Zip a Dee Doo F’ing Da

It really boils my blood how Disney censors movies.

I’m not talking about their talent for putting out clean films for all audiences… That I applaud.
It’s when after the fact, they decide to make changes to protect me.

Here are three instances.

Don’t Spoiler your summer

Years ago I discovered something which is blasphemous in many circles but has made my movie going experiences substantially better… Here it is

From frustration to fantastic… Pursuing the wow

I love teaching. It’s what I do for a living and its what makes me feel alive.

It’s a great feeling when I can show someone a few simple things that free up significant amounts of time… And as instructor, you get a great reward… The client gasps through a “wow!”

While I love teaching my corporate clients, teaching at college has always been veiled with a certain degree of frustration… Until recently…

Some deserve to be spanked

In business, we all have competitors.

We are told to NOT bash our competitors, as it makes us look bad.

But some competitors deserve a good bashing… what do you do?

Are you a Rock Star or Lip Syncer?

When you are creating a resume, you tend to list the things you have done,… customer service, cash handling, management, working with computers. You are trying to say you have experience with each of these. That the potential employer should hire you because you bring all this to the table.

But are you really skilled?

If you want to be good, realize you aren’t

I’ve never been great at sports.

One time while out on a Texas Scramble golf tournament I was getting notably frustrated as yet another ball tried to embed itself in a tree or rolled a mere 30 feet ahead..

A coworker who I consider a good friend, Doug Owen, told me a story that forever changed how I view these situations

Tackling the big ugly

So you have that big ugly thing to tackle…
Clean, organize, declutter…Something that you need to do, but really have no passion for…
Otherwise it would be done already.

The thing is that, the task has become so big, you don’t have time to do it, and it is big because you don’t want to do it anyway, so excuses to ignore it are both easy and welcome.

While you are happy to push it off to another day, your brain thinks you should be doing it and everything else in your life now.

It is a little nagging pressure that is adding both dissatisfaction and stress to your life.

What you need is a pomodoro…
