Help me to stay focused on the opportunity and not on the cost

Southwest Air digital boarding pass
Heading to Washington, DC today for an Executive Overview tomorrow morning.

 

Today and tomorrow help me to stay focused on the opportunity and not on the (time) cost.

There’s an exception to every rule.

Know yourself well enough to know when to be flexible and when to stay true to your values.

i don’t do sales pitches.

So tomorrow’s hour will be out of my comfort zone because that’s what the client has asked for. They are auditioning two or three top candidates and deciding which one to hire.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Where’s the Hollywood sign?

California cash register etiquette
California cash register etiquette . Apparently, this is a normal distance to maintain.

 

Hollywood sign
It’s much farther away than i thought.

 

Hollywood sign
Thank goodness for iPhone camera zoom.

 

Griffith Observatory
Pretty bold statement, and perhaps critical if you are an astronomer.

 

Paradox
Paradox, the two opposite ends of a spectrum. We laughed at this one.

 

Griffith Observatory entrance
Wait, don’t go in there…

Yesterday was a Saturday. A better (day) alternative for traveling on Los Angeles highways. It was still slow, but not unbearable.

Our Cast Member ID’s were blocked out at Disneyland yesterday due to high attendance projections. We opted for a side-trip.

Insight: Everything looks bigger and better on TV and magazines. Was reminded how much Orlando, and Walt Disney World, appeals to us.

What happens two people see the same thing, under different lens?

Vacant land near Disney World
No, we are not on Safari. Our cousin is taking a picture of her empty lot near Walt Disney World.

 

Florida field
Yesterday we found a path in an overgrown lot.

 

One family (who lives there) accepts that the weeds are eight feet tall because they never saw the growth because it was insidiously slow.

Another family sees the growth for the first time and is astounded at how out of control the weeds are.

Two people see the same thing, under different lenses.

It’s the same with religion.

Same with attitude.

Define living in a bubble

Disney's Contemporary Resort
Is Disney “a bubble”? What criteria, and who’s criteria is the correct measure?

 

A healthcare provider employee and i have known each other for a decade. She works the reception desk that i visit three or four times a year. We always take a few minutes to chat.

With the advent of a new school year, she remarked about how the school our son attends is “a bubble”.

Compared to a public school funded by tax payer dollars, a private college preparatory school may seem elitist.

An American public school in Orange County Florida may seem like “a bubble” compared to most schools in Afghanistan.

Having paved roads, clean drinking water, electricity, cable TV, abundant wifi, democracy, religious freedom, grocery stores, a plethora of medical facilities to choose from and decent healthcare insurance, etc, etc – all of these luxuries may make Americans look elitist.

It really made me feel better (less guilty) about our lot in life.
