Structure the World so You Can Win

It takes a lot of confidence, but I believe I can structure the world so I can win. This is a new belief based on an article I read. The theory is heresthetics and William H. Riker created the concept in 1962 at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin. The title of the essay is "The Theory of Political Coalitions." Wikipedia has several entries on Riker. But I base my discussion on these entries plus an article in the Society for Technical Communication's Journal from August, 2005. The benefits are obvious. The skill involved is to be focused on the goal you have set. Or, "keep your eyes on the prize."

It's Ben's birthday

Ben, I think you are wonderful. I believe in you. Happy birthday! Here's my advice: Structure the world so you win. That's my plan, and you can do it, too.
Here's how. Here are 100 ways to structure the world so you win.
1. Embrace the suck. There's a benefit to every drawback, if you can just look close enough.
2. Have several short-term goals, as well as a long-term one. When you achieve your long-term goal, you have another plan to go to immediately. The space between goals is a vast vacuum. You need to fill the void as soon as it appears.
