Beyond the horizontal, beyond ambition, beyond desire…

Beyond the horizontal, ambition, desire… let’s see if we can make it all clear

climbing jacob's ladderI am re-reading Atlas Shrugged.

When the first two times I read it, I knew it was very important. but an essential aspect was missing for me. An aspect I just got a week or so ago.

This aspect, the difference between ambition and desire, that goes, hand in hand, with the word pairs, producer vs second hander, vertical plane vs horizontal plane. Continue reading “Beyond the horizontal, beyond ambition, beyond desire…”

The Masterskill… the secret nearly everyone misses

The Masterskill… the secret nearly everyone misses
Mental Bandwidth and what to do to increase it

If you ordered a large pizza but you had to share it with everyone in your neighborhood, then even after ordering a hundred of those, you would barely get a slice, right? Some teenagers can eat half of a large pizza themselves, so unless you protect your pizza, you’ll remain hungry.

If an internet company sells you service, but they have all their thousands of customers want to watch a movie, you’ll get a spotty connection and miss half the movie.

That is bandwidth… it is limited and the more people use it, the less remains for you. Continue reading “The Masterskill… the secret nearly everyone misses”

Permission to be the way you are, warts and all

Permission to be the way you are, warts and all

permission to growOnly when you have permission to be how you are, who you are, where you are, that you have permission to grow.

If you don’t, it you should be more, better, or different, then you can’t grow… because your starting point is that A should not be A…

In this work we attempt to change our genes so we can become all we can become.

I read this quote in an email today.

I have done nothing all summer but wait for myself to be myself again.‘ — Georgia O’Keeffe. Continue reading “Permission to be the way you are, warts and all”

Do you need passion to love your work? The right work?

Do you need passion to love your work? The right work?

Do you need passion to love your work? Purpose? Maybe the right work?

What is the truth about that?

One of my former students sent me an email today. He is a former student, because I could not get him to achieve any results whatsoever.

But he has sent me valuable information before, so I read the email. Continue reading “Do you need passion to love your work? The right work?”

Information is worthless. Only action is teaching

Information is worthless. Only action is teaching

A very painful fact OF LIFE triggered today’s article. The fact that

…information doesn’t translate to KNOWLEDGE, information doesn’t cause any improvement in your life, in your results.

And thinking about anything, fretting, worrying, strategizing, conspiring neither.

But what does?

This is what today’s article is about… The what does… Continue reading “Information is worthless. Only action is teaching”

If you have a problem keeping your word… Part 2

If you have a problem keeping your word… Part 2

I am finding out that you’ve been thinking in terms of TODO lists to get things done.

I find TODO lists daunting.

The biggest problem with todo lists is that they kill the spirit of things. Things show up as burden on it, not as opportunities. Opportunities for joy, for contribution, for practice, for greatness. No. Just another thing TODO. Continue reading “If you have a problem keeping your word… Part 2”

Rocks, pebbles, and sand that your life organized around

Rocks, pebbles, and sand that your life organized around

Some of my students pondered my article from yesterday and asked themselves: why am I not reading?

One found something that may be the reason billions of people don’t read: by the time they would get to reading, they are too tired. They are spent.

The priority they assign to reading is low.

Normal lives are full of stuff to do that some meme says: you must do.

Take a shower every day, for example. Many people even wash their hair every day. Read the newspaper. Every day. Do shopping when they need something, when they need it. Drive the kid to activities.

Cut coupons. Check facebook, your email, chat, watch cat videos.

Cook every meal… instead of batches is one way many of my students spend their time, instead of reading. I, instead, buy enough to make 7 meals, I cook the food, and put it in sandwich or snack bags… more the snack bags, which are about one fist, so it’s the perfect size.

This means that I don’t cook every day. I always have 10 or so meals prepared in my freezer.

From that you can guess: the distinctions in this article are high level.
