…never do anything worthwhile either.
People who get things done know that failure is just part of the game of success.
Thomas Edison: “Genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration.”
So, why is our educational system based on teaching kids to avoid failure? It seems to me that we should be teaching them to embrace failure!
I’ve been really stoked by the traffic on this blog! Basically all I know how to do is write. I’ve had to learn the technology from the ground up. But it’s working! So, I’m really excited to announce that I’ve finally been able to make my How To Quit Smoking book available!
Last night before I went to bed, I powered up my My Yahoo! and took a look at the recent posts to the blogs I follow. One post specifically caught my attention–blew my sock off, actually. Let me tell you about it.
I want to continue my conversation about synchronicity. What I mean by synchronicity is that uncanny way the world has of responding to your desires, interests, and deeds.
One thing I want to do with this blog is to review books that I read. This might be problematic, however, because I read over such a wide spectrum. Other than the suspense and science fiction that I read, I also read business books, self-help books, history, and books on various aspects of religion.
I ran across this at Guy Kawasaki’s blog. This is an article about a book published by psychology professor Carol Dweck. According to the book, Dweck looks into why people fail even though they may have the skills and talents required to succeed.
What I really like about Donald Trump is that people either love him or hate him. You’re either a Rosie O’Donnell or one of the suck ups in “The Apprentice”. (I guess I’m more like the suck ups.) Mother Teresa, on the other hand, doesn’ t inspire this sort of polarization. You could probably make the eighth deadly sin: Not Liking Mother Teresa. How could you not like Mother Teresa? She was literally a saint!
They say that what distinguishes us from animals is our invention and use of tools. Exactly what is a tool? I suspect you can recognize a tool when you see one, but can you define it?
Productivity501 is a website run by Mark Shead. From his AboutMe page you learn that Mark is a technology consultant. I am reviewing this website because, if my review is picked, Mark will give me an iPod. Since I don’t have an iPod and, although I asked, my wife did not get me one for Christmas, I’m hoping this review will be well received 
I finished my first ebook a few weeks ago. It’s a how-to manual on how to quit smoking. I’ll write a post about the book itself very soon, so I don’t want to repeat myself here. What I do want to write about is the sequence of events that lead to the idea of writing ebooks and selling them on the Internet.
