Today I learned that if you are bored you are boring

Today I learned that In 2012 Jimmy Zhong uncovered a coding error on the now defunct crypto market Silk Road that allowed him to withdraw more funds than he deposited. He stole 51,680 BTC ($3.4 Billion) and stayed anonymous for ten years before finally getting caught and arrested in ’21 and was sentenced to 1 year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Zhong

Why the eight billion is skill-less… Likely you too.

This article, in a way, will be the continuation of yesterday’s article.

Instead of how to play the wrong game, I suggest that you spend some time deciding what game to play.

But you can’t, if you are fixated on some imaginary result that is, in essence, a pie in the sky. Continue reading “Why the eight billion is skill-less… Likely you too.”

It is not so much about how to play the game…

In life the challenge is not so much to figure out how best to play the game; the challenge is to figure out what game you’re playing. The game of Life or the game of pretense life… Read on, I’ll explain the difference.

Yesterday’s article, email, and the responses have lead me to look at life differently.

Then I had a phone call… and as you may know… phone calls make brilliant things come out of my mouth… because it is hard to be silently brilliant. Lots of thoughts occur when you open your mouth.

Interaction. Continue reading “It is not so much about how to play the game…”

Are you a Frank or a Matt? In business, in life…

Frank vs Matt is a concept Andre Chaperon came up with to help demonstrate the two camps or categories (or models) that us marketers operate within.

Although Frank and Matt are not real ‘flesh and blood’ people per se — their traits are absolutely real and based on real people.

You’re currently one of them. Continue reading “Are you a Frank or a Matt? In business, in life…”

Turning things around… creating a turning point

I have a potential turning point for how I teach and what I teach… I saw it yesterday.

It’s a potential turning point, because I am not sure I can do it. After all I would be teaching something I did not learn myself. So I don’t even know if it is teachable. But at least now I understand what is going on. Why the results are sporadic.

I’ll explain later, after the story… but let’s start with a story, OK? Continue reading “When you learn a new word, it opens the world for you”

The worst of the 7 Habits of Highly Ineffective People

I am on a quest to catch up to the culture

I came to this country in 1985. In all of my 38 years here I watched TV on a TV set maybe 10 hours total… Probably less.

So I haven’t been part of the ‘culture’. And being part of the culture is essential if you want to be in people’s world.

Everything is culturally defined. Love, sadness, tragedy, compassion, etc. Culturally defined. Continue reading “The worst of the 7 Habits of Highly Ineffective People”

What brings something out of the invisible?

What brings something out of the invisible? So you can see it. So you can stop it if it doesn’t work. Or have more of it if it does…

I have started to watch movies again, on Amazon Prime. Not Netflix? Not Netflix.

Anyway, yesterday I watched two Jesse Stone movies with Tom Selleck. Continue reading “What brings something out of the invisible?”

What you call things matter more than you know

Just from this morning’s ‘crop’…

I woke up with the alarm. At 4 am… Then I fell back to sleep. I said: ‘oops, it is late!‘ and the whole world was now witness to me being a slacker whose word you can’t count on.

I made myself a cup of Tetley’s British Blend tea.

I am testing not using sweetener. My body is covered in hives…

We are in the midst of the Drink your food challenge.

I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t know what will happen… what spiritual, what intellectual, what personality issues will be driven up.

Here is what I am getting: people find themselves in the GAP. The gap between who they think they are, and who they are proven to be by the challenge.

This article from 2018 will shed a lot of light on what’s going on. Continue reading “We all have multiple personalities… One is delusional”

What is different between the driver and a passenger?

What is different between the driver and a passenger of a car?

Now, you could say that their actions, but you would be both right and wrong…

The real difference is between the language they use.

The driver calls the shot… While the passenger goes wherever the driver takes them… and at best they can grovel.

I’d like to, I want to, I need to, I should. I will. Continue reading “What is different between the driver and a passenger?”
