Author Jason Jack on 'Success Envy'
Dear author Jason Jack, what do you think about other people's success?-
Success Envy.
We've all seen it. It may just have been an off handed comment or a full blown diatribe. It may be full of spite and it may not even be envious at all. But it will always be negative.
I define success envy as "any comment or action lobbied against a person/institution who has achieved something". It may not be a comment made out of envy at all but a judgement (but success judgement just didn't have a good ring...

You Gotta Learn Something! (7 Things I Learned This Week)
Yo, interneters!
Author Jason Jack
here to let you know 7 things I learned this week. As the saying goes, learn something everyday. Because, you gotta learn something, right?
What I learned during the week of September 28th-October 4th
1. Signing autographs is uncomfortable experience and I'm a clutz at it.

Author Jason Jack on 'Taking Control'
Dear author Jason Jack, what do you think about our lots in life?-It is important to understand that if you don’t take control of your life then your life will take control of you.
I've been around, met, and spoken to so many people that blame the world and its obstacles for their short comings: their bad health is because they don’t have the time or means, their extra weight is because they don’t have time or the means—life just has not provided them the means to do better.
This is a fall...

Author Jason Jack on 'Happiness'
Dear author 'The Jason Jack, what do you think about Happiness?-It's something more people need to place at the center of their lives, if not their entire existence.
My mom always told me "in order to make other people happy, you have to be happy first". What I took away? Happiness spreads. Being happy encourages other people to be happy.
And I'm glad I was told this at a younger age (early teens), because it was a mantra I've kept with me even unto today. Life can be cut short at any moment an...
