TOP IDEA: Tim Ferro Don’t Bother Reading Linchpin! I made it through 108 pages of this worthless, psychobabble garbage before giving up and returning the book to the library.... Read the rest of my review on my blog: http://www.timferro.com/wordpress/archives/225

I did read through the entire book, but only through sheer stubbornness of refusing to quit. The absolute only thing I really agreed with from his entire premise: passion is over-rated. Instead of doing what you love, you should love what you do.

Angela Hi! This is my first post on Travel addicts! I'm planning a trip to Rome next summer, in August, in the DIY way... and any word of advice could come handy! I'd love some scoop on the treats and tricks of the Italian capital, if any of you've been there. Thanks!

I recommend this book above all else: http://www.amazon.com/Rick-Steves-Rome-2010/dp/1598802836/ . Trust me, that's the book to get. The other place I would tell you that's a "must see" is the Borghese Gallery, http://www.galleriaborghese.it/ . You need to make a reservation but it's totally worth it. The gallery and surrounding gardens are awesome.

I think people are what makes a country (or empire) great, and almost everything I have read about China so far focuses on its market, military, and manufacturing power but not on people (or individuals) - I am wondering...

Jim Parker If a college graduate has relevant and proximate work experience, but it won't easily fit on a page... what would you suggest? One page, however, the font is small or may omit important accomplishments or skills? or Two pages, concise, and gives appropriate amount of attention to work experience and accomplishments?

I've struggled in the past to get my resume to fit on a page. Try to quantify your achievements and don't be so verbose.

Numbers speak loudly than words. Plus, they're less characters and will help you stay within the one-page guidelines.

Though I'm not sure that either is going to happen in 2010. I've never actually been to Mexico besides TJ, and that's more of a realistic country for exploration in 2010.
