Praying for Earth, work

Artemis II is returning to Earth after sending humans farther from Earth than ever before in history.

Artemis II traveled around the Moon and lost contact (it was planned for) with NASA for a brief period.

Extraordinary accomplishment in human history.

And as i type this (4:25pm April 7, 2026) we are three hours and 35 minutes from our President’s Iranian-peace-deal deadline.

The work-side of me can focus on a grand picture of Earth in an infinite cosmos.

Incomprehensible.

And we are infinitesimal.

Everything we know about Earth and our Milky Way Galaxy…

i have come to learn through science, that we are so blessed, so extraordinary.

But we are the center of nothing.

If Earth disappeared, the cosmos continues, unaltered, uncaring, unaware.

Carl Sagan is intriguing me in a way similar to Jesus, Gandhi, MLK, Mother Theresa, Stephen Hawking, Neil deGrasse Tyson, and Sheldon Cooper.

Praying now that when i wake up tomorrow (April 8, 2026, 5:00am) our Earth isn’t ‘on-fire’.

Lying’s downside

Ukraine news update
Russia says they only wanted Donbas. Sure thing Russia. You never lied before, why would you start now?

Lying’s downside?

You are forever labeled a liar.

Good luck suddenly becoming trustworthy.

Numb?

Numb?

Devastated?

Worried?

Russia’s onslaught in Ukraine continues to get worse.

Just when you think you’ve witnessed the peak of inhumanity and aggression, you realize a harsh reality, your answer is no.

Disney Leadership lessons

Social media images from this morning, February 28, 2022. Reminds me of how divided social media makes family, friends, coworkers, etc. Two overwhelmingly vocal mindsets: (1) keep up with the times (our $200/year dues haven’t increased in 26 years) versus (2) if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it. Change is life’s only constant. Agree or disagree, embrace or resist, change doesn’t care.

Disney’s Leadership produces an annual global recognition as one of the top-10 most admired companies in the world.

Our (Disney) over-focus on the same things others under-focus on or ignore is the reason.

Learned it, did it, and eventually taught it to over one-million external people. And, of course, taught it to countless frontline Cast Members simply as a frontline Disney Operations leader.

It works.

It produces exceptional results – organizational vibrancy if you will.

i continue to teach it 40 years after my original January 1982 Disney hire date.

We live less than one mile from Walt Disney World. The Vacation Capital of the World.

High probability that some people hate Disney and the employees (Cast Members) who work at Disney.

Why?

No idea.
