Levels

Ever watch young people playing Wii?
They get into it, and they aren't distracted
by anyone standing by them,
Link to image Wii
they are into the game. My daughter
bought a game for her Nephews
(that is her story and she's stickin'
to it)called "Donkey Kong." I love to
play the game but on Wii it's a bit
of a challenge for me, that
seems to be an age thing. Anyway
let's not digress, so the Nephews are
playing the game, the house could
have caught fire and burned down, they would still
be pushing them buttons as fast as they could, and
into the game. Which is when it hit me...

What if we taught math that way? Hey, wait a minute,
there are some programs that do...what if we taught
English that way? Hey wait a minute, there are
programs that do...So does your local school system
employ this sort of advanced learning? Tony Robbins
I've got to believe would call it, immersion style,
learning, Mari Smith, would call it, immersion
style, learning. Immersion, getting so deeply into
the learning experience, having so much fun doing
it, that, you don't even realize you are learning.

When it comes to getting beyond
the problems that are in our future
about the change from petro based
lifestyle to other based lifestyles,
can we make the transition by actually
taking six months to
develop programs which would
teach the necessary skills to exist
in that world? Someone might,
the question might be, can it be
made to be as much fun as a
Gorilla going after Bananas?

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Three levels of truth about your life, and your business- so that as your business goes, so goes many other things as well, wouldn't you say? So that the person who says, "I'm as successful as I want to be, I'm going to take it easy for a while." They are in the _________ category- how would you fill that one in? Now the person who says, "if I get one more irate phone call, I'm gonna scream." They are in the __________ category, how would you fill that in. "Well, geez, Dana," you might quip; "didn't know I was gonna get to take a test today..." It's just about over, one more to go and then we can see how we did...ready? The person who says, "If this idea has worked so well this last year, it's probably time to begin to think about something else, of course, I don't know what we'll do with the company as it is, but that's their problem, since I'm gonna sell it to them." _________ What category would you say that is, good, bad or ugly? And now, you'd like some answers wouldn't you? Hmm, email me - let's chat about that. Meanwhile, as you're thinking about it, enjoy this sort of funny video...
