One of the bright lights, Randy Pausch, has finally left the building. He discovered he had pancreatic cancer last September. Instead of throwing a pity party, he got busy. Within days, he created a lecture about life, joy, love, happiness, having fun, and living with purpose. That speech on YouTube has been seen by millions. […]

I’m back. Actually I haven’t been gone. This blogging thing is sitting on my shoulder all day long, pulling my hair, stealing parts of my brain. Here’s the deal, I’ve started at least ten different entries and stopped mid-sentence. I have the idea, but then nothing more to back it up, fill it out, make […]

For the newer bloggers out there, try getting some friends together to do a blogathon like we did. In the past 19 days I’ve learned a lot about my friends, I’ve read more blogs than I ever thought I would, and I’ve been more committed to writing in this. It’s a great discipline to help […]

Nike’s trademark is “Just do it!™” and Larry the cable guy’s is “Git’er done! ™” Both are wildly successful enterprises. This call to arms tells you to get up off your remote-control jumpseat and make things happen. It works. Amadeus Schnicklefitz – remember him? Of course you don’t – his catchphrase was “Well, just do […]

In case you missed it, today the large group of Native Americans who have been crossing the US on two different paths will converge in Washington, DC. They’ve been marching for 5 months. Interesting and moving Video about it on YouTube.

This is worth a read. Jeff Thredgold is a colleague of mine in the National Speakers Association. He has a good bead on things Economic and has always been right on in his analysis of what’s really happening in our economy. Read this post on the current oil situation.

The way I see it, Cactus is the most resilient plant in the desert. If you find yourself stuck out on the desert and you can get past the thorns, its fruit will save your life. The same goes for us human critters. If we can get past the thorns of our own life, what we find in our core will save us and sustain us.
