On Self-Knowledge
Enslavement starts with a mental process way before it reaches the physical manifestation people may be used to conceiving. When you capture the mind, the body is taken by default. When you observe people taking action without knowing their Why, can’t articulate their reasoning for actions, it’s a sign the …
Data Is, Was & Will Be
This will be a continuous dialogue as I venture deeper into the software developer / data / cyber world. Even before these industries became prominent, positioned as attractive for the greater population to explore, the idea of data and its value has been around for millennia. Ancient Data Science From …
Observations Out During The PNDMC
((This was a journal entry written early in March when the global health PNDMC crisis escalated.)) Peripheral vision is affected; the mask blocks the downward perspective (I tripped twice last year while walking over uneven ground; this never happens. I trip over something maybe once in two years if that). …
MCP: Dissolving Dependency

Self-Interest Vs. Self-Benefit
The two appear to be the same but have distinct energies. Reflecting back to undergrad, there was a time when “servant leadership” was on the business agenda list. In the texts, among the types of leadership described, servant leadership was given most praise. The way this form was described made …
Make BookBuddy Your Book Buddy
I must say it’s taken some time to discover a library-recording tool that can last long-term. When accumulating knowledge resources, it can be done in a haphazard way, acquiring books on a whim, storing them away, sometimes never seeing them again because they become lost amidst the collection…a more impulsive …
Thought on Focus & Fortifying Against Distraction
Much focus goes towards self-development and the forward-moving action, it’s a movement and has been for some time, which is beneficial because a person’s energy goes where the mind flows or concentrates. With more commentary in this area, however advanced or elementary, the culture becomes more permeated with ideas in …
3 Ways to Avoid Becoming Thought-Sheep
What can be more dangerous than a physical attack? A mental one of course. Subtler and intangible, a mental assault can do its job in seconds, quietly penetrating the psyche, weaving into the mind as an idea, latching onto the host’s intellect. Contorting the emotions. Those familiar with the Naked …
The Most Dangerous Job & Most Valuable Assets
“What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others.” – Confucius “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the ax.” – Lincoln “If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it …
Response to Cultivating Genius Podcast
Podcast Source I agree with some points and see a pattern with a number of these studies. Agree Prodigies don’t always become geniuses. It’s because genius requires a specific chemistry involving character traits, a certain perception and intelligence-creativity. Disagree Geniuses always have large influence in the world. No they don’t. …
A Wise One Says, “Step Back and Reach Your Goals”
One of my event attendees [Goal Set 2020] wrote about her experience at the workshop. It’s an admirable quality to me, when someone is driven enough to immediately reflect on an experience, put the logic to practice, and processes the emotional content that may have come through. Software developer Karolina …
The Hero’s Journey & Love-Worthy
Of the topics covered during the recent Goal Set 2020 event, one stood out from the survey: taking care of oneself. Once we set out to realize some goal, we by its nature create these archetypes Joseph Campbell became well-known for illustrating on the hero’s journey [they’re described in my own words …
Practical Desire & Know Thyself Assessments
Part of the recent Goal Set 2020 workshop involved distilling intent. If we think of a general distillation process, we’re stripping some substance of the extra layers to reveal its essence. Get to the “heart of the matter,” some may say. “Strip it down to its root,” others might say. Give me “the …
Goal Set 2020 Workshop: Reflect. Plan. Execute.
Beware shiny objects. Greener grass. Persuasive promises. Newest trends gone with the wind. The latest hacks that don’t last. While cool for the moment, true value is demonstrated when the creation can stand the test of time; check an antiquarian book price to validate for example. My colleague Jacqueline Ore …
Handwriting & Computer Writing
Over the years I’ve observed how effective computer writing tends to be. Prior to undergrad, I was nearly exclusively handwriting. I took a picture some years back of how many journals piled up from the notes and full-length pieces. Quite the collection. [Can no longer find it.] Thinking about it now, …
