I just met an elderly woman in the hospital today. She has been bedridden for a month, in serious but stable condition. In speaking with her, the thing she longs for the most, besides company, is something to read. Books, magazines, anything positive, uplifting and informative.What I'm suggesting to all entrepreneurs is you could be doing a service in your community, by handing out magazines...

I think this a great idea. Needs a bit of refinement, but the fact you pumped this out in a day is remarkable.

There's one suggestion per card (I have the original 30 card deck).

I agree. Hours spent and performs are not synonymous.

I started the 30 day challenge yesterday and I was surprised a) how hard it was to get out of my comfort zone and b) how hard it was to actually get rejected.

It wasn't until the end of the day when I finally got a headshake of disapproval and got my rejection.

I imagine it'd be even tougher for a cute and innocent looking girl to get rejected. Good luck to her!

There is a game called rejection therapy that is all about capitalizing on chances and getting out of your comfort zone: http://www.rejectiontherapy.com . I've tried it and it works.

I've found most chances come only once, and never again. That job interview, the cute girl right beside you in the produce section (etc) are opportunities we need to instinctively take (instead of instinctively shy away from).

I'll guess that it's because many HN readers (including myself) heavily rely on Dropbox, pretty much every day of the calendar year.
