your business and building up your family. You can do it all and much more if you start devoting an hour a day to building up those things that are important.

I am willing to bet that an hour a day spent on building up your personal brand, your business and your family will be more valuable than an hour spent at your job. If you don’t believe me, experiment yourself.

I think that with the election just two days away, we would do well to heed and listen to the words of Ezra Taft Benson concerning income redistribution and income inequality. I have a very nice talk he gave in 1977 concerning just this topic. I am not the only one who thinks it is very timely. In fact, it’s quite easy to find on Youtube.

I think I should remind everyone of one thing. We live in a republic. In a republic, we choose leaders who represent us and we send them to Washington, DC, not to vote the way we want them to, but for them to vote according to their conscience. This is why it is so important that we choose leaders who hold dear the same values that we do. If you choose a leader who is opposed to your values, you will only be disappointed with how he or she leads.

With just two days to go before election day, we stand on the cusp between some very major changes in the our way of lives. Our economy is not doing very good at all and with the all of the current problems in the world, the next president is very important in how we cope with it all. I don’t think there has been this important of an election in years. It might even go back all the way to the 1980 election.

I also have a gut instinct that this will be a big surprise election in how individual states vote. I think at least some of the polls will be wrong. I want to be on the record as saying that it is possible for McCain to win California. It certainly isn’t outside the realm of possibilities.

In 48 to 72 hours, we will know much more so my actual predictions might as well wait.

Times are tough. I have been talking to friends lately who look like they are looking into a deep financial abyss. They are genuinely scared of what could await them financially. It’s frightening for them to say the least.

Granted, I know the economy is not doing very good and there are going to be tough times ahead, but I am starting to wonder if the media has this all blown out of proportion or not. Are things really as bad as the media is letting on? I frankly don’t know, but what I do know is that all of this fear mongering is playing into their hands and their goals.
