Magic doesn’t work

GNP. View from Piegan Pass tail.

If people knew how hard I worked to gain my mastery, they wouldn’t think it was so magical after all.

Get-to-do

Henry David Thoreau quote
Perhaps the granddaddy grandparent of all motivational quotes.

If you choose a job that you like, you will never have to work a day in your life.

Confucius

In work, do what you enjoy.

Lao-tzu

At work, make sure your get-to-do’s have at least 51% controlling interest over your have-to-do’s.

Living on the edge

The business case for culture. The fact you can’t read it all is good. This stuff is my IP.

Living on the edge.

Aerosmith was my first concert in 1974, as a high school sophomore.

Totally feels like COVID-19 has people the world over living on the edge.

For the first time, i’m unemployed for the foreseeable future, this may be the first honest work break i’ve had in a lifetime. And thank goodness for our rainy day (year) plan.

Gotta admit.

It suits me.

All i’ve known is work.

All i know now is no deadlines, no travel, no contracts, no invoicing, no planning, no followup, and no client calls.

Not gonna lie.

In no hurry for it to end.

In today’s world, is that living on the edge or what?

Broom or a pencil?

Flowers during a Finland trip. Same flowers you see in Glacier National Park.

In the past, jobs were about muscles, now they’re about brains, but in the future they’ll be about the heart.

Minouche Shafik, director, London School of Economics

i used to tell our son, now 19, that his future will revolve around which mindset he uses – a broom or a pencil?

One uses your body as your paycheck maker, the other uses your brain.

Manual labor or office job.

What Minouche is proposing is a radical third option.Thank you COVID-19 and Global Warming.

Be prepared to do great work

Sidekick Jack and sword. Well prepared for whatever may need to be done.
  • Imagination.
  • Focus.
  • Practice.
  • Accomplishment.
  • Learn early.
  • Have fun.

Be prepared to do great work.

Would a sabbatical provide an opportunity to do more important and more joyful work?

Gut says, yes.
