Get Rice: Ronnie O'Brien Rice, Ph.D., Lawyer

The reason why I love math is because there are basic laws.  And if you abide by them, you will get to a solution. You should apply this same principle is life. If you are trying to achieve a goal, it is important to know the formula to get to it. Don’t be one of those people who are arbitrarily shooting at random targets. There is a saying that if you don’t have a target, you will hit it every time. Meaning, if you don’t have any direction, you get there every time because there is no destination. If you apply the simple principles to get to where you are trying to go, you will eventually get there sooner or later. If you want to be a professional basketball player, given you have the right genes, height, speed, muscle, etc.; you’ll become one if you put in the work. You must decide what position you want to play and the work that is required to get there. The percentage of people who are slated to get to the NBA is less than 1%. You need to find out what that 1% did to ge...

According to The Wandering RV , there are over 6 million car crashes a year. So, if you see this statistic, you might wonder what is the purpose of this post? This post is to make you aware that if you were ever to get involved in the car accident, here are some steps to take to ensure safety of you, family, or friends. First, if you been involved in accident make sure everyone is safe. Pull on the side of road to get out of the way of other traffic. Some law enforcement agency might not want you to do this. I have found in my experience this helps make others safe and helps traffic buildup. The next step is to make a phone call to 911. This can depend largely on the severity of the accident. Well, I would say always called 911. Also, immediately take pictures. No matter who you think is at fault. Whether you are at fault or the other person is at fault take pictures! This will help you in the long run, especially when it comes to remembering specific details of the accident. Or ...

So, I know that this is a precocious post! But I think it's something that warrants a blog post and general discussion. So why are bars popular? The answer is simple. At bars you can meet people, a future spouse, relax, and host of other things. So, what’s the purpose of me writing this blog? It’s simple, what else are people doing now that they can’t go out to bars, beaches, etc.? So where are people socializing? The Internet! What can you do to expand your social circle while using the Internet? One, you can gain followers and friends on social media. Hence why it's called social media. I think oftentimes people take social media too seriously. In which it is understandable. I think the key to all of this is to make sure to find engaging post and don't be scared to reach out to others on social media. It is easy to follow a specific hashtag, make a comment, direct message people, and make sure you take that relationship or the initial contact very seriously. Socia...

I'm hitting you with another crazy blog post! How to stop suffering? The answer is simple: Either start doing something or stop doing something specific. You're suffering because you're either going through something that you can or can't control. So what is suffering? Suffering is something doesn't feel good. It brings emotionally ups and downs. But, there are two types of sufferings: one, is a good and the other is bad. Just like everything in life. So the question to yourself is what should you do to stop the suffering? If you are suffering from something good, you need to do with David Goggins says develop a callus in your mind to continue to move forward. If you are suffering something bad, then you either need to start or stop doing something. You often hear the parable of the howling dog . Someone asked why is the dog howling? The farmer says because she is sitting on a nail but doesn’t want to move. If you're experiencing this right now, find mo...

The purpose of this post is to open a discussion about the importance of Constitutional Rights! And how to appreciate them. Constitutional Rights were established years ago for Americans to have Civil Liberties. It sounds convoluted, but it is something that is important. If you don’t believe me, try to obtain a pistol permit, register to vote, attend public schools, etc. All these simple necessities of life are part of our constitution. So why are constitutional rights seemed to be attacked at some much, especially during election. The answer is simple:   There is not enough people who appreciate them and/or understand them. Even though, human rights have not been equal for everyone for 100 of years in America , the purpose of the constitution was to establish some time of normalcy and standards. Without this sounding like a history lesson, America was form breaking away from Great Britain . And the main reason for this was because of the many immigrants being unfairly tre...

 What do you need to know when conducting business international ? If you are in business, you are doing some type of international business. It is difficult these days to conduct business without having some type of international touch points. If you are in the product business, some part of your product is from out of the country. If you are providing a service, you are using some type of technology and/or service that has an international base. So now that you know that you are doing business internationally, even if it is remotely, what can you do when interacting with clients over the water? Time:   Due to different time zones, it is important to understand that others are either hours earlier than you; or hours late than you. And you must be prepared to engage customers, clients, and/or business partners on their time. Just because it is late for you and they know there is a time differences, does not mean that they want you to be in pajamas on a 10:00 p.m. Zoom ca...

For some, I know this is a no-brainer question, but there is a large group of people who take social media at its word. Yes, I know I’m speaking of social media as a person. But this is something that I notice as a difference between generations. One generation takes social media post at face value, where another does more factchecking . I don’t know if one is better than the other, but it definitely makes me wonder if there is a significant difference. So, one school of thought is that there is more information to be processed that does not need to be filtered through the traditional methods of News Television Stations, Newspaper, Magazines, etc. For example, the viral video of police officers’ conduct when arresting Black males. If the videos have to travel through the traditional channels, those videos may have not been released. On the other hand, without some type of ‘checks and balance’ of the length and aspect of the video, the context of the video can be lost because the...
