Coasting to a stop.

Decided to rest and didn’t know what that meant.

There were no schools teaching this art, or science.

We feel sure the Big Name Universities (“colleges”) will soon offer a course in resting and give Masters and Postgraduate certificates of worthlessness.

There is a scam a big scam, going on. Intelligence has been confused with a university education. What an entangled mess.

Of course with the right degree we could all be even more boring!

A hidden milestone for an unknown event.

An unrevealed great deed.

A cat, a wildcard and a chrome strip.

Boldly go where someone went before.

True adventures in the most obvious places.

Take the rough road, the high path, the steep edge and the bold invitation.

It’s always better when there is nobody to confirm that idea.

Don’t stand by as it all unfolds, unfold your version.

Does this mean you should exert influence, change things, change the course of history?

If you are good, and you know this, then yes.

We need all good people to lead their world every day.

I always try to do just that in every small way, and if we all do then this becomes Big Good!

When one company stands out in times of strife, caring for customers and doing and meaning what they say, they deserve to do well.

More important than anything else is truth, transparency and reputation.

A company like a person, gets most respect when being and seeming straight-talking and honest.

We will make sure there is more of this…and please help in this effort!

Always….a better world.

The little notebook and the world summit.

The young student wrote in a notebook the size of two postage stamps.

Using a small fountain pen the lettering was legible, decorative, stylized and elegant.

Words combined as a political treatise were in fact the perfect lyrics for a song.

I should learn to play saxophone because that’s all that’s needed to complete this music of the centuries.
