jeff noel thursday

Greetings from 32K feet. I’m on a Delta Airlines flight from Hartford, CT to Orlando and Walt Disney World.

It’s amazing, to me, that Internet access is now possible on commercial flights.

AirTran announced yesterday it will provide this on all their flights.

Delta is currently offering it on selected flights.

Some day, every airline will offer it on every flight.

It almost seems prehistoric that we haven’t reached that point yet.

Minutes ago, I finished my Lane 8 post, where a wrote about the impossible becoming “business a usual”.

At Disney, where I’ve worked for the past 25 years, our founders, Walt and Roy Disney, where focused on one thing – doing things that had never been done before.

Years later, what couldn’t be done, and they were the first to do, is now “business as usual”.

Good luck with your business and your “impossible” dreams today. Carpe diem, jeff noel, aka jungle jeff 🙂

What Difference Will You Make?

Will you make a difference today?

Did you yesterday?

Will you tomorrow?  Next week?  Next month?   Next year?

Most people want to make a difference.  It’s part of human nature, I think.

However, we should all be aware of a BFO – Blinding Flash of the Obvious – that we judge ourselves differently than everyone else judges us.

Make it a GREAT Monday!!  Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Do the Math?

Thirty-one to fifty?

What the?

Only 31 days until I turn 50.  The big 5-0!

Woo – hoo!  Seriously.

While some dread 50, I can’t wait.

Why dread something that is inevitable?

This is a hard thing to do – to not dread the inevitable.

How?

Don’t know exactly.  The way I figure it, we all have to deal with the inevitable in our own unique and special way.

Our choices are fairly straight-forward.  Positive or negative.  Victor or victim.  Surrender or suffocation.

Look, I’m not an expert at this.  I just happen to be almost 50.  What this means is that I’ve seen a lot, but certainly not everything.

So take this content for what it’s worth.  Simply a personal opinion from a guy who’s seen both heaven and hell.

Carpe diem and best wishes for discernment.  jeff 🙂

My goal in life is to become…

Our Dog is our Son.   And, my goal in life is to become the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

Think about it this way too:

Dogs are our link to paradise.  They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent.   To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring – it was Peace.”   — Milan Kundera

May the Peace that surpasses all understanding be with you today.   Life is hard.  Trust me, I know.  You know it too.  It’s hard for everyone in their own way.  All of us have the weight of the world on our shoulders.  And if we don’t currently, we either did or will soon.

Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂

Happy Easter

This is my fourth blog post today, so I’m taking a short cut.

Here’s the link to the third post.

Diversity

You’ll find it interesting, whether you believe in Easter or not.   And if you don’t find it interesting, I’m sorry.

Make today a day to, “Do Something Great!”, because if you don’t, who will?  Carpe diem, jeff  🙂
