The more you give in to
unreasonable demands
of your employer,
your employees,
your customers,
your suppliers.
The more unreasonable will be their demands going forward.
This principle applies to all relationships.
Eyes wide open. Risk nothing. Get nothing.

Friday morning musings after a particularly great workout.
A Marriage is like wine. We look at the bottle on the shelf. The more attractive the label, the more excited we become about what’s inside. We have to taste it before we know whether it suits our taste. Does it give us a headache or do we want more? (more…)

And we wonder why all this bullying is going on.
Wake up. Take a look. Its in our face.
Canadian and American elections = attack the person, not the issues.
The models:
Sarah Palin.
Rush Limbaugh.
I’m sure you can add more model bullies.
Watch congress or a Canadian parliament any day = degrade and denigrate the person, lie to make the point.
Challenge. Change your behaviours.
Today.
Now.
If I am not part of the solution I am part of the problem.
Should you, of course, choose to take the assignment.

2010 – 2020
Think back to 2000. The dot com’s were in the tank. No twitter. Social media 2.0 was just a twinkle in somebody’s brain. Facebook!? LinkedIn?? Twin Towers Blown to smithereens! A black man in the oval office.
As the song goes,
“There’s something happening here . What it is ain’t exactly clear. There’s a man with a gun over there . Telling me I got to beware …
Paranoia strikes deep. Into your life it will creep. It starts when you’re always afraid …”
If we get clear that everything is subject2change we do not have to succumb to paranoia.
We can keep our eyes and ears wide open.
Adopt. Adapt. Learn. Un-learn. Re-learn.
New-Old-Familiar re-arrange to subject it to change. Check this out.
Anxiety is the price of denial, the result of mentally freezing, or what i call psychosclerois. Use the unknown to find your internal strength of character.
Heartbeats are one’s ultimate personal, non-renewable resource. Do not succumb to someone else telling you how to use them.
Make this your decade of courage, curiosity, integrity, energy and re-generation – only, of course if you choose to take the assignment.
