Excellent Ted Talk parody and…

While this video parody is funny, it’s important to know beyond a shadow of a doubt, great speakers are intentional, and, spontaneous.

However, the shorter the speech, the more intentionality required.

The longer the speech, more room for spontaneity.

The irony is Pat Kelly had to do exactly what he was making fun of – being intentional and methodical.

And by the way, his talk was poignant, except for the standing ovation.

Nolan Bushnell eight-minute video on creativity

Nolan Bushnell eight-minute video. There are many reasons why eight minutes is too long. None of them were good enough to stop me from watching.

 

 

A fire that isn’t continuously fed goes out.

Knowing, clearly where we are headed in life makes decision making easier.

Easier and easy are not the same, by the way.

A fascinating day.

We will be back inside Disneyland today.

It was good to have a dose of reality for a better appreciation of life in general.

How losing focus breeds personal contempt

Hidden in Steve’s 45-second video message is this insight: People no smarter than us have shaped life as we know it. Nothing excludes us from doing this except one thing – belief.

Here’s to the crazy ones.

 

 

Actions speak louder than words. And no one ever builds a reputation on what they’re going to do.

When we’re stuck, we slow down. Our focus gets blurry. And without focus we slowly become unmotivated.

This breeds a personal contempt that helps the cycle feed on itself. The key to starving this beast is to find or claim your purpose in life.

Without purpose, hope fades.

With purpose, hope feeds desire and desire feeds forward progress.

Moving forward feeds on itself and life is good again.
