Life As...

Do you have a plan for your life-
which you may be thinking, "no,"
who has time to plan?  Or you
may find yourself thinking,
"used to, but it's changed so
many times,"  or you may find you
do have a plan but now you're wondering if
it's been followed, done as it was planned.  If
you have no plan, you are actually living out
a plan, just not one that you put in place, so in
some sense you've just taken your hands off
the wheel and you're saying to some mysterious
force, "I trust you to drive now, rather than me
to plan and steer the trip."  Does that seem to
make sense for you, to get in the car, start it
up and then not touch the steering wheel?

An acquaintance once told me that you have
to put the key in the lock and turn it before
you can open the door.
Not bad thinking,in fact it's going to
some day turn out to be
a writing; but in the meantime, think of how
funny it would look for someone to walk up
to a locked door, not put the key in and turn
it and expect the door to unlock?  That sort
of thinking doesn't make a whole lot of
sense at all, does it?

So as we wrap up this beginning session
with each other, let's think through two items,
one, you do need to plan and stick to your
plan, for your life.  Two you need to put
your hands on the steering wheel and guide
your life just like you guide a car.  Then
when you get ready to open new doors with
unfamiliar keys, you may not find the
experience so - ...well, we'll talk about that
one, next time...

Learn All The Time - You Can - You Do

Want 200 million dollars, well heck yes, who wouldn't?  Only, you have
to jump through 200 million dollars worth of hoops to get it, but, if you
are the one who has the idea, you know it in your soul, get after it.

Wired Site Which Has This Pop Up On It

In trying to put together a presentation for Monday afternoon
doing some research on social media ports and methods, saw this
article about a "New Twitter," platform.  That was interesting, Twitter
is one of my favorite places to catch hold of new ideas, so went to
Wired to check it out.  While there saw the pop up about GE and
the 200 million dollar contest/grant they are offering.  Nice stuff to
know, but only people who go to that website, or read this, or find
it out by some other means will even know about it.  So the question
then becomes, why'd GE choose to advertise it this way, in Wired
magazine?
