The mountain is big. Huge. Know what is at the top. Take at least one step every day to get to the top. But don’t go down to the bottom and stare at it. You’ll lose your progress.

Take a step today. And every few days lift your head up. Turn to the side. Enjoy the view. Celebrate the steps you’ve taken.

Have you heard the theory that everyone has a Super Power?

My boss has a Super Power. She says he has Super Vision. We thought he could see thru walls or see what we’re carrying in our pockets… she said No, she has Supervision.

She is a pretty good boss…

UPS has this great feature where they will intercept a package that you’ve delivered to the wrong place, or return the package to you before it gets to the destination on the label.

Well, it would be great if it worked.

As you can see by this image from the UPS web site UPS may or may not intercept the package for you.

Either do it, or don’t do it!

When buying/upgrading your cell phone service, pay for the new stuff using your credit card - immediately.

If you add your new stuff to your monthly bill you’ll pay all the FCC fees that you do every month - except on a larger amount than normal. The FCC doesn’t break out your new stuff from the service fees. It’s all lumped together and taxed as if it all applies to service.

Hey, every little bit helps.

Less than once is nunce

.. is that if you don’t have anything to say, you say nothing.

(hence the sparseness of postings here)

There are at least two unwinnable arguments:

1) My wife is better than yours
2) My dog is the best dog in the world

You can accomplish many things with ten minutes of focused work.

I lived off of ten minutes of focused work for an entire year. In those ten minutes I created some software that I built many things upon that year. It was the foundation of an entire year’s salary. I became known for those ten minutes.

Try it. Focus on your problem, your work, your plans, your future for ten minutes. See what happens.

There is a point in every project where you’ve built it and it is time to test. You begin testing and with a coupla tweaks you get to the point where it seems to work.

How long, how much more testing do you do before you move from “it seems to work” to “it works!”.

Quality is determined because there is a lot of time and a lot of trials until it is deemed to be “it works!”

These days, more and more products get to the “it seems to work” phase and then shipped. Soon people determine that it doesn’t always work.

Where is pride in workmanship? Has it been lost in cost cutting?
