Patent Litigation Insurance: Do You Need It?

I recently came across the concept of Patent Litigation Insurance or Intellectual Property Liability Insurance while doing my research online about patents. I must confess that I am attracted to the idea of getting one.

You may or may not know it, but chasing someone in court for infringing on your patent is a very expensive and exhaustive process. Patent litigation cases drag on for years and costs up to millions in dollars in legal costs.

I must admit that the sheer cost of patent litigation is what first drove me to reconsider starting a business which involves products that require a patent. Being a small business owner, I don’t have the financial capability to go after counterfeiters who would wantonly counterfeit my products...

10 Tips to Better Combine Working and Studying

No matter how you look at it, an educated person is more likely to be employed rather than a person with little to no education. That’s why studying for an education is important.

Also, a more educated person is more likely to be promoted than a rival for the same position with lesser education.

But to be educated these days, you mostly need money. From paying tuition, buying books, traveling, and other costs, you need money to study.

This is the reason why more and more people today are working while studying, even those barely out of their teenage years.

But working while studying is very hard. That’s why many either stop studying altogether in order to work, or stop working altogether in order to study.

Here are a few tips to help you cope with working and studying at the same time: ...



Faster Shopping: 11 Tips To Grocery Shop In Less Time

For most of us, grocery shopping is a chore and not a fun activity that we look forward to. Imagine spending a lot of time pushing a heavy grocery shopping cart and scanning isle after isle of grocery items which are not really fun and beautiful to look at.

This especially becomes important if you have a big family or resell grocery items. You would likely have to grocery shop more than once a week. Surely, cutting down on your grocery shopping time would be an improvement in your life.

11 Sure Steps to Working Faster

Life

You’re Not Special: It’s Time to Face Reality

There are people who grow up believing they are special, that they are a step above others. This could be in the area of knowledge where you think that you are smarter than everyone else, especially the uneducated.

It might also have to do with physical attributes. There are for example beautiful women who think that they are so beautiful and attractive that they only deserve to be married to tall, handsome and good looking men.

Then there are people who because they grew up rich or became rich, think that they deserve only the company of other rich and successful people. They also usually look down on poor people or people beneath their wealth status.

Although everyone needs a healthy dose of confidence and pride in oneself, excessive confidence and belief in oneself can be a bad thing, especially if you believe that you are someone special...

There are many reasons why as adults we remain with our parents or come back to them after living by ourselves.

For example, you parents might be too old and sickly already and there’s no one to take care of them except you, so you remain with them to take care of them.

A popular reason has to do with money. Life is getting harder these days especially for young adults who are just building up their finances. Many adults these days are forced to stay with their parents for a longer period than they intended to, because of harsh economic realities.

How to Watch Out For Job Scams

Scammers these days are very sophisticated and convincing. If you think all scammers are headquartered in dingy places and are composed mainly by poor and uneducated people, think again!

Many scams these days are operated like sophisticated legal businesses with plenty of capital and are staffed by educated and even rich people. One of the targets of scammers are job hunters, knowing that they are likely desperate to find jobs, making them vulnerable to scams.

Scammers can advertise jobs in the same way honest employers do: online thru ads, job sites, and social media, or in newspapers, and sometimes even on TV and radio. They offer you a fake job, in the hopes of stealing your money and personal information.

Here are some examples of jobs scams and how to avoid them...



Fake It Till You Make It: Is It Really Alright to Do So?

There are people who fake it till they make it. We can use card players as an example. Let’s say a group of people are playing poker, would a person holding a bad deck of cards show in their face that they have a bad deck of cards?

Let’s also take the competitive world of boxing or mixed martial arts. Would a boxer or mixed martial artist signal to their opponent that they are hurting and is just about ready to be knocked out?

But these are good example of fake it till you make it. There are also bad examples like when you hide to your investors that your business which they invested in is losing money and you instead deceive them by telling them that your business is running well.

Even governments engage in fake it till you make it strategy. For example, many governments would tell their citizens that they are winning a war when it truth they are losing. This might be a gray area when it comes to ethics as government don’t want their citizens to lose faith in them.

Simply put, there are instances in life when it is permissible to fake it till you make it. The idea being that you are not causing harm to the people you are trying to convince: ...

There are many reasons why you may want to change careers. Usually, its all about money and dissatisfaction with one’s present career.

Novels Only Popular After Years or Decades of Publication

If you’ve been writing novels for sometime already or are just starting out, or are just about to start, or just thinking about it, there is a high possibility that you’re doubtful if you can make a career out of novel writing.

It is widely known that choosing novel writing as a career is not particularly popular. This is because there is already a long held notion spanning centuries already that writing novels as a career is a leap towards poverty and obscurity.

Of course, this has long been disproven by many authors like JK Rowling, Stephen King, James Patterson, George RR Martin and many other novel authors who’ve become multimillionaires and even billionaires by writing novels.

However, for the overwhelming majority of novel authors, even making minimum wage is a struggle and even almost an impossibility. This is because just like many other industry, there are only a handful of winners and the rest don’t make any money at all from their product.

This article is not intended to dissuade you from being a novel author, rather it would show you a somewhat anomaly in the industry, if you could call it that: novels that only sold or became popular years or even decades after they were published, some even after the death of the author only ...



Novels vs Short Stories: Novels Still Mostly Win

Almost since the invention of fiction books, novel length books have been the undisputed king. Novel length books are more popular than short stories of varying length, from novellas, novelette and more recently fast fiction.

But is it really in your best interest to write novel length books today when short stories of all kinds of length, even one page stories have found a market of readers? For one, short stories are faster to write which makes them ideal for authors who want to flood the market with their books.

Also, novels take time to write because they require a lot of words to be written. There is just so much temptation to write a much shorter book rather than a novel length book, especially if an author has a lot of stories in mind.

As the title suggests, I tend to lean on novels though I have currently written more novellas than novels. But having started and abandoned writing novels and writing them once more, I began to realize that there are a lot of advantages to novels though they require more work ...



Colleen Hoover: Following Her Own Rules to Success

Today, Colleen Hoover is a bonafide success. She is so famous these days that she has been added in Time Magazine’s list of the “100 most influential people of 2023. This is how popular she is.

But many in the writing circles, most especially in the US, like to point out that she is far from your average successful author. For one, she has written in many genres like romance and thrillers, which is not the conventional norm in the writing industry.

Many of her critics also like to point out that some of the subjects of her novels allegedly walk the line between what is acceptable and what is taboo, like alleged issues of glorifying abuse of women.

But whatever what you might think of Colleen Hoover, she is a success with millions of online followers and many devoted fans and book buyers. She is widely celebrated today as the most famous author, at least in the US, having sold more print books than the bible.

If you are an aspiring author, or even a professional one, it is worth studying her and most especially what makes her popular among her online fans and her book buyers. Maybe you might learn a thing or two from her ...

Checklist To Buying A Used Car Wisely

Many people can’t afford to buy a brand new car. Besides this, a lot of people don’t even have enough money to buy a used car. This is especially true for people in poor and even developing countries.

But we all know that when it comes to quality and reliability, nothing beats a brand new car. A used car, especially one that is very old, is just not reliable as compared to a brand new car. But despite this, there is a huge demand for used cars.

And we all know that a lot of used car salespersons and dealerships are taking advantage of this. In fact, used car salespersons are generally not perceived by the public as being trustworthy. This is the reason why you need to be careful and wise when buying a used car.

Buying Art Wisely that Still Makes You Happy

Although most people become more practical as they grow old, especially when their finances are tight, entertainment, fashion, art and other non-essentials still play a large part in many people’s lives.

This is because these non-essentials delight people and gives them temporary reprieve from the daily pressures and hardships of life.

There are even non-essentials like art that appreciate in value. For example, paintings by renowned artists like Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo, Donatello (pardon the TMNT pun) and so on, have been valued in the millions of dollars.

But for the most part, people just buy art to decorate their homes and maybe to try to impress other people. Whatever your purpose in buying an art is, here are a few pointers to buying art wisely while still making you happy ...

Selling Coins on eBay: Things to Consider as a New Lister

I have been collecting coins since my childhood days and I have finally decided to sell some of them. My coins collection consists of coins from various countries. I didn’t buy any of them. They’re just coins I happened to collect when I traveled to different countries.

I was also able to collect a lot of coins because we had a retail shop and most of our transactions involve coins. If you own a retail shop, no matter the size, it’s a good idea to also be involved in the coin collecting and selling business, as coins are your byproducts.

There are currently many online e-commerce sites where you can sell coins, but I chose eBay because it doesn’t charge upfront fees for listing your coins and other products. As we’ll see later, this would be very important.

Also, far from the rosy depictions of some eBay seller cum influencers online regarding how easy it is to make money on eBay selling coins, I found that the reality was different.

Here are some of the things you need to consider when selling coins on eBay: ...

Renting Out Apartments By Renting by the Rooms

There are people whose main or part business is renting out their real estate. These can be buildings, houses, apartments, garages and so on. But not many are lucky enough to have a portfolio of real estate properties.

Most people only own a single real estate property which is the reason why their real estate business is not very profitable. But there is a way where even though you own a single real estate property, you can still increase your income.

The solution is not to rent out your single real estate property to only one set of tenants, like a family. Rather, you rent out the rooms of your single real estate to multiple set of tenants.

This way, instead of collecting rent from only one set of tenants, you instead collect rent from multiple set of tenants without having to buy additional real estate properties ...

His writings were an influence to Voltaire & Jean-Jacques Rousseau and many Scottish Enlightenment thinkers. He was also an influence to American Revolutionaries.

On an international basis, his political-legal principles continue to have a profound influence on the theory and practice of limited representative government and the protection of basic rights and freedoms under the rule of law.

His theory of mind is often cited as the origin of modern conceptions of identity and the self. It figures prominently in the work of later philosophers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, David Hume, and Immanuel Kant. He postulates that, at birth, the mind was a blank slate, or "tabula rasa". Contrary to Cartesian philosophy based on pre-existing concepts, he maintained that we are born without innate ideas, and that knowledge is instead determined only by experience derived from sense perception, a concept now known as empiricism (Source: Wikipedia)...
