LOL we should poll those youtube titles...

"How to be the Boss of Your Desires"... lol that just doesn't even make sense. Being the boss of my own company, be the boss of my financial planning & decisions, etc... if it said that it would makes sense but, like, who else would be in control of my desires? By definition they are mine!

by definition you are theirs

OIC... passions of the mind, etc... still a semantically terrible title.

how to be the boss of yr own desires is weighted the same as how to shoot professional videos, theres is nothing that cant be solved via webinar

The Secret seem like "people are easily manipulated if you tell them what they want to believe, and you can sell lots of DVD's"

I've always thought that an "America's Best Motivational Speaker" would be reality show gold. Winners are determined by who can gain the most followers with special weekly challenges for motivating/coaching addicts, jobless, etc.

this just all makes me want to start a spoof life coaching/personal growth website (that will "accidentally" be taken seriously and make me a wealthy cult leader)

@clearpathtofollw I am a straight woman, so I don't see how it's gay, and it is a practical observation, I bet his load is delicious, with all the natural raw juice and fruits and veggies he eats, and water, I bet it is super clean and fresh. An enjoyable out come for any lady who gets to go down on him.

i would support you on this. barring that, though, this whole thread is rife for TV series treatment. like "party down" but, you know, a couple of guys who go around to different offices to give motivational seminars.
