Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we’re curious…and curiosity keep leading us down new paths. -Walt Disney This weekend, I watched Disney’s Meet the Robinsons with my sisters. The movie ends with the quote above. The Robinson family’s motto was: “Keep [...] “The Step” Flickr Photo by * Cishore ? “The mind of man plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps.” Do you ever have those moments when you wonder what’s going on with your life? If you’re really doing what you’re supposed to be doing? If you’re meeting [...] There was an interesting post on the Freakonomics blog yesterday about a gentleman who arranges soda bottles in a very artsy (somewhat Mondrian, apparently) fashion. Go have a look, I’ll wait! Lately, I’ve been talking to several people who seem to hate their jobs. When I saw this, I was reminded how a little bit of [...] Before I get started looking inward, I was considering: should one care what other people think? This topic has the potential to go all over the place, so I’ll try to be as concise as possible and I’m going to give the typical consultant answer: “It depends.” When You Shouldn’t Care My grandmother often says: “What will [...] I’ve been wanting to write some posts about my personality as I perceive it and maybe get some feedback on how others perceive it. I hoped to blog about some of my weaknesses (or development opportunities, if you will) in order to try and determine if some of my attitudes and/or behaviors are “normal” or [...] Let’s try and get back into this blogging business… In any negotiation scenario, you often hear the term “Win-Win“. Wikipedia defines it as: “a win-win strategy is a conflict resolution process that aims to accommodate all disputants.” However, can you ever truly accommodate everyone? Isn’t there always a loser? Even if both parties “win”, isn’t [...] “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”-Anonymous Looks like I’ve already blogged about this topic. Read the entry here. This is exactly what I was thinking about today, right down to the fact that I realize it’s a defense mechanism…interesting how some things about ourselves don’t change. This is another one of [...] Talking about free will, God’s plans and Darwin‘s comment about fatal car accidents, I thought about an incident that happened to me back in May 2003. It’s a common misconception that good things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people. I know there’s a term in psychology for this, but I [...] If you’re reading this on a Monday morning, it might not be something you want to think about, but…here it goes: I just had a discussion with a friend of mine after reading Scott Adams’ post about free will. I have already blogged about my view of free will towards the end of my [...] I’ve had one of Scott Adams’ blog posts bookmarked in my Bloglines account for a while now. Since it applies to so many different things I’ve been wanting to discuss [ranging from beliefs to cockiness to quantum physics to society to jealousy to reality], I wasn’t sure if I wanted to open that can of [...] |
