Are We Trained For Them?
We all have addictions.
“No we don’t”, is the echo we can hear from some of you.
“Yes we do”, is the echo we can hear from some others, including myself.
Is it hereditary? Click here to read this article that suggests it is.
Pick your poison:

Best of the Best = Gold Medal
What does it take for these accolades:
- Person of the Year – Ben Bernachi
- Athlete of the Decade – Tiger Woods
- Top You Tube views – Susan Boyle
The last one, top You Tube views is amazing because of the staggering odds against it ever happening.
- 120,000,000 views
- More than 2nd, 3rd, & 4th most viewed combined
- Before last year, who the heck is Susan Boyle?
For everyone who isn’t embracing the Internet, you still have time.
Yesterday’s announcement of the iPad is just another indication the world is changing.
Embrace it or ignore it?
Pick one.

CAUTION!
Blah, blah, blah, right?
The Internet’s only Five-a-Day Blogger”…..
It started as a 100-day challenge to become a better writer, after a Father told his young son, “If you want to be a better reader, you should read a lot.”
So what happens yesterday? Not five daily blogs, but eight.
Recently, had a discussion and we talked about the future of books:
- Books will be relics on display in Museums
- eBooks will dominate
- Kindle will destroy the publishing industry
- The publishing industry will watch it happen
- Librarians will lose their jobs
- Unless they become Cybrarians
- There were 177,000 books published last year
- People think it’s hard to write a book
- Authors think their book will sell many copies
- Barnes & Noble will go out of business eventually
- People get ready (Bob Marley reference)
“Books” will be written one day at a time. In public, for the public.
Books will be free. Writers will be poor. And writers will come to realize that there are far too many choices.
A whole new paradigm is being created.
One page per day, almost like reality TV. People will read blogs, and over time, they will have “read a book” and not even know it.
Eventually, this new paradigm will give way to the next.

HA!
Some people label me as optimistic.
Some as having a positive attitude.
Others, say I’m audacious.
And some say, “That bird is crazy.”
Whatever you call it, “They said it, not me.”

What The?
Facebook.
Privacy.
Social norms.
Founder, CEO, Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook claims Privacy is no longer a social norm.
He’s right, but people older than 30 have their heads in the sand. If you are an entrepreneur, I’d read this article, reflect on it and figure out a way to stay current.
This issue opportunity is changing the Internet, which changes everything else.
PS. This is the second post today. Scroll down for the first.

An Olympian at age 50?
December 21, 2009. Can you believe it? Ten days until 2010 begins. A few questions we may consider asking ourselves.
Where did the time go?
Am I happy with what happened this past year?
Did I do what I said i was going to?
Did I do something every day that scared me?
Did I pray every day for my Family, Friends, and especially to all those people less fortunate?
Did I act in accordance with my loftiest thoughts?
Did I help make the world a little better place to live?
Did I strive for balance in life’s big four – Mind, Body, Spirit, Money?
Do I have a plan for 2010?

JC Penney ran a marketing campaign some time ago. I was just reminded of it.
Every Day Matters.
Yes it does, doesn’t it?

You Tube just announced it’s bid to remain the Internet’s leading video source.
But they better move quickly, because being number one doesn’t mean you get to stay number one.
Click here to read the article.
Seems that Hulu has made full-length video streaming free and expansive.
Where the heck was You Tube while Hulu was figuring this out?
I see things like this in the news and, because the funny way my brain works, immediately wonder , “So what does this me to me”?
The answer?
Everything.
Getting to the top spot in business, in life, in school, in athletics, etc, is one thing. Staying there is a completely different effort.
When you’re the underdog, your competition dismisses you. When you’re the champion, everybody want s to knock you off your throne.
Ya with me? Hope so. Make today a GREAT day to get there or stay there, because if you don’t, somebody else will.
Carpe diem, jeff noel
