When will we learn to bite off only what we can chew?

Right-Sized,  the picture above seemed so perfect for this story idea. Maybe you have  seen a Dog like this, excited to have found a tree branch to chew on.  Not really understanding that it is too big for him to carry.

Rarely  do we see him let go of the first one, testing out others until he  finds the right fit. He’s just too excited, he keeps trying to drag it  along. I for one have to admire his perseverance.

Maybe it’s because we have so much in common, Its a constant battle for me to be right sized.

Bob Harper set’s us off looking from another angle, not as a canine, but as human beings. I have noticed this behavior in all obese people. So we will make this number one.

Like in many things, getting started can be the toughest obstacle. Especially if it’s new to us or unknown.

I knew this 20 years ago when I asked myself, “how can I” become an investor.

The  memory is fresh of how daunting it seemed. I did not really understand  any of it, all I did know was my desire to create something more from  very little.

So, I just keep pushing forward.

Back  then, I had a Yahoo account that came with a free email and some other  tools. It still does today, but I’ve moved over to Google, same tools  only better.

While resisting, you are locked in, unable to break free, you create nothing new.

“I’m  going to write a book on it,” I told my buddy Thane a decade ago while  we were working on a Gatorade project in a nationwide grocery store  chain.

The Assistant Store Manager had just given us a hard time even though we had a letter of permission  to complete work in his, and 40 other stores in the chain. The store  management had been sent an email from corporate alerting them we would  be coming.

I  did the best selling job on him I could, mentioning the manager’s name  in the store we had just come from, showing him the company logo on the  letterhead his corporate office had given us. No luck. He resisted.

The Serenity Prayer:

While  thinking about this subject, I wondered where I had first encountered  this prayer. Suspecting it was somewhere in my childhood home, I began  an investigation and called my Mother.

To  my disappointment, She did not remember having any representation of it  in our house. I knew where I had come to know it later in life, but now  I wondered where it came from early on.

Seeing  a news story about a county I have history with, stirred up some old  scars. Just a few days ago Texas decided they would still use corporal  punishment in schools. Texas School District Approves Paddling as a Punishment.

Back  in my youthful days at Western Plateau in Amarillo Texas, I was not  always viewed as a model student. Let me give you an example.

On  most spring days the school administration opened all entry doors  leading outside. I don’t remember why maybe we had no air conditioning.

Have ever spent hours  on a story that suddenly disintegrates mysteriously into the Abyss?  I’ll share a few ways to reduce that possibility right now.

Excerpt:

In  the business world, the term shrinkage refers to all the ways  productivity and assets can be lost, stolen, or spoiled causing losses  in time, money, and bottom line profits.

Twice  this week I have labored, typed and toiled for hours only to have my  pinky finger hit some key or series of keys, on my laptop causing the  work to vanish. It literally just happened again, this time I had taken a  new action and only lost half the story.

This  has to be stopped. It hasn’t happened to me at home, only remotely on  my laptop. I’ve tried to recreate the event for discovery into what is  occurring, but to no avail. My suspicion is, there is a culprit, the function key marked FN. This key does not appear in the same spot on my desktop.
