Lessons Learned

It is almost difficult to sit down and write today, so many excited thoughts begging to be released.  Can  I just say that I love my life!

The website is progressing nicely.  I plan to have more up today.  It’s pretty exciting that you can “go to print” and then simply make an edit the next day, changing what everyone sees.  Somehow it seems a better reflection of time – not being static.  Perception is reality.  What you see is what you get.

Many people tell the importance of history, and while I will not disagree to the myriad of valuable lessons that are learned from experiential wisdom, it cannot be denied that ‘to the Victor goes the spoils’ and the record of events is written with their pen.  Any accounting by definition is incomplete, if for the only reason the vast majority do not realize what drives them and the others, why they follow.

Jesus, Buddha, Confucius, Lao-tse, Mohammad spoke often in parable and proverb.  I find that allegorical statements about, say the War of 1812, will have a more far reached effect on people, causing them to nod their heads in understanding, then will a list of events and outcomes.  It is the way children learn.  So effective that even years after memorizing on old adage it can suddenly appear in your mind as an “ah-ha” moment.

That’s right.  Simple, Sexy™!    On that note… back to work I go!
