Hey nomads, I just stumbled across this awesome little maker gadget. It's just an Altoids can, two AA, and some hardware. So
Perfect for charging our stuff on the go. I'll be buying one later when I get back on the road.

Thumb out.
I watched the cars zoom by, trying to forget the cold in my bare hand.
As a part of an experiment, I was testing to see if I was more likely to be picked up if I removed my hat and gloves.
Good fortune? The fact is
The more that you practice,
The harder you sweat,
The luckier you get.
“and we learned to let that which does not matter, truly slide.”
- The Narrator
Stoicism, the art of choice and decisiveness. Of being truly realistic.
It is aiming for a target, without caring if you reach it. What matters is that your shooting is getting better.
It’s always having enough, and always wanting more.

Slightly over 6 months ago (on April 15 2012), I arrived in Montreal alone, broke, and homeless.
Now I am living in my own house, I have friends and a social life, and I'm still broke.
Here is what I’ve learned this past half-year about the realities of leaving your parents’ house and living on your own for the first time.
Note: Most of this advice gears towards living with very little money. If you want a job, it will be even easier.

In the end, these things are broken down into 7 Success Skills.
The Main Lesson:
Failure is mandatory, plan accordingly. To learn in the real world, you must fail. You must test your hypothesis and often find that it was wrong (and something else was right). So give yourself the ability to learn (and fail) continuously without getting distracted by things like running out of food. This will lead to a successful hypothesis which can then lead to money through passion.
“Experimentation takes time. It takes money. And it takes room to fall and to fail.”
When was the last time you saw that gorgeous girl walk by and didn’t say a word to her. Or when you had a great idea for an adventure that could improve your life, but decided against it because it was “too risky” (aka scary)?
What if you could make it so you never had to endure that again? Never had to ask yourself “what if?” before going back to a life that’s not as awesome as you know it could be.
What if you could have the courage to get what you really wanted?
Imagine a company that makes cars sending out a message to all it's buyers saying "Hey, check out our competitor, you might like him". Imagine a car company helping another car company that is just starting, to grow faster and take more of the market.
That would be crazy. Because car selling, and most things, are a market that is fully served, and one where each person has a low appetite (aka one car and they are satisfied). If one person gets a customer, the other must lose that customer.
