Are You Afraid to Earn More?
Published on - April 5th, 2012 (by April Dykman)
This is a guest post from Rya Hristova. Rya had her reader story featured at Get Rich Slowly last year. She writes a Bulgarian personal-finance blog called kadebg.com.
Did you grow up in a modest family? Walking to school or taking the bus instead of having your own car? Wearing clothes your siblings have grown out of, instead of getting designer clothes? Always trying to make do or do without?
And now in your adult life, have you found reasons to pass on high-paying jobs? Saying, "Oh that job would have been boring" or "that job is not quite me"? Are you afraid to ask for a raise? Do you feel uncomfortable getting paid for fixing a computer when the owner is someone you know? Do you think that charging money for something you do somehow makes you selfish?
If so, you may have the "I'm afraid to earn more money" syndrome.
Saving versus earning
There are usually two main camps in personal finance: spend less and earn more.
You may think that the majority of people lean to the "spend less" camp. You might also think that while not everyone can earn more, "spend less" is universal advice. Anyone can spend less, right?
Actually, no.
People who are good earners like to indulge themselves. They just plain hate words like "cutting back", "save", or "budget". For earners, learning to cut back is like making an emotional eater cut back on food. It's scary.
But what's even more interesting is that savers are often afraid to earn more money.
Okay, they are not afraid to take more money if offered it by their boss. But they are afraid to make more money by starting a side income or a side business. (I should know, I've been there.)
One theory has it that saving and earning more require different skill sets. Another theory says it's not the skill set but the mindset. Savers love security and stability while earners have a taste for risk, trying new things and rocking the boat. To earners, rocking the boat is fun! (While, as you can imagine, savers are mortified.)
So we have two very good theories here to explain why savers are actually afraid of earning more money. Oh, but wait…
…It goes deeper than that
While there are many reasons for why savers are afraid of earning, that's not the whole story. Because savers are not only afraid of earning. They could also be afraid of just having a lot of money.
I'll bet you $50 that if you take a saver to the mall and tell them they can have anything they want for free, they won't choose the most expensive item. I'll raise the bet: they won't choose anything expensive. They'll just pick a regular item within their usual, affordable price range.
That's because most savers just don't know how to be extravagant. Lifestyles of the rich feel foreign to them. This scares them.
Take an Eskimo and offer them to live anywhere in the world. You'd think they'd choose to go some place much warmer, like near the equator. Or at least South Italy. But no, they are so used to the cold and ice that they probably find it beautiful. It's what they know.
Savers are no different than Eskimos
The point is that, as psychologist Barbara de Angelis says, "how we see the world — and money in particular — is a product of our psychological programming." That is, if you grow up in a home which struggled with money and in which the most frequent guest was scarcity, you are programmed to love it.
You don't believe that, do you?
Of course you don't. Instead, you're saying "Are you crazy, Raya? No one wants to be poor" or "Of course I want to be rich — who doesn't?!"
But what you say you want and what you really want deep down are not the same thing. If you've lived in a poor or middle-class home, you are bound to love it just like the Eskimo is bound to love their North Pole. It's just how nature works. You are meant to love the things that are familiar to you, and not necessarily the things that are better for you or that you think you want.
Mom and Dad in the spotlight
You know how we say kids learn by example and not by words? You can nag your kid all day about the importance of fitness, but if you just lay in front of the TV eating fast food, your example and deeds will sink in, not your words.
So if you grew up in a poor or middle-class home, you are very likely to try and duplicate that atmosphere as an adult.
And what about your mom and dad? Maybe their attitude towards money was that money is the root of all evil, or that rich people are bad, bad people.
Or maybe your parents, while living tight, talked to you about how important money is and how it probably feels great to be rich? Well, again, those are only words. You hear one thing but you see another. You see a humble home. You see a rusty car. You see paint peeling off the walls. But you associate all that with mom and dad, family, security, good times, and happiness. And then the peeling paint and rusty car seem sweet and romantic. The picture now has its own charm.
A solution?
So does this mean that you're future is set in stone? That your fate is to say you want to be rich, but act like you're running away from riches? That you will spend your life being scared of the big bucks?
Well the first step in healing your mentality is to realize all of that. Take a look back at your childhood and early years in your family. Look for "triggers" that may have set off your programming, like any occasions on which money was discussed. Do you remember any warm, bonding moments that you subtly associate with not having money, for example you and mom patching worn-out clothes while she tells you a family story or you and dad fixing the rusty car and having a laugh?
Note: I do not mean to say that you can't grow up in a modest family and be happy. I grew up like that and I was very happy. But there's no point in letting old strings keep you away from a financially secure life and abundance. You need to accept that you can have money and live rich and still keep your sweet childhood memories. In fact, they'll probably feel even sweeter — when you get rich, you can look back and smile, thinking about the long journey you've walked.
Your life is a choice, not a destiny
Finally, get up and do something about earning more money. It's really not that hard. You may not get it right the first time, but the beautiful thing is there's no limit as to how many times you can try.
After all, what's the worst that can happen? Even if you fail you will be right back at where you are now, but more experienced. And if you succeed, you will end up bringing more money in. Then more. And more.
It's ridiculous to be afraid of earning more money just because you were programmed that way when you were young. You're not a computer. You have free will.
Don't waste it.
This article is about Career, Entrepreneurship, Psychology
Difference between rich and poor is, in my view, more directly related to feelings about debt than saving more vs. earning more.
There is no easier way to earn more than to leverage. Earning more often requires more hours invested. Earning more with investments especially requires more capital, but not necessarily more time.
So, if you can borrow money, you can earn more in the same amount of time as an investor. Real estate investors seems to know this better than anyone.
Personally, I see myself as a hybrid which makes sense as my dad is a "saver" and mom is an "earner." They both grew up poor but did quite well for themselves because of their hard work.
I'll probably continue to travel between the two camps. Saving is smart but it's nice to "treat yo' self" every once in awhile too.
I'm a saver who also happens to make 6 figures. My parents have always been cost-conscious, even when they each started making way more than I make now, but I exceed them in frugality to the point where even they wonder where I got it from.
The premise of the article is true for me in the sense that I don't like having a lot of money around, but that doesn't mean I'm denying myself the benefits of a great income. I give myself a guilt-free play budget and just shovel all that money into savings and extra principal on the mortgage.
Karen, I actually do the very same with my money. Before, I didn't actually realize I was afraid to earn money. That's a subtle issue that many of us may not be aware of. After I realized I had that issue that was holding me back, I was able to overcome it. Now I earn well but shovel a lot into savings and investments.
I hate to save money. I hate frugality.
I urge to earn more and spend it all having fun.
As some others have pointed out, there is a difference between living rich and being rich. A person can live rich on credit, at least for a time. Others have a high net worth and live modestly. Most people have to make a choice between living rich and being rich. They simply don't make enough money to do both.
I'm skeptical of the notion that earning more necessarily makes for a happier life. I know of people who are on the more income treadmill. They are never happy because they never seem to be able to earn enough, even though they earn magnificent incomes. The people I know who are happiest are the ones who realize they have enough.
I worked in commission sales and was self-employed for most of my work life. My income was tied directly to my performance. I enjoyed making more money, not because I wanted to spend it, but because money was the measure of my success. Earning more satisfied my competitive nature. I saved most of those extra earnings, because I valued financial independence above material extravagance. I still do.
As for the Eskimos, I grew up on the eastern fringe of the Great Plains with trees and lakes and lush vegetation. Thirty years ago, I relocated to the desert Southwest. I love the desert, especially the mild winters.
I felt alot of what she is saying is true. It was very hard for our family to "downsize" our finances when my husband's high earning job was gone and had to take a much lower income job(cut his income in half). It has felt like eating lobster but now eating mac and cheese. Not appealing at all. We stress everyday because bills only go up or stay the same, never less and have cut out everything we can.
We have a side business. I am a saver and I am scared of having a business but not for the reasons she says. I fear having to deal with filing business taxes(which are more complicated than personal taxes), track sales tax, keep all receipts of course more bills to run the business and if business isn't good or can't sustain the outgoing bills plus now a van repair we can't afford to fix(no money can be made til van fixed), I am freaking out. But on the flip side, when you rely on the added income, it is hard to give up especially after all we have been through.
Another thing I don't agree with is being afraid to make more money as a saver. Trust me I am not afraid to make more money. I work full time and have applied to several places for an additional part time job only to be rejected.
So although she had some great points, not all do I agree with.
I'm a little bit put off by this article. I think the general tone sounds condescending, sort of like, "Hello, McFly?!" type of tone.
I think the article has too many generalizations too, like stating "People who are good earners like to indulge themselves." Can the author at least cite some links or resources to this statement?
Perhaps a better way to phrase the article is to simply state that maybe a person's upbringing, particularly if it was one of saving, can determine whether you prefer saving over earning money.
who doesn't want to be rich? i don't. i want to have enough. and i do have enough, so why bother earning more? now, earning more money for the time i put in? that's different, because i would love to have more time, but don't want to trade that for less money.
i think some of the ideas here are applicable and good, but i think the "everybody always wants to be rich" framework is a turn-off. especially for savers like myself – often we are savers *because* we don't value money for more than necessities (which can mean a lot of things, of course).
I disagree. As many have stated, sometimes exposure has the opposite affect: it is very Scarlett O'Hara to exclaim "I'll never be hungry again!" but there are as many from deep & long, affluent backgrounds that do not like what constant monetary awareness in oneself and others does to people, or how it affects how one views people on the poorer end of the scale and therefore, do not subscribe to the mindset…we are the children our parents never talk about. Call it rebellion if you like; I prefer common sense compassion.
And then there is my personal, political reason for "not wanting to earn/own more" that anyone in a post communist society should understand: I don't want to own anything our 21st c. government eyes lustfully.
I"m not afraid to earn more, I am afraid of more responsibility. So, I stay in a job that is dead -end, boring, and low pay that I loathe.
Fear of making more money is a symptom of low self-esteem. Most of the money manuals I read say you have to fall in love with money (in a good way) to have more of it in your life. Money is not evil; money is not greedy but mankind has made it so. I love money but I do not try and take it if its not given with a good heart. I respect money but I respect myself more.
I am firmly in the saver camp, while my husband is more of an earner according to this article. However, our backgrounds are almost flipped from what was described.
I grew up in a modest middle class home and grew up thinking that luxuries were silly indulgences. My parents made plenty of money, but were the "Millionaire Next Door" type, and I grew up saving all my money for college.
My husband grew up in a family that was always getting by, but was lower middle class. They put more emphasis on making more money to live a luxurious lifestyle. He grew up saving for a car, while dreaming of the nicer cars that have come along.
Today, I have little desire to pursue promotions, since I'm already saving over 50% of my salary, and I won't spend any extra money on myself. My husband, however, is more interested in climbing the corporate ladder for prestige and money both. He always is looking for a new car or gadget.
My experience is the ones that make the most get fired the quickest during a downturn.
I have always looked for jobs that paid me the most for the least amount of time. It's not about making the most in the most amount of time. It's about making the most in the least amount of time!
An article for me. Whoa. I'm that middle-class kid with the good talent and an IT job now, but the big money still eludes me, often by my own making. Working on the psychology already but it takes time.
One way I could improve my mindset was to start lending money to friends in need, and giving more to charity. I need to see the positive sides of having a lot of money to be able to allow it into my life.
I'm not afraid to make more money, but I am worried about lifestyle escalation. I would be worried that if I made more money, I would buy a bigger house and better cars, thus having more payments. Then if I lost my job, how could I get by? It seems to be that if you make less money you have less to lose.
I recently changed positions at work, which resulted in a very large raise. Right now I'm using all of the extra money to pay down debt, build up an emergency fund, and purchase some long-needed high dollar items we've been putting off (such as new glasses!). Even once my debt is paid off, I plan to use the difference to put into retirement and savings. After all, we got by on what we made before the raise, so I can continue to live on that….and that way if for some reason I lose my job my income will be easier to replace.
I've seen people with high incomes lose their jobs, and it's not pretty, especially if they were living beyond their income. I don't ever want to go there, so I think I will always be frugal and a saver no matter how much I make.
I found the point of this blog interesting because this is what Suze Orman emphasized a lot early in her career. She taught that people acquire messages about money early in their childhoods, and that those messages can help or hinder us as adults.
I am more of a saver than an earner. When I was growing up my parents (who earned an above-average income) were always saying that we couldn't afford things. Second, if I asked for something, they would point out kids who lived in poverty and tell me that I was being ungrateful and selfish for wanting something. Third, I was told not to get a part-time job as a teenager because I wouldn't be able to maintain good grades. Last, I was encouraged to get a steady job with benefits such as being a teacher.
Those messages instilled a savings mindset much more than a money-pursuing mindset in me, and those childhood messages are difficult to overcome as an adult.
Hi CERB,
I really liked your comment. It's absolutely spot-on.
I don't think most Americans are "afraid" of making more money. They're unable to because of a shrinking middle class, stagnant wages, and perhaps lack of access to education or other matters, or time constraints. I do think people are afraid of (perhaps "resistant to" is a better term) scaling back their lifestyle.
I'm a teacher. I made a comfortable middle class living, and I'm often asked why I don't take on a summer job during my "free time" (during the summers when I'm not completing work for my master's or certification, I guess). I never will.
I live within my means, and work my TAIL off during the school year, generally getting about six hours of sleep a night and working on Sundays to make sure that I am taking care of my duties as a teacher, club advisor, partner in my relationship, dog owner (laugh, but two twenty minute walks a day are no joke!), sister to a brother with some mental troubles who depends heavily upon his family, and fitting in some exercise to keep my sanity. I have no free time during the year, so my "time off" is for me to keep from burning out (as well as fit in some volunteering at the library and animal shelter). I imagine many adults in full-time positions are in the same place.
I suppose some people have extra time after their 9-5 (though I know of nobody in a full-time, salaried position who only works those hours!) to take on a part-time job. I'd rather focus on having downtime and downsizing my needs, rather than taking on more work and stress. Isn't it all about people over things? When I lived in France, I don't remember hearing of a single person who worked a part-time job in addition to their full-time job, aside from taking on an hour or two of freelancing positions. Trust me, they know how to live

Investing in the Vision: Perspectives on the UptownPosted December 6th, 2007 by Anonymous

The Uptown Theater occupies center stage in the shining history of North Broad Street in Philadelphia. From 1951 to 1978, in an ornate brick building on Broad between Susquehanna and Dauphin, the Uptown was Philly's vaunted home for the biggest R&B, Soul, and Funk acts of the day. While the building has had other incarnations, from its birth as a grand movie palace in the 1920s to its conversion into a church in the 1980s, it is its heyday as a music entertainment venue that residents most remember.

Today's Front Pages Analysis
Middle East squeezed off Page One by politics, economic mess, sports.
Have you noticed that the upcoming election, the world economic situation and the World Series and other sporting activities have pretty much squeezed U.S. involvement in the Middle East off Page One? Three Middle East stories broke during the weekend that may have missed the front page of your local newspaper.
"U.S. launches rare attack inside Syria" is the headline on the lead story of The Charleston Gazette in West Virginia, "US special forces hit Syria" is squared off at the top of American Press in Lake Charles, La., and "U.S. raid kills eight in Syrian territory," Cape Cod Times in Hyannis, Mass., tells its readers. The Daily Gazette in Schenectady, N.Y., combines the headlines of the first two dailies with "U.S. kills eight in rare attack inside Syria," while the Los Angeles Times suggests that "U.S. raid in Syria raises tensions."
The story is at the bottom of Page One of the Rochester (N.Y.) Democrat and Chronicle, The Cincinnati (Ohio) Enquirer and The Herald Journal in Logan, Utah. It leads The Birmingham News in Alabama and is the tease for "Today's Quick Read" in the Greensboro (N.C.) News & Record and is teased in the Chicago Tribune.
Then there is the U.S. threat to Iraq to make a deal or, as The Star-Ledger in Newark, N.J., puts it in the lead story "U.S. vows to cut off Iraq if no new deal." The Idaho Statesman in Boise squares off "U.S, gives 'shocking' threat to Iraq," the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel gives similar play to the story with "U.S. warns Iraq on deal" and The Columbian in Vancouver, Wash., reports, "U.S. threatens Iraq with withdrawal."
Finally, the third story. The biggest daily in this country — USA Today — leads with unhappy news for the troops abroad and their families — "Extended war tours likely to continue" through 2009 in spite of pledges made earlier. The story was picked up here and there. Indeed, out in Iowa, the Iowa City Press-Citizen plays up the story with the same headline noted for USA Today.

Now, baseball . . . we don't know what tepid means but we think it must have something to do with Fredi Gonzalez and hot sauce.

And suddenly we DON'T have a plethora of starting pitching? Hmmm. So all of our pitchers just happen to be struggling at the same time? Wow, it couldn't be the preparation, the focus, the instruction, the practice, the hard work off the mound, in between starts, the execution….nah…none of those things that coaches do. Nope it's just plain old bad luck, right? So that's the story we're going with. I'll say it again…..wow. I'm not sure that would fly in any major league city except for Atlanta.

Because the Braves are little more than a Tax Deduction for a Large Corporation (Liberty Media), the Braves will not be able to afford Roy Oswalt.

Seems like a long time ago that the chatter was about which of the Braves many "big arms" would make the starting rotation, and which might be used as trade bait to pick up other needed parts. I doubt many teams are shopping at the Braves store lately.

Farnsworth, soriano, lowe- all better after leaving braves. venters, jurjens, minor, o'flaherty- all better last yr than this yr. I probably have missed someone.
All Brave pitchers are not worse, but this is a good list.
Minor was a first round pick, and Beachy not picked at all? Is that brilliant?

Let's be honest….Would you even want this bunch in the playoffs? If you answered yes, this how it would shape out. You would get a Kelly Johnson type hitter at the trade deadline, an Icy-Hot power arm like a A J Burnette and a first round sweep….I would just assume a new Fox Sports South pre-game crew.

Sure we all wish he was there and understand the value he adds to winning games but,
if you're a real Braves fan such printed or spoken references at this point in time
are so, so short sighted. What will you be saying next year (2013)?
Like "Oh if Chipper were only here"?
Blah! Blah! Blah, etc. etc. etc.
Come on, let's forget about Chipper not in the lineup. If he plays, great. If he doesn't
there's nothing that can be done about it so move on.

We now only have one power pitcher: Kimbrel. All the others can barely top 90. Hanson is now a finesse guy. When he has to go to his fastball, he gets killed. In his last game his fastball was 88. That's 8 miles slower than when he came up to the Majors. Beachy hits about 92. Minor throws around 91 and thinks he can live high in the zone. Venters has lost velocity. Livan Hernandez isn't good for anything but batting practice. Delgado is about 93. Hudson is Hudson, as long as he gets the low strike, he's very effective, without it he's toast. But the question remains what the hell happened to our velocity? Are all these guys, especially Hanson and Venters, injured?

Cyclists are a big part of the community here in Tucson and a new bill wants to protect them.
Tucsonans share the road with cyclists all the time, a new bill wants to keep them and pedestrians safe from harassment on the road.
The bill would make it a misdemeanor to yell, throw or hit a cyclist or pedestrian. The wording of the bill is up for question though.
The bill states that a person commits harassment if the cyclist or pedestrian falls. Cyclist groups say the fear that they experience when they are harassed should be enough, even if they don't fall.
The law is making its way through the state legislature.

Michael Raymond-James has joined the cast of the action thriller One Shot, THR reports. The True Blood alum will play a key henchman to the film's main villain, The Zec, played by lovably eccentric German filmmaker Werner Herzog.
An adaptation of the eponymous 2005 Lee Child novel, One Shot stars Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher, a former Army cop who becomes embroiled in a sprawling conspiracy after five people are killed in an Indiana shooting.

A Clarksville man was arrested for making what police call unreasonable noise for months, according to the Leaf Chronicle.
Jason Eadens, 27, was arrested the day after police cited him for making noise and disturbing his neighbors at the Professional Park townhomes.
Clarksville police said Eadens was throwing a blunt object against the wall of his home so violently that it was causing pictures to fall off the wall next door.
The neighbor who reported the noise said she and her 13-year-old daughter couldn't get any sleep because of the noise.
Eadens is accused of throwing the object against the wall for 15 to 30 minutes about 10 times per day for around five months.
Eadens faces disorderly conduct charges. Bond was set at $500.

None of the Home Depots or Lowe's around me have the 3/8 braided tubing I need for my gauntlets so before I order them online, I figured I'd ask if anybody has about 3ft just lying around they'd wanna sell? No big deal but they only sell them in 10ft lengths and I don't really need all that extra hose laying around.
Shackman lights needed is pretty straight forward and I'll even settle for any alternatives you may have as well:thumbsup

Why beef is losing its flavor
Feedlots have begun giving cattle a drug that causes the animal to bulk up on muscle, losing fat in the process.
Feedlots have begun giving cattle a new drug with a curious side effect: It makes steaks less flavorful and juicy, Slate reports. But the drug, Zilmax, helps cattle bulk up on muscle in the last few weeks of their lives -- which brings in more money for feedlot owners.
Zilmax was originally created to help people with asthma, Christopher Leonard writes on Slate. But animal researchers found that it makes animals produce more muscle and less fat. That means there are more pounds of beef to sell, but the meat doesn't have that glorious marbling that turns a steak into a masterpiece on the grill.
Zilmax is sold by Merck Animal Health, one of the fastest-growing units of Merck (MRK). On its website, Merck describes Zilmax as "a feed supplement that enables an animal's natural metabolism to more efficiently convert feed energy to lean, healthy, delicious beef."
Four major meat companies control 85% of the market, Leonard writes, and they reportedly all use Zilmax now. They include Tyson Foods (TSN), JBS SA (JBSAF), Cargill and National Beef Packing Co. Cargill reportedly resisted using Zilmax for years, but finally got on board last year when everyone else was doing it.
Last year's drought made it even easier for Merck to sell Zilmax. Farmers were forced to keep herds low, in fact the size of the U.S. cattle herd fell to its smallest since 1952. But Zilmax lets a feedlot owner get more meat from the cow without having to give it any additional food and water. Leonard reported that the drug could add 33 pounds of extra meat to a cow, making the animal about $30 more valuable.
Merck Animal Health says that Zilmax doesn't cause the quality of steaks to suffer, and that people can't tell the difference between beef that has and has not been treated with the drug.
Zilmax usage has really taken off since 2011. If Merck is right, you may have not noticed a thing. But if you've wondered recently why steak suddenly seems more muscular, less fatty and a bit more bland, now you have your answer.

Hot trend for lingerie stores? Targeting teens
Now just what can those poor devils trapped living in big cities do about it? Nothing! Just eat the crap.
Those in smaller towns can buy meat from a local kill house or butcher shop. The cattle eat ggrass and hay, yum yum! You can grow your own chickens and prcess them. You will be amazed what REAL chicken tastes like. And then there's rabbits. You do not have to eat this crap.
I would like to clarify a few issues. All cattle are grass-fed during the beginnings of their lives. Ranchers would love to be able to feed their herds more grass, but they don't have grass. There is a draught on the western half of the United States. This is why herds are much smaller or non-existant. Cattle go to feedlots to receive high nutrition feed to finish off their 'bulking up'. Before that animal can proceed to becoming your steak or roast, it has a waiting period and testing to make sure any chemical residue is gone from the meat. So you are not feeding your children 'chemicals' when you feed them a beef product. Less tasty? Taste comes from the fat and marbling content of the meat. The consumer is demanding a leaner product. When you remove the marbling from the meat, it does tend to become less tender and flavorful. The use at home of marinades and rubs will enhance the flavor of the meat while preserving its leaness. It all depends on what you want to eat. So please pray for rain so there is grass to feed the cattle. And pray for the rancher who is working 24 hours a day, no matter what the weather, to care for his cattle and his land.
I will continue to harvest White-tailed deer. The meat is lean and tender with no steroids or other drugs.
Add in some wild duck and pheasant or rabbit for variety and I never have to purchase these disease causing meats.
I realize the American farmer/rancher will suffer if a lot of people follow my example but better him suffering than me.

(Reuters) - Nutritional products company Herbalife Ltd
The meeting was originally scheduled for April 24.
Herbalife shares were up about 1 percent in extended trading on Thursday.
Carl Icahn, the company's biggest shareholder with a 16.8 percent stake, has supported Herbalife in its fight against billionaire investor William Ackman.
Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management believes Herbalife is an unsustainable pyramid scheme destined to collapse. Icahn has contended that it is a good company with good management.
Herbalife gave Icahn two board seats in February 2013 and the right to raise ownership of the company to 25 percent.
The activist investor's publicly traded investment vehicle Icahn Enterprises'
Herbalife shares closed at $57.31 on the New York Stock Exchange.

What is reality ?
Did you ever think about what it is that makes reality real ?
How is our reality created ? Isn't it the perceptions our brain creates based on our sensory inputs ?
But what if we lack a sense ? How does reality change for somebody who cannot hear or see ?
Or take it even a step further, assume you are deprived of all your senses, What would reality mean in such a case ?
And last but not least, let's assume you are born without any senses. What would that mean to your reality ?
So what is reality and what are we as part of this reality ?
Closing Statement from Harald Jezek
Thanks everybody for participating in this conversation.
After 900+ comments did we solve the question of what reality actually is ? Probably not, however it was a good exercise in contemplating what it actually means when we say this or this is "real".
What most of us agreed upon is that there are different aspects to reality.
One is the reality we deal with on a daily basis and which we share to a large degree. For example we agree upon common things, such as when we see a car we all agree it's a car, a tree is a tree and a house if a house.
Although we know that this reality is created by our mind based on sensory inputs which is not only incomplete but often also faulty, it still is "real" because we share the same benchmarking (same sensory inputs, generally same mechanism how our brain interprets those sensory inputs.
Beside this shared reality we all have our own reality. This can be something simple like the perception of a taste, odor or a color.
Although we might agree that a given color is read or an odor is that of a pine, we never can know how another person actually perceives this sensory input.
Individual reality also becomes visible in our beliefs. For a religious person the existence of a God is a fact and hence part of reality while for an atheist reality is free of such a God.
Differences in this aspect of reality can also be observed in how different people get different perceptions of the same situation.
Last but not least there must be an underlying objective reality which includes the laws of nature (whether those are the ones we believe are valid today or perhaps something even deeper which we don't have discovered yet) and which exists regardless of us being here to contemplate it and regardless of our beliefs.
Next time we insist something is real, let's think whether it's real for me, for all(most) of us or real in an absolute sense.
To finish with Albert Einstein:
""Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."

Nov 1 2013: 'Isn't it the perceptions our brain creates based on our sensory inputs ?' Yes
'How does reality change for somebody who cannot hear or see ?' It depends if this is from birth or happens later. If it happens later, remaining senses sharpen up to compensate as best as possible. If it is from birth, these lacking information is not incorporated in the concept of reality, yet other senses become more sensible than 'usual'.
'...deprived of all your senses, What would reality mean in such a case ? ' Torture if exposed on long terms.
'And last but not least, let's assume you are born without any senses. What would that mean to your reality ?'
I don't know, yet the brain would not form as we know it and probably cripples as it needs sensory stimulating impulses to grow neuronal connections. Some vegetative structures may form to some degrees.
Nov 1 2013: Hi Lejan, I don't know if it is possible to survive when born without any senses.
But let's assume it is possible. How does such a person create a consciousness and a mind ? All our thoughts are results, directly or indirectly, of sensory input.
Together with our sensory perceptions and our thoughts we create our reality.
Doesn't that mean that, what we call reality, it completely subjective and just a product of our brain ? Doesn't that further mean that if there were a creature with a completely different set of senses, it would have a completely different concept of reality ?
This brings me to another question. What is the underlying absolute reality that is independent of the observer's interpretation ?
Nov 1 2013: Hi Harald,
OK, lets assume such a person stays alive 'biologically', I don't think any reality of any sort will ever form within the brain, as the brain does not form its neural network in which the concept of 'thought' and 'reality' can be formed within.
You are absolutely right in saying, that we create our subjective reality within our brains, because that is what we do. We don't even need a complete different set of sensors to come to different realities, on this different experiences in our life already do.
You can observe this even within yourself. When we fall in love, everything around us changes in interesting ways and we see beautiful details and in our every day environment. The sun shines brighter than before, the birds are singing more clearly and even a rainy day brings beautiful water to beautiful flowers. If you realize one day later that your love is not returned or even misused, the same scenario, the same sun, same birds, same flowers and rain is cast in a complete different reality than it was shortly before.
An independent form of reality to me is quite difficult to pinpoint, as even in physics we seem to alter results as soon as we start to observe certain processes, yet if this is based on the informational content of 'observation' or just on our physical presence, I don't know.
My personal 'turning point' about reality was when I came to learn about the 'blind spot' in our eyes, where the visual nerve interrupts the sensors of our retina. But we don't notice this two 'black spots' in our vision. Here I realized the 'interpolation' capability of 'reality' my visual cortex was able to 'calculate' in real time and this at a level of perfection we can not distinguish from 'real' sensor information.
The same goes for my hearing. Any MP3 algorithm calculates music down to my abilities to realize within its specific frequency spectrum and dumps the rest to make for smaller file sizes. If you will, it dumped a lot of reality without my notice.
Nov 2 2013: True, people can vary in their perceptions of reality, but still, most of us agree that a car is a car and not a tree and a rock is a rock and not a daisy.
The blind spot you mentioned is a good example how we get tricked. Although we know the trick,we can't do anything about it. Our brain fills in the blanks without us even perceiving it.
Nov 2 2013: A key issue resides in how individuals create their subjective reality within... I am not sure that certain individuals actually choose to create the subjective reality that they create within their brains it seems to me that many just follow along with the story they been feed to believe... as the saying goes: the worst blindness stems from refusing to see... question is how does one think anew idea when the ideas one thinks keeps one just thinking the ideas one thinks?

Five HNU students, accompanied by Assistant Director of the Center for Social Justice and Civic Engagement Javier De Paz and Graduate Student Assistant Maribel Lopez, participated in the Dr. Martin Luther King Day of Service on January 18. The annual event connects students with community organizations in honor of human rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
This year, students took part in habitat restoration in collaboration with Friends of Sausal Creek, an HNU community partner that works to protect the creek as a natural resource for Oakland. Activities included removing invasive species, planting native species, and watering plants.
De Paz says that the event gave students a chance to connect with nature and serve the community. "Most importantly, our students had a unique opportunity to reflect on what they are doing today to serve the common good," he said.
Students also said that the volunteer experience was rewarding.
"The experience of volunteering on (the) Martin Luther King Day of Service was much more than I anticipated," said Michelle Morgan, a senior at HNU majoring in liberal studies. "The camaraderie of working with the other volunteers was amazing and … the positive reactions from passersby(s) was truly rewarding."

AARP's annual Life@50+ National Event & Expo is off to a great start this morning with volunteer efforts throughout a sunny New Orleans, the city so devastated by Hurricane Katrina seven years ago that it is still in need of rebuilding help.
Hundreds of AARP members are visible all around the city as they arrive for the fun of the next three days, but today's kick-off is all about volunteering. Among the hundreds going out to a variety of sites are AARP President Rob Romasco and, AARP's Community Ambassador James "JB" Brown and AARP Fitness Ambassador Dan Marino, who are rebuilding homes with Habitat for Humanity; others are landscaping, constructing community gardens and working in an edible school yard, and taking part in many efforts that will leave a lasting physical impact on the beautiful Big Easy.
While they are working outside, hundreds more AARP volunteers are packing supplies, working in hunger programs, art projects and senior activities, as well as mentoring those in need.
All the volunteers will have a chance to reward themselves for a hard day's work when the expo floor in Morial Convention Center opens from 3 to 9 p.m. today for all attendees. There will be music, informational booths and tons of freebies – a good beginning to the next two days full of inspiring celebrity speakers, a Movies for Grownups filmfest, and a Saturday night concert featuring Stevie Nicks, Gladys Knight and Melissa Etheridge.

Human Trafficking
It is estimated that thousands of children are trafficked into the United States each year, and potentially hundreds of thousands of children are trafficked within the US, for labor or commercial sexual services. These children suffer physical, sexual, and emotional violence at the hands of traffickers, pimps, employers, and others. Much of the current response to human trafficking in the United States has addressed survivors as one homogenous group, without allowing for the special needs of children. These children often fall through the cracks and do not receive the protections that they are afforded under international, federal, and (some) state laws.
In response to this systemic crisis, the Center for the Human Rights of Children collaborates with a continuously-expanding network of individuals and organizations on a number of different projects:
- Legal Services Assessment For Trafficked Children (August 2013)
- Strengthening Child Welfare Response to Child Trafficking Project - New York State
- Fall 2014 Human Trafficking Course
- Children's Rights Issue Briefing - "Raising Awareness: The Hidden Epidemic of Child Trafficking in the United States"
- Legal Services Assessment for Child Trafficking Survivors
- Alternative Report to the Periodic Report of the U.S. to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child
- Building Child Welfare Response to Child Trafficking Handbook (2011)
- Outcome Document: Human Trafficking and Exploitation of Children and Youth in the United States (2012 update of 2010 Conference Outcome Document)
- Human Trafficking County Report - Promising Criminal Justice Practices in Human Trafficking Cases: A County-Level Comparative Overview (2005-2010), with special emphasis on cases involving children

mimes are a bunch of cock smoking bastards! whoever decided that we should pay people to say nothing and go around annoying people should have a hot poker shoved up their ass!
when the mime tried to pull that "i'm stuck in a box shit" i kicked him directly in the testicles.
Originating in ancient Greece, mimes (or pantomimes) are people who act out a story by moving their body. This is done without the use of speech, so in a way, it is similar to interpretive dance.
Some popular miming actions are rope-climbing, "trapped in the box", the invisible wall, and leaning on air.

A form of art, similar to Unmade Bed by Tracy Emin. However, Tracy gets paid shedloads for her shite, whereas mime artists are rightly shunned.
On the Discworld, there is a city called Ankh-Morpork which is free from mime artists. They are chained over the scorpion pit, upside down, with the ever-helpful phrase "Learn Thee Words" emblazoned across the walls.

In the sixth part of MCN's exclusive series of Stoner memories, Lucio Cecchinello, who gave Stoner his first Grand Prix ride and big break into MotoGP in 2006, talks about their time together.
"We played a big part in the early story of Casey when we worked with him for one season in 125s, two in 250s and one in MotoGP.

Farnarkle says:
Yes, Wosi, the works Honda with control tyres gave Stoner the opportunity to employ different race strategies - ie. use racecraft. If you bothered to watch in 2011, Stoner frequently did not take the lead until several laps into the races, and when he did, he opened a gap and simply maintained it; P.I. aside where he simply loves the fastest track on the schedule and rides for the joy of wringing the neck of a motorcycle faster than anybody.
However, the way he rode the Ducati was the way it demanded to be ridden. You constantly criticise his 'work ethic', for not doing enough (as you see it) laps in practice. How well did that work for Hayden in '09 and '10 who consistently did more laps everywhere than anybody, with Lorenzo a close second? Remind me of the comparative podium tallies. Rossi saw all of Stoner's data, and recently said that even after two years on the damn bike, still did not understand how Stoner could ride it so fast.
If, in order to win, you have to ride the thing so that it is technically crashing several times a lap (as Burgess, I believe, has said he could see from the data that Stoner was doing), that is on average around 60 - 65 'saved' crashes per race. Times 18 races per season: the damn bike is 'crashing' over 1000 times in a season. 5 DNFs in a season is 0.2% unsaved crashes.
Alternatively, you could ride it, as Rossi did, mainly within its limitations and finish typically 30 seconds down on the winner, because you cannot - by your own admission - ride it on the edge. And you still end up with 3 DNFs in a season, and around 5th loser.
You - and others - constantly refer to L.S '08 as the pinnacle of Stoner's 'racecraft' lacking, yet Stoner's record on the Ducati at L.S is four finishes out of four starts: one win, two seconds, one fourth. Rossi's record on the Ducati at L.S is one 6th and one DNF out of two starts. Stoner's record on the Ducati at P.I. is four wins from four starts; Rossi's (the next-best P.I. winner of all time) is one 7th and one DNF from two starts. Those are the two best 'rider' circuits on the calendar. Should I go further? Aragon: Stoner 1 win from 1 start, Rossi one 10th and one 7th from 2 starts. Qatar: Stoner 3 wins, one DNF from four starts, Rossi one 7th, one 10th from two starts.
Or should we just settle for 23 wins and one WC from Stoner on a Ducati and 0 wins, 0 WC's from Rossi on a Ducati?

By your reckoning, Farnarkle..Casey is 23 times better than Rossi?
Well done lad..you're obviously an insider?
How come he got beat..and was getting beat by Dani Pedrosa on the same bike, before he crashed himself out of contention again, if he's so shit hot?
I doesn't add up Pal does it?
Stoner, pre-kid, took lots of risks and never got smacked up.
As a Dad, his style of pushing to the extreme, was not conducive.
He lost his bottle and bailed.
The 4 aliens on the best bikes would have settled it..but he bailed.

23 divided by 0 = infinity. So that non existent figure makes Stoner not 23 times better than Rossi but infinitely better. Take heart Wosi. It only applies to their respective Ducati years.

The idea is to win..yes. But this IS a team sport. There is considerable investment and kudos at stake.
Sometimes you have to ride for points.
So you would be quite happy to have a grid full of JLo's riding half the season for points?
You and yours constantly refer to 'the show' but earlier you again took a large swipe at Casey and his 'win it or bin it attitude'. You want to make your f-----g mind up bud.
Anyone but Casey.....................just admit it.

Usual useless comment!
38 wins in 6 seasons = 6.33 Jeez, not so brilliant, really.
And how did the other aliens fare in head-to-head combat?
Lorenzo: 23 wins in 5 seasons: 4.6
Rossi: 21 wins in 6 seasons: 3.5
Pedrosa: 20 wins in 6 seasons: 3.3

The only problem with your argument, wosi, is that the 2 races most pivotal by your own account in him not winning further championships, laguna seca 2008 and sachsenring 2012 ( with a practice crash which may have been related to a poor track surface and the fortunes of racing rather than anything else also obviously influential in 2012) were not lost because he attempted to skeedaddle in front early in the race. A fairly good case can be made for him underestimating his opponents in these races and losing them because he didn't skeedaddle in front.

New Zealand shares rose, snapping a three-day slide as equity markets across the Asia-Pacific region generally gained.
Xero resumed its climb after two US funds gave the company equity capital and Chorus clawed back from its regulator-induced plunge.
The NZX 50 Index rose 16.11 points, or 0.4 per cent, to 4023.36. Within the index, 23 stocks rose, 14 fell and 13 were unchanged. Turnover was $131 million.
Xero rose 5.6 per cent to $7.60, edging back to the record high $7.75 reached on Monday, having raised $60 million selling shares to Peter Thiel-backed Valar Ventures and Matrix Capital. That's enough funds for three years at the current burn rate.
Chorus rose 2.2 per cent to $2.85, its second daily gain after a two-day, 18.5 per cent slump after the Commerce Commission released a draft determination the company said could slash annual pretax earnings as much as $160 million.
OceanaGold fell 1.9 per cent to $3.53, extending Wednesday's 12.2 per cent slump after the company unexpectedly raised $C93.3 million selling 30 million shares for $C3.11 apiece in Canada.
Fletcher Building rose 1.5 per cent to $7.97. The Reserve Bank kept its official cash rate at a record low 2.5 per cent, helping anchor mortgage rates and allowing the housing market top continue its revival.

Postie Plus Group rose 5 per cent to 21 cents after announcing it has again avoided a breach of its banking covenants and gained a 12-month extension on its facilities.

New award would reduce number of vendors so the agency can streamline its oversight
The intelligence community has set up a platform to test innovative technologies before buying them.The Office of the Director of National Intelligence said it is expanding and promoting the use of its Research and Development Center for analysts to try new information technology products on a closed, classified network. ODNI officials also want to put the testing platform on an unclassified network to enable larger tests, said Mike Wertheimer, ODNIs deputy director of analytic transformation and technology.Wertheimer said ODNI has about 100 nodes on a classified network, which already has too many users.If we run an unclassified network parallel to the classified one, I think we can bring enough people on to test tools, Wertheimer said. Once we agree on a tool, we will certify and accredit it once instead of 16 times. We can just plug the tool in for the entire community.ODNIs work using the platform started this year, but Wertheimer said he wasnt sure when ODNI would expand it to the uclassified network.

It's important to work all the major muscle groups in pairs and in this case it means doing equal amounts of back exercises along with chest exercises to help you maintain a good posture. Working two groups alternatively this way also reduces the overall time you need to work out since you don't need to rest between sets. Many guys tend to focus solely on building their pectorals and abs simply because it's an area where they can see results fast. However if their work out is not balanced with exercises that work the back muscles then they are going to have problems with their posture.
For women, doing chest exercises helps improve a sagging chest. If you work out with lightweights and a high number of repetitions, you will improve your bust line without any danger of bulking up. These exercises will only strengthen the muscles that help lift breast tissue giving you a shapelier bust. (You only build muscle mass when you work out with heavy weights and do few repetitions)
Here are three simple exercises that will help you to sculpt your upper body easily
1) The Dumbbell Bench Press - Take a dumbbell in each hand and lie down on your back on a flat bench. Let your palms face forward, keep the elbows pointed out and bring the dumbbells to your shoulder. Lift them up directly above your chest and lower them slowly. When you finish your repetitions place the dumbbells on the sides.
2) The Incline Dumbbell Chest Exercise - Begin this exercise by lying back on an inclined bench with your dumbbells. Bring them to your shoulders and lift them up so that they almost touch. Let your palms face each other. With slightly bent elbows, lower them away from each other. Repeat.
3) Push-Ups - Perform push-ups on the floor and remember to keep your back straight. You can do this by tightening your abdominal muscles.
Perform around 12 repetitions of each of these exercises during every workout to get a sculpted upper body.

A ramp leads from Plaça de Sa Font in Sa Penya up to the Portal de ses Taules , the main entrance.
A ramp leads from Plaça de Sa Font in Sa Penya up to the Portal de ses Taules , the main entrance.
There's a mellow vibe at this boho-cool restaurant set in lush gardens, 100m downhill from the church. The food is Italian with a creative slant – herby salads with garden veg, homemade focaccia, Tuscan antipasti and a terrific solomillo (entrecôte steak) with balsamic and thyme. The cafe serves great quiches, carrot cake and organic smoothies on its shady, overgrown terrace.
More traditional than trendy, this family-run operation, with two small dining rooms, harks back to the days before Ibiza became a byword for glam. It offers outstanding value, with fish dishes and steaks for around €10. It doesn't take reservations, so arrive early and expect to have other people at the same table as you.
The earliest tombs within this ancient burial ground date from the 7th century BC and Phoenician times. Follow the path around and peer into the hypogea (burial caverns), cut deep into the hill. You can descend into one interlocking series of these.
In the Baluard de Sant Jaume , an exhibition of military paraphernalia includes soldiers' cuirasses that you can try for size (and weight!) and cannonballs to heave.
Based at Marina Botafoch in Ibiza City, this PADI Five Star dive centre runs the full shebang of courses, from three-hour intro sessions to the four-day Open Water Diver (€399). It also offers speciality courses such as wreck diving and underwater photography. Equipment rental for qualified divers costs €12 per dive. Dive sites include the pristine Freus Marine Reserve.
This small display replicates the medieval Muslim city of Madina Yabisa (Ibiza City) prior to the island's fall to Christian forces in 1235. Artefacts, audiovisuals and maps transport visitors back in time. The centre is housed in what was, from the 15th century, the Casa de la Cúria (law courts). Parts of its walls were the original Islamic-era defensive walls.
At this intimate – do reserve – restaurant with its painted barrel ceiling and original canvases around the walls, you'll dine magnificently. Service is discreet yet friendly, and dishes are creative, colourful and delightfully presented. Allow time to sip an aperitivo in the equally cosy bar; at your feet is an underfloor display of antiquities recovered from the sea.
Going strong since 1973, Pacha is Ibiza's original glamourpuss – a cavernous club that can hold 3000 people. The main dance floor, a sea of mirror balls, heaves to deep techno. On the terrace, tunes are more relaxing. Cherry-pick your night: David Guetta works the decks at Thursday's F*** Me I'm Famous, while hippies groove at Tuesday's Flower Power.
If you only visit one Talayotic site, let it be Torre d'en Galmés , southwest of Alaior. Stop by the small information centre, which has an instructive 10-minute video presentation, then wander at will over the site with its three hilltop talayots, rambling circular dwellings, deep underground storage chambers and sophisticated water collection system.
Queen of daytime clubbing is ice-cool Ushuaïa on Platja d'en Bossa. The open-air megaclub gets the party started early with superstar DJs like David Guetta, Luciano and Sven Väth, and poolside lounging by a lagoon with Bali beds. Check out the Sky Lounge for sparkling sea views or stay the night in the minimalist-cool hotel (there are even swim-up rooms!).
Curving Cala de Boix is massaged by tempting waters. Back on the main road, the next turn-off leads to the low-key resort Es Figueral , with a golden-sand beach and turquoise water. A little further on, a turn-off takes you to the still-lovelier beaches of S'Aigua Blanca (clothing optional). All these beaches can be very, very busy in high season.

From the outside looking in, you can never understand the love of our Sisterhood; from the inside looking out, you can never explain it.
