Dedicated to the memory of Jerry Garcia…

On August 9, 2001, the world lost one of the most talented musicians and insightful individuals to walk this earth - Jerry Garcia, a phenomenal solo artist and leader of The Grateful Dead.

The influence of his lyrical genius lives on - this feature is one small testament to that fact. As I listened to the lyrics of the Dead tune “Eyes of The World,” I was inspired to write this feature. You can find all the words of this song on this site http://arts.ucsc.edu/GDead/AGDL/eyes.html

The particular line that made me think of writers is -

“Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world.”

I believe this phrase applies to how influential writers can be on the public, in history and just in general.

We usually write about what we see (through our eyes). Our experiences serve as a catalyst for creating stories, poetry, books, scripts, newspaper and magazine articles and columns and more.

Writers can write from almost any location (the world). From big cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago etc… to isolated places like the mountains of Montana, backwoods of Maine or deserts of Arizona - writers can live anywhere they want.

Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. We do not fail overnight. Failure is the inevitable result of an accumulation of poor thinking and poor choices. To put it more simply, failure is nothing more than a few errors in judgment repeated every day.

On their own, our daily acts do not seem that important. A minor oversight, a poor decision, or a wasted hour generally doesn’t result in an instant and measurable impact. More often than not, we escape from any immediate consequences of our deeds.

If we have not bothered to read a single book in the past ninety days, this lack of discipline does not seem to have any immediate impact on our lives. And since nothing drastic happened to us after the first ninety days, we repeat this error in judgment for another ninety days, and on and on it goes. Why? Because it doesn’t seem to matter. And herein lies the great danger. Far worse than not reading the books is not even realizing that it matters!

Finding the websites

Before you can apply for fast online loans, you have to know where to find them.

Luckily, this is where your friendly neighborhood search engine comes in. Using search engines to look for specific loan keywords is a good first step, since the search results are ranked based upon how trusted of a site it is by the search engine and how relevant the result is to what you were searching for.

Care should be taken when considering applying for fast online loans from the lenders from advertising blocks on the result page, however after all, those ads show up because the company that they represent paid to have them included in the advertising listing, not because they are the best match to your search terms.

Inspecting the lender’s site
