		<title>Grow Motivation like Tomatoes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Do you have green fingers? Can you make a plant thrive? Have you ever bought a plant and forgot about it? What happened? Have you ever planted a tomato plant? Did you get tomatoes, or did it wither and die? Have you ever bought an aquarium and wounded up with fish floating upside down in green water? Have you ever hired a highly motivated person just to see them fail? Is it enough to tell the plant to grow? Is it enough to shout “Swim, damn it!” to the fish?

		<title>The best deck of cards ever!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I happened to come across a very interesting deck of cards a while back, and after finding myself drawn to this website over and over again, I decided to order one.

		<title>I just quit my job, When do you quit your job?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Are you currently sick and tired of your job? Why don’t you quit? It’s time to start considering your options before things start to go downhill, but it is hard to know when as the decision should be done before it is too late. I have been explaining the lifespan of an employee to my employees to let them figure out what they need to stay motivated and extend their lifespan at work. It is like the old Clash song, should I stay or should I go? I hope this will help you to either see what you need to ...]]></description>
