Thiel’s view of competition is interesting to say the least. He believes that the worst thing to ever have been taught to entrepreneurs is that competition is healthy. By no means would Thiel find himself promoting the ideals of competition. In his world, monopolies are the best thing in business.

received a phone call that had my mom devastated. I was too young to know what a loss in the family is at that moment, but I knew something was wrong. That day was so vivid, I remember there was so much crying and people hugging each other like their life depended on it.

Tears of Sorrow Death, I never really understood this meaning, why are they so heartbreaking when we lose someone we hold dearest. I never knew what this agonizing pain felt like until a couple years ago. The feeling, the pain and the countless day of not getting out of bed.

In the scorching hot humid summer air, the…
