		<description><![CDATA[An old friend from my days interning at Forbes gave me some interesting advice today. As a well-established manager, she would have been able to make a very good argument for starting to seriously look at a career, putting down professional roots, building up my financial profile and really setting myself up for the long, steady path to independence and security. Instead, she pretty much recommended I risk it all and travel, try to work in some other countries, because, after all at my age and in this economic climate, there isn't much to lose. Take the big risks while you're young.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=khaledallen.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10214589&amp;post=742&amp;subd=khaledallen&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the last few years, I've spent a lot of time finding ways to be healthier without dedicating huge chunks of time or money that I don't have. While a lot of the success I've come across has been the result of some pretty big changes, I have found that the most basic and important things come from small changes. Increased energy levels, better sleep, better digestion, feeling calmer and more relaxed, less pain, and better relationships have all been the result of the smaller, cheaper alternations I've made to my life. When these things fall off, problems occur. Here are some really small changes you can make to improve your life in noticeable ways.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=khaledallen.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10214589&amp;post=736&amp;subd=khaledallen&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Would you rather make $100 with a small possibility of losing $75 instead, or would you rather make $25 with no potential to lose anything? If you are like most people, you would select the second option. This despite the fact that there is potentially greater benefit to the first option. This is because people will rather hold on to what they have now than risk losing it for something better. We worry that we'll never get back to what we had. This phenomenon is called Loss Aversion in the fields of decision-making and economics.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=khaledallen.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10214589&amp;post=728&amp;subd=khaledallen&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine recently wrote a Facebook note in which he mentioned some thoughts on conversations. Specifically, he maintained that it was better to have few conversations, because most people aren't very good at having conversations. Most people, states my friend, will be quick to follow random tangents in any discussion, never really making any headway on the issue you'd like to discuss. In the end, they are more concerned with their own agenda than participating in the conversation at hand.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=khaledallen.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10214589&amp;post=727&amp;subd=khaledallen&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I spent a great deal of my childhood at a wonderful summer camp in Northern Minnesota, where it seemed like everyone was a potential friend and all the friends you made were true friends. How great would that be in real life? So often the friends we make have agendas, or only hang around us at certain times and with certain people. There is often a sense of insincerity, or somewhat impure friendship. But at Summer Camp, the friends you made at horseback riding were just as good for sailing (assuming they could sail), and you could eat with them, camp with them, play games with them, or just sit and watch the lake together. There is a strange and wondrous ease about camp friends that is so rare and hard to find elsewhere.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=khaledallen.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10214589&amp;post=720&amp;subd=khaledallen&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have talked a bit about Martial Arts before. I feel that they have a great ability to bring out a person's greatest potential because they do such a great job of synthesizing the mental and physical aspects of an individual. I have always felt that competition brings out our best selves, and what sport is more purely competitive than fighting? The stakes become so high that they demand the most well-developed and well-rounded athletes.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=khaledallen.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10214589&amp;post=708&amp;subd=khaledallen&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Modern technology is a wonderful thing. It gives us access to more information than we could possibly ever hope to read and understand. It connects us to people all over the world and lets us share ideas and conversations with them on a whim. It puts the entirety of human knowledge at our fingertips. As a college student, I was infinitely grateful for the fact that I could do almost all my research and class readings online without having to spend hours in the bookstacks looking for texts. At the click of a button, I could bring to my attention the latest psychological research and in the same breath skim an article on current events.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=khaledallen.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10214589&amp;post=700&amp;subd=khaledallen&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I used to follow a very strict diet, and was religious about exercising. Rain or shine, groggy or energetic, sugar cravings or not, I followed my program. Ultimately, it turned out my particular program was a little intense and led to some problems, and so I have lately abandoned it for a more intuitive approach, meaning I do things when I feel like it, meanings I often don't do what I'm supposed to do. At first, this felt liberating, but I've begun to realize that I have given up something very important by letting go of my confining routines: my freedom.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=khaledallen.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10214589&amp;post=694&amp;subd=khaledallen&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have lately started reading the very inspirational Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind, by Shunryu Suzuki. This book is a collection of essays on Zen and it is both calming and enlightening to read. One of the overriding themes is the fact that Zen is not something external or alien to us. It already exists within us, in the nature of our minds, bodies, and spirits. Enlightenment is not found in some faraway spiritual realm, or even down the road. Rather, it is right there in your grasp. It is your grasp.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=khaledallen.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10214589&amp;post=685&amp;subd=khaledallen&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
