Ready, Aim, Fire . . .

You guys have to to check out Seth's Blog, today he talks about how this funny idea has spread . .

Thoughts:

Pertaining to the link above, it makes me think, someone once said there are two knds of people in this world, "Those who kill bugs, and those who don't". Would you aim at the bug?

SCREAM

"Sometimes a scream is better than a thesis." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
American author, minister, & activist

This is an interesting idea, and I have to entertain this thought because Ralph Waldo Emerson was definitely a brilliant man.

How many times have you talked to someone so calmly, and rational to find that the person just didn't "get it"?

I guess we have to transmit some sort of emotion in anything we say, especially if we want to appeal to someone. Logic doesn't always go through . . . But PASSION does.

CAVEAT: This only goes so far though - (Melissa!)

Who lights your fire . . .

Sorry guys for not posting for so long, and I know no one read's this anyway . . Well since my last post I have been real busy with Philosphy Class two nights a week plus work, so it does make it difficult to get here.

Descartes has actually inspired me alot and got me to think profoundly, in fact so much that I think I'm "dreaming" about thinking . . for those who have read Descartes you know what I'm talking about . .

Anyway I wanted to point you again to Doug Sundheim's post from Fast Company, a very inspiring gentleman indeed about "Who inspires you?!! when you are in fact lost in the void of mundaness and feel hopless and well (blah). Who inspires your mind and uplifts your spirit and heart? Wherever you are today? If you think about it, you didn't get there alone, someone helped you along the way, and it's the reason you aren't the only one on this earth, unless you're a "Solopsists", and you think that Only you exist . . (I'm feeling a little Philisophical, so I have to get this out of the way, and it's something I came across last night) ..
Descartes's thinking was inspired by Aristotle and Aristotle by Plato and Plato by Socrates . . But who was Socrates' teacher?

I believe he says woman name who begins with "D", but he talks highly of this "loved one", reflecting in much the same nature as the man quoted below . . Look this "loved one's" name, makes you think about Love and it's place next to all this reason and logic . . but anyway I must say Thank you Melissa, I Love you, you inspire me spiritually in a way you'll never understand . . . again, I Love you!

"At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us." -- Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) Medical missionary, Nobel Peace Prize winner "

This is Just a test . . I really don't know what this thingy does . . But well see.. here we go..

Does it look good???

Naughty Robots

I thought this was quite interesting . . BetterHumans.com to know that scientists have now created Robots that can reproduce themselves. Soon robot's will be building other robots to destroy the "Human Virus". Have you people seen "The Matrix"! Scary stuff. The implications of this are brilliant, especially when you consider the impact it would have on Nanotechnology. Microscopic little robots that can build each other and replicate, assemble, disassemble, very Star Trek-ish. NanoRobots, one day removing cancer, assempling cells one at a time. It might be possible?

On another Sci Fi note . . I failed to make it to see Star Wars. I'm not bitter about it either. (I'm tired, that's probably the reason).

Glenn, use the Force

Alright, I know i talked about "the guy instinct" yesterday, but today I really should have listend to my advice. I let my brother and his girlfriend take care of the whole "I'll get the ticket's" deal for the premier of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Unfortunately I failed to trust my very own "Force" within me. My gut instinct told me, to react and get those tickets, schedule ahead. I really am not a control freak, I think Ronald Reagan said it best, "Trust, yet verify"! ?

I do confide in people, and trust them whole heartedly to do something. I have had to take many bets on people, either in my work-life, or personal relationships, and I feel I am rather optomistic, when most may say that I am naive for giving in. Do you trust others to get the Job done, or has there been times when you knew you had to just trust "your gut"?

Now about trust, and relationships . . .and expecially for you you "Networking Moguls". I've been reading alot of Keith Ferrazzi's Blog: Never Eat Alone, great stuff! It's based on his new book as well, with the same title. (Another book i have to read) BUSY!

So I just checked on-line, and well, all the showtimes seem to be sold out. I didn't realize there were that many Star Wars fanatics in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre metro. It's a good thing that I work on the "Montage mountain" right next to the Cinemark. I'm goin to negotiate my way into getting tickets . . I bet there are already scalpers!!

Until next time, "May the Force be with you!"

Your GUT. . .

No . . . I'n not talking about that "spare tire" Not that thing which was the target of last year's resolution . .

This entry made me think of Malcom Gladwell's new book BLINK, which I'm still trying to finish . . . (very busy)

Let me know what you think . . .

Here is an interesting piece from the fellas at Fast Company , compliments of Doug Sundheim . . .

"You've got to learn your instrument. Then, you practice, practice, practice. And then, when you finally get up there on the bandstand, forget all that and just wail." -- Charlie Parker (1920-1955) Jazz musician

Greatness isn't calculated and it's never by the book. It's born from the moments when - after studying the book - you put it down and let your instincts take over. The moments when you stop thinking, trust what's in your bones, and let loose.

TELL YOUR FRIENDS

It's national tell-a-friend-about-blogs week

I know I probably don't even have one reader . . If I do let me know . . So i know to keep the contest at least somewhat good.

Go to one of my Favorite Blog's, actually the first blog I've ever even seen.

Thanks to Seth, I now know what an RSS FEED is and BLOGGING is, so here it is Seth's Blog. Go there and have fun, very provacative, thought inducing, riffs on marketing, thinking and changing for the good.
