Also, that powerful people are often psychopaths, which you can read about here: http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/96/open_boss.html

Generally people make the case that psychopaths rise high in business because they are smooth, ruthless and deceitful. And that's probably true, but here I am making a rather shoddy case that they are also helped out by the fact that they are not so afraid of letting down their friends, family, co-workers and others, which means that they are willing to take insane risks and take on immense responsibilities.

there actually was just a book released talking about how our greatest leaders were all a little bit on the crazy side, and how if you are not a little bit crazy you usually don't make a good leader. Explains a lot, dose'nt it?

I mentioned that you never stop having the school anxiety dream at a party once and everyone looked at me like I was weird. Apparently it's not as common as I thought it was.

I once dreamed that I wore clothes to school on naked day.

I'm a senior in high school and I have never had a school-based anxiety dream.

[walpurgis943]

I almost never dream. Or at least, I almost never *remember* my dreams.

[rayhs1984]

Had a drunken bar conversation about the school dream and most people said they have the dream.

I actually never have had an anxiety dream, I've had scary dreams where doc oc was chasing me down halls, and just weird dreams where i steal from religious places and then turn into spiderman and tell my mom i'm dreaming in a supermarket... But never an anxiety dream.

What could this mean? I think it might have to do with a life where from a young age i was faced with anxiety, and was forced to grow up and learn to cope and handle situations.

So maybe my brain knows what i need to dream about?

Crap, now I have to figure out how to stop being a psychopath ... I don't want to be like the leaders of the world. >.<

@moonlady3000 And I exceed into the stratophere and the Air force tries to chase me, but my stream shoots em' all, and they fall to the ground, then I realize my teacher is slipping from my grasp and her legs are being ripped apart by the stream of shit and spaggetti untilshe finally let's go and is completly engulfed in the stream. From that moment onward, I became a masked crimefighter. I risked my life again and again. I learned how to control my stream of shitty spaggetti, too.

@moonlady3000 I dreampt that I went to school, and errybody looked at me,and Then I realized I was a duck. But then I morphed into a human, then the teacher takes me out of the class to talk about my grdes and speggeti flows through my pockets, and I start shitting myself hystericly until the shit and spaggetti bind together into a steaddy stream from my pants and starts to propel me from the ground, and I accelerte and accelerate until I accidentally bring my teacher with me...
