Moderate vs Radical (quote)
"I choose that word “radical” intentional. Because only
radicals change the world. Everything great done in this world is done by
passionate people. Moderate people get moderately nothing done. - Rick Warren - Easter Sunday, 2005

One of the Best Alltime Quotes Ever!
"The love of theory is the root of all evil"
- W. M. Briggs
This one quote says volumes. It speaks of all the lies and misconceptions that have perpetuated since the very beginning. From the Garden and throughout history, the main tool of thought to lead humanity to failure, destruction, decay, misery, and defeat, has been this thing we call, "Theory".

Any Big Idea is Going to Take a While...
“Any big idea is going to take a while to get there. By definition, if
it’s big, and no one has done it before, it’s not going to be 1-2-3, ‘We
got it!’ There is going to be a dark period in there, because you don’t
know what the key to getting there is. You have to be willing to be in
some murky territory, and be prepared to invest, if you really want to
do something different.”
- Evan Williams

Begin With the End
“To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear
understanding of your destination. It means to know where you’re going
so that you better understand where you are now so that the steps you
take are always in the right direction.”
– Stephen R. Covey

This is Me
A few years ago, I took the Strength Finder 2.0 test. I discovered that my top five strengths are;
Strategic -
People who are especially talented in the Strategic theme create alternative ways to proceed. Faced with any given scenario, they can quickly spot the relevant patterns and issues
Context -
People who are especially talented in the Context theme enjoy thinking about the past. They understand the present by researching its history.
Ideation -
People who are especially talented in the Ideation theme are fascinated by ideas. They are able to find connections between seemingly disparate phenomena.
Input -
People who are especially talented in the Input theme have a craving to know more. Often they like to collect and archive all kinds of inform
Intellection -
People who are especially talented in the Intellection theme are characterized by their intellectual activity. They are introspective and appreciate intellectual discussions.
It is not so much that I am a smart or talented person, what it really about is the combination of my best traits make me one of those people who is ideal to have in certain situations. Such as a start-up, an advisory role, or as a business or political consultant. I have many answers to many things. If you have the questions.
Please feel free to contact me.

The Three Rules
Over ten years ago, I came up with what I like to call, "The Three Rules":
They were,
1. Avoid trouble
2. Do the right thing
3. Refrain from... [fill in the blank]
The first two are quite obvious. Stay out of trouble. After all, what good are you if your in the doghouse (principal's office, jail, detention center, traffic court, etc.). Doing the right thing shows what your really made of. Or what kind of person you really are. Whenever you do the right thing, your conscience is clear.
The the third may need some explanation: One of the primary reasons for failure is, having a bad habit, wrong attitude, or acting or speaking first without thinking. I used to say to myself, "Refrain from stupidity." Or, "Refrain from doing the same exact thing all the time."
Every time when something goes wrong, I ask myself, "Did I follow the Three Rules?" Did I stay out of trouble? Did I do the right thing? Did I refrain from saying or doing something really stupid? Or fall into an old bad habit that does more harm than good?
The reason I kept this list down to just three items is, I to wanted to keep it simple and easy to remember.
