Recognize and Respect others will often be MISSING our abilities. It is not just sports people who are talented! They just found what they love and are obsessed by it! I would be happy being a good Educator, sharing important knowledge .. never mind famous Sports person. If I made a few people's lives better, that would be my olympic medal. Now I just have to find ways to make $ from it!
But even if I used my talent of finding cute fun inexpensive gifts for people .. not everyone is good at that! Hmm! I should do an online store!! Go back to our Resource from Alberta, (link). It will take us time to put together our INVENTORY of skills and talents. Nobody taught us to get to know our-SELF.
I wanted to be an Architect, but the Degree was long and expensive, so I thought maybe a Designer. Never got to Parsons, choose to get married instead, dammit. But every time I looked at housing and floor plans to relax at night, I saw stupid errors of Design that would make life less pleasant. Why did I not go to Developers and offer my consulting Architecture and Design services? a) We were never taught the AUDACITY of setting up our OWN BUSINESS and income (especially women in the 60's)! and b) I had no confidence plus very much self sabotage.
Do not waste your life as I did .. doing things I am NOT good at, making life more of a struggle than necessary!
Just now I was looking for a new place .. immediately seeing ridiculous design flaws. Obviously others ?more qualified do not have my natural skill. Of course now that there is no common sense this flaw requires NO TALENT. See this floor plan. Why would ANYONE locate the beautiful LARGE window in the bedroom, but have minimal sunlight or view in the Living, Dining room OR kitchen? I do not really need a view or sunlight at night WHEN I AM ASLEEP!!
DAMN! That takes no skill or talent! That is just COMMON SENSE, LOGIC and REASON which we have NO more of. So I guess today my skill is finding fault and complaining. (But a society mostly "brain dead" will not listen, so we have a SAD situation .. see the STAND page (?link)
Do you know how fast I would hire a good window washer? It would take me hours I do not have, yet it would still be a lousy unsatisfactory job. I have no $, but I need TIME more importantly! You would get my money.
NOOOO!!! Bitcoin stupidity now takes the energy of ARGENTINA! (Used to be only the energy of (?SWITZERLAND?) before bitcoin went crazy) .. or 700 years of Cambridge University's energy use! For what? a new stupid casino stock trade!!?? How does Bitcoin solve the collapse we face .. in every System of our society? (Mar 27, 2021)
Yet the Blockchain COULD be bigger than the internet to solve our problems. But no one understands or cares. (McGilchrist's "use/Left hem." vs "understand/ right Hem." resources). Nope .. our brains and VISIONARY creativity or REAL "invention" have truly LEFT THE PLANET!
We need to go back to local. Why are we so INSANE we need broccoli .. FROM EQUADOR? maybe if Suez ship stays stuck.. we will be forced to be a bit more sensible!??
Bored RETIRED FBI Director to school bus driver?? .. !! .. AMAZING! and he gives all the pay to charity.
There's much to see here. So, take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about us. We hope you enjoy our site and take a moment to drop us a line.
