Abby Sunderland, What’s Impossible?

Sailing around the world, solo, is a daring adventure.

To do it as a sixteen female is a whole other level of impossible.

Well, it’s been done before. And it was in the process of being done again, until yesterday.

Abby Sunderland, 16, and her boat, Wild Eyes, have a story to tell – and a website and blog to tell it. Reading about it, to me, is simply like putting another log on the fire.

How’s your fire?

We All Want The Big 3

Life: Watch it, March in it, or Lead it?

Stumbled upon an RSA Animate video featuring Dan Pink. Have you heard of this guy? Have you seen his stuff on You Tube?

It blew my mind yesterday. The three things I wrote down from the ten minute video? The three things we all want, and the three things most organizational leadership structure neglects:

  1. Autonomy – shedding status quo
  2. Mastery – our urge to get better
  3. Purpose – deep desire to make a difference

Posted three times here at jungle jeff yesterday. This may not be today’s final post either. I hope you feel energized today. It’s your responsibility.

Hate To Do This To Ya

Hey, life is crazy. You barely have time to read one jungle jeff blog post per day and here’s today’s third. Are you kidding me? Nope.

Just watched this animated video (10 minutes) (thank you Seth Godin) and it totally blew my mind. Go-givers are going to thoroughly be inspired by this. I have never seen a You Tube video done quite like this.

Does Perfection Matter?

Lance Armstrong and the Tour de France. Is there anyone out there who doesn’t know what Lance Armstrong has done for bicycling, what he has done for Cancer patients, or what he has done for the pursuit of excellence, in anything, not just bicycling?

Walt Disney said, “Aim for perfection, settle for excellence”.

Two nights ago, leaving the Mall, this picture of Lance Armstrong was in a storefront window, Sunglass Hut, I think. Anyway, it captured a thought in my grey matter and I wondered if chasing perfection matters at all. Or does it only matter to the game-changers? Whaddaya think?
