Wagner's MBA Law of The Now

Wagner's MBA Law of The Now (a ripoff of Buddhism and Mindfulness): Sometimes it helps to ground ourselves by being aware of the exact moment and time in which we find ourselves... count your breaths if you must... we've never been here and now before in this exact place and time, and we will never be here and now again (e.g., time, geographic location, planetary motion, and galactic motion, etc.). Now is also the only moment we can change or control. The past is gone. Learn from it though. The future is too far out of reach. Hope for it though. Still, we only have "The Now"... Explore it. Cherish it.

Wagner's MBA Law of Age-Appropriate Halloween Costumes

Wagner's MBA Law of Age-Appropriate Halloween Costumes: It is always interesting to see what other people think is an appropriate Halloween Costume.

Wagner's MBA Law of Loaning Money

Wagner's MBA Law of Loaning Money: I often refuse an opportunity to loan money as follows... "You see, I would like to help you, but I am a poor scholar, teacher, and counselor... When I was young, I had to choose between being handsome or being rich... I chose being handsome... and I hope that was the right choice."

Wagner's MBA Law of Publicizing Terrorism (Restated)

Wagner's MBA Law of Publicizing Terrorism (Restated): Please stop publicizing terrorists by name. How many times must I say this? If you want to hurt terrorism, STOP PUBLICiZING IT! Terrorists create terrorism, which is an event design to generating press and word of mouth. The free press and broadcast media are glorifying terrorist organizations and making it easier for them to spread their messages of hate, and helping them recruit and raise funds. Stop mentioning terrorist organizations by name and you'll thwart terrorist brand development.
