Lifestyle Acuity

The degree to which individuals are able to live their life the way they choose to. To work at what they love to do, to be in a relationship with or married to the man or woman they want to be married to, to live where and how they want to live, etc.

After relocating to another state in the nation, working hard to achieve a higher mental and physical state and doing so, Charlie has been able to raise his Lifestyle Acuity far more and faster than he imagined. The only thing he has not found is an acceptable female companion, but he is optimistic and patient.

emowinpoint

The point where emotion overrides reason.

Confronting a recalcitrant student who when I told her she misspelled the word "concision" by writing "consition", I unintentionally took myself to and beyond the EMOWINPOINT, the point when emotion overrides reason. That common human error contributed to my being fired about one hour later from my job as a university instructor.

salaried slave

A funny way to call an employee.

Slave owners figured out that they can exploit human beings more profitably by tricking them and enslaving them covertly. The trick works like this. Employers post a help wanted ad, interview candidates and hire the ones they see will be more productive. They pay each employee a salary. By hiring a worker employers, some of who are in reality slave masters, have shifted the burden of maintaining a slave from themselves to the employee because now the employee is the one who must obtain his or her own food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. That is what salaries are for, and that's why some 'Help Wanted' ads should really be called 'Slave Wanted' ads, some employees a 'salaried slave,' and some employers 'slave masters.'

error-free

Error-free is a way to live, work, and play by doing what is necessary to not commit any errors.

Though one cannot always determine immediately after executing a specific action whether it was a success, a failure, or an error, time usually answers that question. Living error-free demands greater concentration and skill, is advantageous and well worth it.

identity transference

A marketing method that shifts the consumer's identity from the consumer to a product to get the consumer to buy it and love it.

Identity transference is a way that marketers distort reality by getting potential car buyers to come to feel that they can become the car they want to buy. After they buy it, they feel they are one with it, and happily spend money to maintain it in the best condition (sometimes better than themselves).
