Murphy’s law was trying to break me

Graphic design specs
Spent two hours at Kinkos yesterday. Learned that a workbook cover will have a white edge surrounding it unless you pay extra for the “bleed” for an 8.50 x 11.0. i wasn’t looking to learn this.

 

Murphy’s law was trying to break me yesterday afternoon. How do i know? When something that should be easy, quick, and fun turns into the opposite.

There’s a feeling i get when professionals don’t do their jobs like they mean it. Going through the motions (it happens sometimes) only frustrates me when someone else in the organization knows the ball was dropped, but doesn’t apologize and doesn’t quickly reassure me not to worry about a thing.

Thank you to Moises, team lead, for exuding great karma. The last thing i needed was one more person to get involved, but Moises wowed me with his can-do attitude and ownership.

It’s a crime in my world

Disney leadership expert
Capturing (in pictures) the journey to write seven Disney books in one year is more work than it appears. i do it anyway.

 

It’s a crime in my world.

What?

Going through the motions.

Settling.

Dear frustrations

Went inside to use the restroom and was stopped by the unique reflection. This is much harder to see when it’s daylight or when there are large conventions with thousands of people. 

 

Dear frustrations,

i’m certain my blind spots are incredibly obvious to others.

i’m frustrated it can take years, decades, and sometimes an entire lifetime for us me to be enlightened.

While i’m tempted to be frustrated that others never tell me, i have to be honest and admit there are people i don’t say anything too as well.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

Dear hope

Yesterday, a Sunday, at Disney Springs. Nothing fancy. The Disney trash can made it easy to not be a trip hazard.

The glamor of being a Disney author and speaker.

 

Dear hope,

While hope is a great strategy in business, it is a poor tactic.

Strategy is a decent plan.

Tactics make the plan a reality.

Hope is not a tangible tool, like a building, committed staff, or proprietary intellectual property.

Dear memories

Windermere Prep Cross Country
You know how many people would quit without ever doing what you are doing? Nearly all of them.

 

Windermere Prep Cross Country
Running alone is lonely. The paradox is that you are never alone.

 

Windermere Prep Cross Country
What a person learns watching from the sidelines pales in comparison to what you learn through perseverance on the field.

 

Dear memories,

The bad news is sometimes it takes you years to make your point clear.

The good news is it’s worth the wait.
