Sense of Events: Conan O'Brien Delivers Commencement Address: "Conan O'Brien Delivers Commencement Address
By Donald Sensing
Conan O'Brien Delivers Commencement Address:
'Graduates, faculty, parents, relatives, undergraduates, and old people that just come to these things: Good morning and congratulations to the Dartmouth Class of 2011. Today, you have achieved something special, something only 92 percent of Americans your age will ever know: a college diploma. That’s right, with your college diploma you now have a crushing advantage over 8 percent of the workforce. I'm talking about dropout losers like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg. Incidentally, speaking of Mr. Zuckerberg, only at Harvard would someone have to invent a massive social network just to talk with someone in the next room.'"

What are the odds?
What is the chance that a golfer will make a hole in one?
* Tour player making an ace: 3,000 to 1
* Low-handicapper making an ace: 5,000 to 1
* Average player making an ace: 12,000 to 1
* Two players from the same foursome acing the same hole: 17 million to 1
* One player making two holes-in-one in the same round: 67 million to 1
Information taken from the National Hole-in-One Registry
I'm going to give you the details of what happened last Thursday on hole No. 17 at the Hesston Golf Park. You're not going to believe them. You're going to think I'm making them up to get attention. Or that I've gotten into the liquor cabinet.
On the 212-yard par 3 hole, Greg Bontrager and Justin Pressnall, involved in match play against one another, made back-to-back holes-in-one.
Stay with me here.
Pressnall, raised in Moundridge and now living in McPherson, hit first. The wind was blowing gently toward the No. 17 green as he launched a six-iron.
It was a pretty shot, one that was definitely going to land on the green.
But Paul Voran, who was in the foursome, screamed out that it was something more than just a good shot. He said Pressnall's ball went into the cup, although it was difficult for anyone to see exactly what happened.
Clearly, everyone in the group needed a moment to contemplate. And to wonder.
Then Bontrager, a music teacher in Buhler who lives in Newton, stepped to the tee box. He and Pressnall barely knew one another from their participation in the Hesston men's club. They've never been golfing buddies and could never have known they were about to do something so incredible, so amazing, so unbelievable that they would forever be bound together.
Using a 23-degree hybrid, Bontrager hit his tee shot. Remember, now, everyone on the tee box had just gone through the emotions of what at least one of them swore was a hole-in-one by Pressnall, so the energy level was high.
Bontrager's shot, he said, mirrored the shot hit by Pressnall. The golf ball took the same path of flight and landed on the green and looked to roll straight toward the flag stick.
Could it be? Had a couple of small-town Kansas guys — decent golfers but nothing close to scratch — done the impossible? Or at least accomplished something National Hole-In-One Registry determined has at least 17 million to 1 odds?
But that's on a typical par-3, whatever a typical par-3 is. Hesston's No. 17, at 212 yards, isn't typical.
Hesston pro Scott Welsh, who has been at the course for 11 years, estimates there are three or four holes-in-one on No. 17 a year, among the thousands of rounds played.
"It's not a hole that regularly gives up holes-in-one,'' Welsh said. "I don't remember where the pin was that day, but does it really matter?"
No, probably not.
Neither Bontrager nor Pressnall had ever had a hole-in-one.
As they neared the No. 17 green, neither saw his ball on the green. The anticipation was enormous, but had to be contained. The worst thing would have been for Bontrager and Pressnell to get their hopes up, then be disappointed.
"We all jumped out of our carts and went running up there pretty quick when we noticed there were no balls,'' Pressnall said. "Greg's partner (Voran) got to the hole first and looked into the cup and saw both balls sitting in there.''
Another moment was needed.
"We never really believed it until then,'' Bontrager said. "You want it to be, but you're not going to get too excited before you actually see it.''
At that point, both golfers went a little crazy. It was so loud, they said, that golfers on nearby holes stopped to take notice. And the celebrating lasted for a good long time, a combination of euphoria and disbelief.
Mostly disbelief.
"I've always wanted to just witness a hole-in-one,'' Bontrager said. "It was just crazy.''
The two golfers might have stopped their rounds right there. Called it a night and rushed to a nearby watering hole to rehash the story over and over and over.
But there was a match to be decided. Pressnall had a one-hole match-play lead over Bontrager as they stood on the No. 17 tee and Pressnall, for good reason, probably thought he had locked up the match with his shot.
It turned into a push, however, and Bontrager won No. 18 with a par to Pressnall's bogey. It's probably justice that they tied the match.
Thursday night, Bontrager and Pressnall treated the other players in the men's league to a barbecue and drinks. Probably a few drinks, considering the enormity of their accomplishment.
"If something like this happened on the PGA Tour, I'm sure it would make the Top 10 plays,'' Bontrager said.
Instead, it happened in Hesston, Kan. Two shots heard 'round the world.
Or at least 'round Harvey County.
This is no urban legend. Years from now, when this story of back-to-back holes-in-one is being told yet again, non-believers will be shrill in their skepticism.
But this happened. It really happened.

Quit Your Job ASAP - No Regrets
If You Are Sick-To-Death Of Being Lied To And Having You Hard Earned Money Taken By Scammers...Crush Your Job
Quit your job, and you face pressures on monetary, emotional, and family levels. You are threatening the wellbeing and stability of other people. Do not quit your job, and you die a little inside every single minute of the day.
The Challenge - 51 Reasons to Quit Your Job
1. The Pay Sucks
In a weak economy, corporations are hiring - at wages less than before 9/11. Unions are being busted and desperate people will do what they have to do to feed their families.
2. Evil Boss
No boss is perfect. If your boss is abusive or unethical, it is likely time to start looking for a new job.
3. Evil Corporation
Not all companies are leaders in their industry. Not all companies are green or community conscious. Some are just evil cogs in a dying industrial age.
4. Your Co-Workers Suck
Every so often, through no defect of your own, you just bring out Biblical evil in certain individuals. Don't give in to it.
5. Idiot Coworkers
I would take evil coworkers over idiots. Let's be candid. If your fellow employees should be riding the short yellow bus to go to work, perhaps it's time to shatter the association. Quit your job now.
6. Unfriendly Environment
Some companies like Google and Amazon.com have long recognized that providing soft benefits and perks can make a work environment more enjoyable than going home. Other major corporations are so focused on profits they forget who makes the money.
7. Inadequate Resources to Do the Job
Few companies actually give you the tools you need and want to do the job well. Find another.
8. Unchallenging Work
A fine line exists between mastering your job and becoming too "comfortable" or complacent. In any job, there should be a certain amount of work that pushes you to new levels. So if you're bored to tears, quit your job, and move on, instead of sulking or becoming bitter.
9. Micromanaging
Companies compete for talent then micromanage the innovation out of them. Look elsewhere.
10. No Room for Advancement
If you are stuck and can’t move up - move out.
11. Major Change in Your Life
Changes at home often require changes in job scenery.
12. Company Looks Financially Vulnerable
If you're hearing reports of bankruptcy or impending layoffs, it may be time to check out what other options are available.
13. Better Opportunity Elsewhere
When corporations will ship your job to Ireland, India, or the Philippines in a heartbeat, loyalty is dead on both sides. Act in your own best interest.
14. Bad Workplace Romance
If you find yourself in a big, workplace-relationship fiasco. it may be time to start looking for a new workplace where you'll have a clean slate. Just resolve not to repeat the same mistake.
15. Hate Going to Work
When every minute of your commute brings out anxiety, quit your job.
16. High When You Exit Work
I hate how fast the time goes before it's time to leave for work. On the other hand, when I clock out in the evening, it's like being released from jail on a 16 hour furlough.
17. Don't Need the Money That Badly
If you are one of those rare Suze Orman believers who has an 8 month supply of cash on hand, quit your job now.
18. Depression
If you're experiencing sadness to the point where you dread getting out of bed in the morning, it may be hard to place all of the blame on a stressful job. But it could be a big part of it.
19. Dream About Work Problems
If work problems seem into your dream time, sever the cord. Your dreams are trying to tell you something.
20. Relationship With Immediate Manager Damaged Beyond Repair (PONR)
Your relationship with your manager is damaged beyond repair. Perhaps you were untrustworthy or missed work on too many days. Whatever the reason, the position in the company is irrecoverably damaged.
21. Dislike Your Corporate Culture
The culture must match your needs, whether for money or recognition or free vacations.
22. Just Don't Enjoy Your Work
Chances are you hate your job. Only you can do something about it.
23. Company Not Totally Evil, But Ethically Challenged
Some companies like McDonalds always seem to do things according to the straight and narrow. Others like Burger King or Hardees seem to look for shortcuts (not as clean, not as nice). In bad times, ethically challenged can turn to evil.
24. Your Own Bad Behavior at Work
Maybe you could not help it. Maybe they are too slow for your sense of humor. Get out before you turn into one of them.
25. Cost of Starting Your Own Business Near Zero
Technically, you could begin at the public library without a computer, phone, or website. At the very least, you should have an affiliate marketing business as backup income and to start replacing your job.
26. Burned Bridges
After you've burned your bridges with your co-workers, the reasons don't matter much. Start fresh in a new job and don’t let this situation happen again.
27. Stress Levels Are Off the Charts
Stress kills. The money cannot be worth it. Quit your job before you die.
28. Want More Responsibility
You are unchallenged, need more responsibility, and seek opportunities that just don't exist for you in your current organization.
29. You Absolutely Hate Your Job
For whatever reason, do you need more? Quit.
30. Stop Trading Time for Money
When you realize that trading time for money is stupid, you will never look at a job the same again.
31. Inconvenient Schedule
Companies use employees as pawns. They may change your schedule frequently to satisfy “the needs of the business” or send you to a remote location for weeks on end.
32. Relocation
Obviously, if you need to move, your company may not be in the new location. Even if it is, you may choose to sever your relationship anyway.
33. Change Career
If the job does not match your career plans, find one that does.
34. Gnawing Gut Feeling
Sometimes you know in your gut something is wrong. It might be the job, the boss, or just your place in the company. Listen to your gut.
35. Not Doing What You Love
While I don’t necessarily believe you have to love your job, as I get older I can see the wisdom into making your work your passion, or vice versa.
36. Physically Dangerous Job
Let someone else take the physical risks. Use your brain and computer to make a living.
37. Health Issues
It may not be your company’s fault, but if your health is being negatively impacted by your job, quit your job and save your health.
38. Hostile Workplace
No man or woman should tolerate an openly hostile work environment. Not even for a day.
39. Promises When Hired Not Fulfilled
When the job you fill is significantly different from the one promised, you should look to leave immediately.
40. No Recognition
Some crave recognition. If you are one of these employees and you are not getting what you need, it's time to change jobs.
41. Authority v. Blame
It's amazing how managers seize authority and credit, until things go wrong. Blame flows downhill. Don't accept it.
42. Long Commutes
Long commutes add to your stress levels and effectively eliminate free time from Monday to Friday.
43. No Compensation for Ideas That Help the Company
If you have great ideas for your business niche, quit your job and put them in place to crush your former employer (always follow any non-compete agreements).
44. Corporate Politics
I don't mind office politics so much. I have played the game to gain promotions over better qualified and longer tenured coworkers. If you lost out at your company, move on.
45. No Flexibility
Many jobs - security, call centers, factories - are time driven. Human thought and ingenuinity not needed.
46. No Love
People are being asked to do more and more for crappy pay. If not, ten unemployed men and women are lining up to replace you.
47. No Safety
No job is safe or secure. Don't go looking for love in all the wrong corporate places.
48. No Regrets
If you were to quit your job today, would you have any regrets about tasks undone or promises unmet? If not, move on.
49. Eliminate Stuff
Most of what you own are liabilities, not assets. Liabilities equal expenses. Assets put money in your pocket.
50. You, Inc. - Do It Better
You, Inc. was a famous book from years past. Never has it been more necessary.
51. Sovereign Individual
Only since the industrial revolution has the notion of a job taken hold. Systems break work down into smaller and smaller mind-numbing units.
To crush your job, you need to begin with the right attitude and finish with a simple system to get you started on the path to an online income that will set you free.

In a weak economy, corporations are hiring - at wages less than before 9/11. Unions are being busted and desperate people will do what they have to do to feed their families.
2. Evil Boss
No boss is perfect. If your boss is abusive or unethical, it is likely time to start looking for a new job.
3. Evil Corporation
Not all companies are leaders in their industry. Not all companies are green or community conscious. Some are just evil cogs in a dying industrial age.
4. Your Co-Workers Suck
Every so often, through no defect of your own, you just bring out Biblical evil in certain individuals. Don't give in to it.
5. Idiot Coworkers
I would take evil coworkers over idiots. Let's be candid. If your fellow employees should be riding the short yellow bus to go to work, perhaps it's time to shatter the association. Quit your job now.
6. Unfriendly Environment
Some companies like Google and Amazon.com have long recognized that providing soft benefits and perks can make a work environment more enjoyable than going home. Other major corporations are so focused on profits they forget who makes the money.
7. Inadequate Resources to Do the Job
Few companies actually give you the tools you need and want to do the job well. Find another.
8. Unchallenging Work
A fine line exists between mastering your job and becoming too "comfortable" or complacent. In any job, there should be a certain amount of work that pushes you to new levels. So if you're bored to tears, quit your job, and move on, instead of sulking or becoming bitter.
9. Micromanaging
Companies compete for talent then micromanage the innovation out of them. Look elsewhere.
10. No Room for Advancement
If you are stuck and can’t move up - move out.
11. Major Change in Your Life
Changes at home often require changes in job scenery.
12. Company Looks Financially Vulnerable
If you're hearing reports of bankruptcy or impending layoffs, it may be time to check out what other options are available.
13. Better Opportunity Elsewhere
When corporations will ship your job to Ireland, India, or the Philippines in a heartbeat, loyalty is dead on both sides. Act in your own best interest.
14. Bad Workplace Romance
If you find yourself in a big, workplace-relationship fiasco. it may be time to start looking for a new workplace where you'll have a clean slate. Just resolve not to repeat the same mistake.
15. Hate Going to Work
When every minute of your commute brings out anxiety, quit your job.
16. High When You Exit Work
I hate how fast the time goes before it's time to leave for work. On the other hand, when I clock out in the evening, it's like being released from jail on a 16 hour furlough.
17. Don't Need the Money That Badly
If you are one of those rare Suze Orman believers who has an 8 month supply of cash on hand, quit your job now.
18. Depression
If you're experiencing sadness to the point where you dread getting out of bed in the morning, it may be hard to place all of the blame on a stressful job. But it could be a big part of it.
19. Dream About Work Problems
If work problems seem into your dream time, sever the cord. Your dreams are trying to tell you something.
20. Relationship With Immediate Manager Damaged Beyond Repair (PONR)
Your relationship with your manager is damaged beyond repair. Perhaps you were untrustworthy or missed work on too many days. Whatever the reason, the position in the company is irrecoverably damaged.
21. Dislike Your Corporate Culture
The culture must match your needs, whether for money or recognition or free vacations.
22. Just Don't Enjoy Your Work
Chances are you hate your job. Only you can do something about it.
23. Company Not Totally Evil, But Ethically Challenged
Some companies like McDonalds always seem to do things according to the straight and narrow. Others like Burger King or Hardees seem to look for shortcuts (not as clean, not as nice). In bad times, ethically challenged can turn to evil.
24. Your Own Bad Behavior at Work
Maybe you could not help it. Maybe they are too slow for your sense of humor. Get out before you turn into one of them.
25. Cost of Starting Your Own Business Near Zero
Technically, you could begin at the public library without a computer, phone, or website. At the very least, you should have an affiliate marketing business as backup income and to start replacing your job.
26. Burned Bridges
After you've burned your bridges with your co-workers, the reasons don't matter much. Start fresh in a new job and don’t let this situation happen again.
27. Stress Levels Are Off the Charts
Stress kills. The money cannot be worth it. Quit your job before you die.
28. Want More Responsibility
You are unchallenged, need more responsibility, and seek opportunities that just don't exist for you in your current organization.
29. You Absolutely Hate Your Job
For whatever reason, do you need more? Quit.
30. Stop Trading Time for Money
When you realize that trading time for money is stupid, you will never look at a job the same again.
31. Inconvenient Schedule
Companies use employees as pawns. They may change your schedule frequently to satisfy “the needs of the business” or send you to a remote location for weeks on end.
32. Relocation
Obviously, if you need to move, your company may not be in the new location. Even if it is, you may choose to sever your relationship anyway.
33. Change Career
If the job does not match your career plans, find one that does.
34. Gnawing Gut Feeling
Sometimes you know in your gut something is wrong. It might be the job, the boss, or just your place in the company. Listen to your gut.
35. Not Doing What You Love
While I don’t necessarily believe you have to love your job, as I get older I can see the wisdom into making your work your passion, or vice versa.
36. Physically Dangerous Job
Let someone else take the physical risks. Use your brain and computer to make a living.
37. Health Issues
It may not be your company’s fault, but if your health is being negatively impacted by your job, quit your job and save your health.
38. Hostile Workplace
No man or woman should tolerate an openly hostile work environment. Not even for a day.
39. Promises When Hired Not Fulfilled
When the job you fill is significantly different from the one promised, you should look to leave immediately.
40. No Recognition
Some crave recognition. If you are one of these employees and you are not getting what you need, it's time to change jobs.
41. Authority v. Blame
It's amazing how managers seize authority and credit, until things go wrong. Blame flows downhill. Don't accept it.
42. Long Commutes
Long commutes add to your stress levels and effectively eliminate free time from Monday to Friday.
43. No Compensation for Ideas That Help the Company
If you have great ideas for your business niche, quit your job and put them in place to crush your former employer (always follow any non-compete agreements).
44. Corporate Politics
I don't mind office politics so much. I have played the game to gain promotions over better qualified and longer tenured coworkers. If you lost out at your company, move on.
45. No Flexibility
Many jobs - security, call centers, factories - are time driven. Human thought and ingenuinity not needed.
46. No Love
People are being asked to do more and more for crappy pay. If not, ten unemployed men and women are lining up to replace you.
47. No Safety
No job is safe or secure. Don't go looking for love in all the wrong corporate places.
48. No Regrets
If you were to quit your job today, would you have any regrets about tasks undone or promises unmet? If not, move on.
49. Eliminate Stuff
Most of what you own are liabilities, not assets. Liabilities equal expenses. Assets put money in your pocket.
50. You, Inc. - Do It Better
You, Inc. was a famous book from years past. Never has it been more necessary.
51. Sovereign Individual
Only since the industrial revolution has the notion of a job taken hold. Systems break work down into smaller and smaller mind-numbing units.
To crush your job, you need to begin with the right attitude and finish with a simple system to get you started on the path to an online income that will set you free.

All You Have to do is Ask Altucher Confidential
All You Have to do is Ask Altucher Confidential: "Two close boyhood friends grow up and go their separate ways. One becomes a humble monk, the other a rich and powerful minister to the king.
Years later they meet. As they catch up, the minister (in his fine robes) takes pity on the thin, shabby monk. Seeking to help, he says:
“You know, if you could learn to cater to the king you wouldn’t have to live on rice and beans.”
To which the monk replies:
“If you could learn to live on rice and beans you wouldn’t have to cater to the king.”"

Marriage
As long as the government provides 1,300+ benefits to married couples, knuckleheads like Ann Coulter will defend it.
Amplify’d from lewrockwell.com
that warmongering demagogue of Conservatism, has declared war
on Ron Paul. Naturally, she hates Paul because he stands for peace,
free markets and the rule of law. Coulter hates of all of these
things since she loves war, the police state, and the destruction
of the constitution in pursuit of untrammeled political power
for Conservative nationalists. In other words, like most Conservatives,
she loves socialism, although she prefers to cloak her socialism
in words like "national greatness," "secure borders"
and "family values."

Why Govts Always Win
Until the masses reach the tipping point.
Amplify’d from www.lewrockwell.com
What we have
in common is the need to protect one another’s inviolability
from governmental force. When we understand that the woman
being groped by a TSA agent stands in the same shoes as our wife,
mother, or grandmother; when the man being beaten by a sadist
cop is seen, by us, as our father or grandfather, we become less
willing to evade the nature of the wrongdoing by invoking the
coward’s plea: "better him than me." The state owes
its very existence to the success it has had in fostering division
among us, a topic I explored in my Calculated
Chaos book. Divide-and-conquer has long been the mainstay
in political strategy. If blacks and whites; or Christians and
Muslims; or employees and employers; or "straights"
and "gays"; or men and women; or any of seemingly endless
abstractions, learn to identify and separate themselves from one
another, the state has established its base of power. From such
mutually-exclusive categories do we draw the endless "enemies"
(e.g., communists, drug-dealers, terrorists, tobacco companies)
we are to fear, and against whom the state promises its protection.
By becoming fearful, we become existentially disabled, and readily
accept whatever safeguards the institutional fear-mongers impose,
. . . all for our "benefit," of course!

That Stupid Palin, Getting Her History Right | The American Catholic
That Stupid Palin, Getting Her History Right | The American Catholic: "Here’s a letter written by Paul Revere himself:
“I observed a Wood at a Small distance, & made for that. When I got there, out Started Six officers, on Horse back,and orderd me to dismount;-one of them, who appeared to have the command, examined me, where I came from,& what my Name Was? I told him. it was Revere, he asked if it was Paul? I told him yes He asked me if I was an express? I answered in the afirmative. He demanded what time I left Boston? I told him; and aded, that their troops had catched aground in passing the River, and that There would be five hundred Americans there in a short time, for I had alarmed the Country all the way up. He imediately rode towards those who stoppd us, when all five of them came down upon a full gallop; one of them, whom I afterwards found to be Major Mitchel, of the 5th Regiment, Clapped his pistol to my head, called me by name, & told me he was going to ask me some questions, & if I did not give him true answers, he would blow my brains out. He then asked me similar questions to those above. He then orderd me to mount my Horse, after searching me for arms.”"

Quit Your Job Right Away - Sovereignty Without Regrets
According to the Paul Simon song, there must be 50 ways to leave your lover. For a job you don't love, there has to be more. I do not accept that we were put on this Earth to labor like animals, provide money for the desires of others, or to enter into voluntary servitude.
The Challenge - 51 Reasons to Quit Your Job
1. Serious Undercompensation (the pay sucks)
If you've been paying your dues for years, you may be caught in a dead end situation. If you know you've earned a raise or promotion, have asked for it, but have been denied repeatedly, consider your alternatives.
2. Evil Boss
Some bosses go beyond incompetent boobs to actual evil. Run, don't walk. Run for your life. Even if you are paid well, you did not sign on for constant abuse.
3. Evil Employer
Your company is ethically dead. The managers lie to customers about the quality of the products or when the product will ship. Maybe the company is stealing information from competitors to survive. The company knows what it is doing is wrong, and so do you.
4. Evil Coworkers
If you work with them, your fiscal and physical health may be at peril. Do you truly want to spend one third of your time on this planet resisting evil. Quit your job and save your soul.
5. Idiot Coworkers
With older, overqualified workers taking jobs they never thought they would have to resort to, the risk of working with short bus refugees grows daily.
6. Unfriendly Environment
Some companies like Google and Amazon.com have long recognized that providing soft benefits and perks can make a work environment more enjoyable than going home. Other major corporations are so focused on profits they forget who makes the money.
7. Inadequate Tools to Do the Job
Few companies actually give you the tools you need and want to do the job well. Find another.
8. Unchallenging Work
Some jobs are just too boring for humans. My first job was as a lifeguard. Sitting in a chair watching people swim at the pool is mind numbing unless some new bikini clad talent shows up.
9. Micromanaging
Companies spend a fortune interviewing candidates for jobs, performing background checks, and drug testing. The goal is to choose reliable, competent employees. Then they micromanage every minute of your day. Look elsewhere.
10. No Room for Advancement
Family business. Company dying. Outsourcing overseas. There could be hundreds of reasons for no advancement in a company.
11. Major Change in Your Life
Your life situation has changed in a big way. Perhaps you have gotten married or had a baby, and the salary no longer meets your needs. Quit your job and move on to better opportunities to support your family.
12. Company Looks Financially Vulnerable
If your manager says that everyone's job is safe, run to CareerBuilder.
13. Better Opportunity Elsewhere
Loyalty was a reality years ago when opportunities abounded and companies were loyal to their employees. Ford employees did not quit their jobs to work for GM.
14. Bad Workplace Romance
If you find yourself in a big, workplace-relationship fiasco. it may be time to start looking for a new workplace where you'll have a clean slate. Just resolve not to repeat the same mistake.
15. Hate Going to Work
No free man or woman should hate going to work when they have a choice.
16. High When You Exit Work
I hate how fast the time goes before it's time to leave for work. On the other hand, when I clock out in the evening, it's like being released from jail on a 16 hour furlough.
17. Don't Need the Money That Badly
If you are one of those rare Suze Orman believers who has an 8 month supply of cash on hand, quit your job now.
18. Depression
Depresson is complicated, but job stress can be a big contributor.
19. Dream About Work Problems
If work problems seem into your dream time, sever the cord. Your dreams are trying to tell you something.
20. Relationship With Immediate Manager Damaged Beyond Repair (PONR)
If your bad relationship with your supervisor has reached the point of no return, quit your job.
21. Dislike Your Corporate Culture
Perhaps your company is egalitarian and you want the best parking spot for salesman of the month.. Equal treatment can grate for those who shine.
22. Just Don't Enjoy Your Work
You've stopped having fun at work.. No matter what changed, when you hate going to work in the morning, it's time to quit your job.
23. Company Not Totally Evil, But Ethically Challenged
Companies that are ethically challenged can turn evil in difficult time. Beware.
24. Your Own Bad Behavior at Work
Maybe you could not help it. Maybe they are too slow for your sense of humor. Get out before you turn into one of them.
25. Cost of Starting Your Own Business Near Zero
In the Internet age, you can start an affiliate marketing business online with absolutely no investment.
26. Burned Bridges

28. Need More Responsibility
You are unchallenged, need more responsibility, and seek opportunities that just don't exist for you in your current organization.
29. You Simply Hate Your Job
Hating your job and hating going to work are different yet related. Do you really need 50 other reasons?
30. Difficult Workplace
Co-workers, supervisors, and a negative office environment can make your job unbearable. In fact, they can make your workplace a place where you simply don't want to be. Once you have exhausted every option, you may need to make a decision to quit your job.
31. Inconvenient Schedule
Modern companies will be based on results, not a schedule, with you deciding if you will work 9:00 to 5:00 or at 3:00 in the morning.
32. Relocation
Obviously, if you need to move, your company may not be in the new location. Even if it is, you may choose to sever your relationship anyway.
33. Change Career
If the job does not match your career plans, find one that does.

40. No Recognition

41. Authority v. Blame
It's amazing how managers seize authority and credit, until things go wrong. Blame flows downhill. Don't accept it.
42. Long Commutes
As gas prices rise, the long commutes are harder and harder to finance. When you add your commuting time to your hours on the job, you may find your salary after taxes to be much less than you anticipated.
43. No Compensation for Ideas That Help the Company
If you have great ideas for your business niche, quit your job and put them in place to crush your former employer (always follow any non-compete agreements).
44. Corporate Politics
Where office politics should guide you to quit your job is if it interferes with your ability to do your job, or if you are not allowed to play the game.
45. No Flexibility
Many jobs - security, call centers, factories - are time driven. Human thought and ingenuinity not needed.
46. Can't Feel the Love
In bad economic times, most companies ditch the love. If you want it, you must create your own.
47. No Security

To crush your job, you need to start with the right mind-set and conclude with a simple system to get you started on the path to an online income that will set you free.
