6 Things You Should Quit Doing To Be More Successful - Forbes

6 Things You Should Quit Doing To Be More Successful - Forbes

1. Quit Stopping - Remember why you started it, then push onward. 
2. Quit Saying Tomorrow - Seriously, stop that! Delaying or procrastinating around something that you think is important means one of two things. You’re either scared to start because it means your life will change or you want it for the wrong reasons (i.e. someone else is encouraging you to do it).
3. Quit Being A Victim - if you’re choosing to remain in a place that isn’t positive, you’re victimizing yourself... Eventually, you’ll have to ask yourself whether you even want to fix the problem.
4. Quit Saying Yes - You may just need to analyze when you’re saying yes and what you’re trading for it. You might find yourself saying yes to things you don’t even care about and no to things that could make your life better in some way.
5. Quit Expecting - Don’t expect them to read your mind. They’ll only know what you need when you tell them
6. Quit Avoiding - just get up and get it done.

"In February, more than 130,000 Minnesota residents who lack health insurance became eligible for coverage when the state expanded its Medicaid program under the health care reform law. That will save the state $129 million in the first two years alone. 

Wisconsin, however, has chosen to take the path of indifference. On Tuesday, the Republicans who control the State Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee voted to reject the expansion of Medicaid, even though it would have covered 85,000 people at less cost to the state." - NYTimes.com

“There seems to be a disconnect between the tech community and the political and administrative institutions and the schools,” Zamansky explains.

Even those who don't plan on entering the tech world after college graduation can benefit from partaking in a computer science curriculum in high school. "Computer science is really fundamental," says Zamansky. “It’s a way of thinking and problem solving that’s always existed. Just like you shouldn’t leave school without being able to think like a poet in certain ways, you should be able to think like a computer scientist in certain ways." - Yahoo! Finance
