Unfortunately you can't day dream all the time. But now and again seems to help creativity. I think this goes hand in hand with Stephen Covey's principle of sharpening the saw. Too often I find myself ultra focused and get bogged down in the mire. I read an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal about it today Go ahead interrupt me There are those, and often find myself in the camp. That believe long hours of trudging along. Will lead to success, much like the … [Read more...]
Egypt’s New Hope, America’s new Hope
February 16, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Freedom is what fuels innovation. The events in Egypt over the past few weeks give me hope that good things are happening in the world. Hopefully this new spark of change encourages more countries to give more freedom and liberty to their people. I am hoping it inspires each of us to find ways to find ways to be more free in our own lives. … [Read more...]
I am never going to be popular.
February 7, 2011 By 2 Comments
I used to believe what I have could make people happy, or at least happier. However, in the past several years I discovered I am fool. I can't make or help people be happier, they are going to have to do that themselves. I have also discovered most people don't want to be happy they would rather be miserable, really miserable. Most of us don't want other people telling us to do, mostly because each of us thinks we have it all figured out. We all believe something that what is … [Read more...]
Down with Taxes!
February 3, 2011 By 2 Comments
Everyone wants someone else to pay taxes. Today in the New York Times the most popular article is "The Paradox of Corporate Taxes in America" - http://nyti.ms/hcEbQ . It's so easy to say , "Their rich, make them pay my taxes." But what if they pay more taxes and you lose your job because to pay the higher taxes they can't afford you. Now all they can afford is to have your job done in India. We are not rational and that no one realizes the long term effects. Sadly everyone is selfish … [Read more...]
Make selfishness a strength for your business
August 20, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Why? What are you talking about? Here is the premise. Most people, including myself, are pretty selfish. We spend most of our days looking for what will bring us the most amount of satisfaction. For instance. When I was a Boy Scout I learned the slogan "Do a good turn daily." This is a great slogan and I think everyone should live by it. Why? you ask. and what does this have to do with selfishness. This is what I learned. As I helped people and I could see it made a difference in their … [Read more...]

Got Lucky yesterday to get my Google Wave Sandbox Account. I spent a couple of hours last night messing with it. Unfortunately couldn't play with it much today because of a prior commitment. I can see why they have just opened it up to developers. It's a little buggy at this point. But I am excited to get in an try things out.

Inspiring Leadership Statments

Here is some inspiration from very successful people. “It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it… anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.” (Douglas Adams) “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.“ (John Quincy Adams) “No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all … [Read more...]
Google Wave, it's going to change the world!
July 24, 2009 By Leave a Comment
I heard about Google Wave when it was anounced after the I/O conference in Austalia. I went to the web site and checked it out then. But the video wasn't up yet and I didn't quite understand what they were trying to do. I just went back and watched the video a couple of days ago, and now I am seeing what they have developed at Google is truly amazing and revolutionary. One of the really cool things is how open it is because they know and want people to start to get creative with the … [Read more...]
