Dear Son – Page 3 – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

Dear Son category reprise, home

Disney keynote speaker objectives slide — Have long believed that if it isn’t fun, i’m not doing it.

Apple's Keynote admin screen — Left column, this is the first slide. And, then look at the third slide down.

Been saying this since 2014…

Have fun.

.think .differently

Lean into discomfort.

Note: These are my three keynote speech objectives.

Apple Watch fitness app screen inside Publix grocery store store — Waiting at Pharmacy. Still 1.5 miles from home.

Apple Watch fitness app — After all the goodness of the day, a great night’s sleep is a welcomed, and an expected, reward.

Dear Son,

Writing for myself, first and foremost, has helped me be a better parent.

How do i know?

Gut feeling.

Writing everyday forces me to think deeper, reach higher, care more, and work harder.

100% fatality rate, home

It’ll take a few seconds, or a few decades. Depends on the goal.

Spam text — This text is brilliant marketing. The sender is preying on the receiver becoming so annoyed they respond. The spammer then wins. The spammer is aiming to “win” with every text.

Apple customer experience feedback message — Brent, my Apple associate, was remarkable. Gave him a glowing review. There were glitches in the brand new tradeout to the smaller phone. He was so graceful.

None of us get out of this life alive.

Not sure of my best-home-life-habits fatality rate after i’m gone.

Over-focus on the same things you used to under-focus on or ignore.

Three Chalet Nights

college apartment building — Each building has four four-bedroom apartments. That’s 16 bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, four kitchens, and four living rooms.

three adults — One final ‘goodbye’ photo.

Apple Watch — Turns out it’s about one mile to the summit. All of it uphill.

two adults — Our Pacific Beachfront apartment is in the right shoreline. Too many white condo buildings to pick it out specifically.

We said farewell to our Son’s Apartment.

He turned in his key and said goodbye.

During our first visit in January, we became friends with the new owner. Denise talked about having us visit their Brisbane hometown and see some sights. It didn’t work out but it was a nice thought.

Seeing his room empty again brought back memories of our first day six months ago. It also conjures up memories of our Glacier Chalet visits: sparse accommodations yet having everything you need.

Only days away from a three-week countdown to my 2024 return to the Continental Divide.

Senior Year Day 4, home

48-second video: Returning from Glacier, visited Magic Kingdom three times; Monday, Thursday, and Friday (yesterday). Never planned to visit back to back days.

Stumbled upon this today. Reminded that lower-casing your name is rarely done, especially on a ‘professional’ network.

It is my greatest act to let my life be my message.
