Aha moments are addicting

He’s not a nut job, he’s a fruitcake…during yesterday’s 10-miler.

 

He’s a thinker, not a writer.

He writes, but only to get the relentless flow of thoughts on paper.

He’s entertaining, not an entertainer.

His speeches are engaging, but only to allow the audience to deeply experience the insights.

He writes more than he speaks, the same way Usain Bolt trains more than he races.

This post was an aha moment last night.

Time to get back into it

Keep up or get left behind.

There’s something about continuous learning and seasonality. This post is simply real life in real time. A demonstration of practicing what is preached.

Apple’s Yosemite operating system unveiled the Photos App for the first time a few days ago. Now photos can be stored on iCloud.

A first.

Yesterday’s Apple one-to-one session (with Gary) was fun and informative. It was good to get back on the horse. It had been five years.

Did three years (the maximum limit) in a row beginning in 2008 after purchasing an iPhone 3GS.

Note the second photo time stamp – January 20, 2014. Purchased the training well over a year ago. Activated it yesterday, April 14, 2015.

In the digital frontier, which is really where we are in 2015, having the best tool is a huge advantage.

It may seem like technology is advanced, but…

Long ago the bow and arrow became a breakthrough that made a spear or a sling obsolete.

And then along comes this little thing called a rifle.

Normal versus average

Usain Bolt 2015 race calendar
Is Usain Bolt abnormal?

 

Normal versus average.

Normal is not measurable.

The average – or the mean – is measurable.

Big difference.

One is indisputable.

One completely depends on biased opinion.

Dear Son, never forget our discussion about normal yesterday.

Imagine the highs and lows of personal leadership

Top three 2015 Windermere 5k finishers. The guy in glasses is Windermere’s Mayor.

 

Left to right, first place, Mayor Gary, second, and third.

First and second were one second apart.

The third place finisher, Andrew, got beat last year by this year’s 50-59 winner.

After 1,100 seconds, imagine losing the coveted, overall winner spot by only one.

And then imagine an extraordinary, nearly three minute improvement from your time the previous year – that’s what Andrew accomplished.

Or take the 55-year old, running a time faster than he had set as a goal, and faster than when he was 10 years younger.

Leadership covets results.

It’s not the Magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it Magic.
