My Beliefs

No one is as powerful as someone who is motivated beyond reason to succeed.

A Prius is just as fast as a Ferrari in city traffic.

How much power and control you could gain is not as important as what you do with the power and control you already have.

First and foremost, each individual has a responsibility to positively impact their own personal sphere of influence. Only after mastering that does one move on to somebody elses.

Knowledge for its own sake is worthwhile, but application begets wisdom.

Sometimes the best thing to say or do is nothing.

Progress sometimes takes a long, boring time, sometimes quickly but manageable, and sometimes in cataclysmic suddenness; you need to know the difference.

The price of progress is the pain of change. - Hopkins

You don't have to hit me upside the head with a baseball bat too many times for me to figure out I don't like getting hit upside the head with baseball bat.

The biggest disrupters of life are 'more' and 'less', or in other words abundance and scarcity. Static is, by nature, stable but stagnant. More or less of anything: money, time, opportunity, labor, resources, people, ideas, products, anything -- disrupts the status quo and causes upheaval and causation, either negative or positive and sometimes both at the same time.

An apology without genuine repentance (that is with regret, remorse, resolve to change one's behavior) is just a fancy way of asking for a life-mulligan.

The Four Ps: Propose, Plan, Prepare, Produce.

The Three Cs: PersistenCy, ConsistenCy, FrequenCy

Dreams, wishes, and hopes are only lofty ideas, beautiful, desirable clouds. Goals have a numerical significance that can be followed and measured, and they always lead to results.

Rumor mongering, insult slinging, and personal ridicule are tactics of those who do not have a sound understanding of what they believe. They are the last resort of intellectually weak-minded people. And to use them first is a sign of intellectual and emotional immaturity.

The only absolute truth in Earthly human existence is simple arithmetic. 2 + 2 always equals 4. But more complex thought, including advanced mathematics, is open to personal interpretation and opinions. 

Talk is cheap. Accomplishment is priceless.
