Did you know that if you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee or that the average woman consumes over 6lbs of lipstick in her lifetime? Well how now? Life is collection of discoveries - some large and some small – waiting to be gathered up and woven into the blanket sum of us.

Along our journey, we seek revelation of the self in a myriad of ways; with the current deluge of self-help property, the resources from which to pull are seemingly endless. Growing up an avid Fraggle Rock fan, I collected bits of wisdom from Marjory the Trash Heap, the matronly, sentient compost heap. According to her rat-like companions Philo and Gunge, who served as her shills, the Trash Heap knows all and sees all. In fact Marjory is all: "I'm orange peel, I'm coffee grounds, I'm wisdom!" You’d lay on her your woes and Marjory, the all-knowing, would sing you a groovy jam and hit you with some wicked advice and all would be restored in the world.

With the 80s regrettably over and the wise compost pile put to pasture, advice is readily vailable online from self-help channels to guru-inspired websites to social networking communities. And if you’re a quiz taking fanatic, check out Tickle, an online community offering many applications and features to divine self-discovery and provide social networking opportunities.

Tickle is able to apply science to help members build and manage relationships. Tickle's "Think Tank" of certified PhDs ensures that the sites' services are useful and the content is relevant. Thus, members have access to practical scientific data that helps them to discover themselves, and better connect with others - a combination that makes the platform truly powerful.

Ask and you shall receive. I took the quiz, “Where does your inner compass point?” and discovered that I’m an adventurer in the truest sense, spontaneous and flexible with a passion for trying new places and things. No maps, no plan, no timelines. I'd rather let the road take me wherever it may lead. North, south, east, or west — my inner compass has no limits. Hmm, where will my next adventure be? Maybe I need to consult my promotional therapist in a box kit? Sometimes the best advice is imprinted and found right in front of you, on your desk.
