I've read some great articles that calls for action. Your site on world domination topics stands out. I once wrote my own testimonial for my college year book "Today (name of university I attended), tomorrow the world!" I think its high time for me to get out and do something about it.

I just wanted to post this comment before I get started on my day, because I find that stating my intentions feels kinda like a "Ready, Set, ...GO!" when done properly. I'm going to finish my thesis damnit, because I need to get out of school and get started on developing my writing career damnit -- I already have the websites (four of em ... oops? but I have collaborators for two of em, so maybe not oops.) I hate that the words "Just Do It" remind me of Nike, but I use them anyways. Oh and I'd like to recommend a pretty awesome online mindmap I've been liking a lot: Mindomo. Lots o features, and accessible anywhere!

This sums up what you've said in a nutshell. Who, when they are on their deathbed, will ever regret taking a risk to do something they've always dreamed about? It reminds me of Nike's tag line: Just Do It. “Nothing is almost always the worst thing you can do.” This sums up what you’ve said in a nutshell.

That's a great referral. I'd recommend that interested readers get both Free Mind and the free trial of MindJet to see what works best for them. Obviously, if Free Mind (which is completely free) works well, then there's no need to upgrade to any paid product. Thanks, Mark! That’s a great referral.

Keep up the good work. I just wanted to offer an alternative to the Mind Manager software that you suggested. http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Free mind is an open source alternative and free to use so I was thinking it might be a good thing for users who may not want to pay for Mind Manager. There are also links to other open source alternatives. Keep up the good work, Mark Hey Chris I just started your blog in the last week or so and I think that your goals are really inspiring.
