Thought of the Week |
What if, one day, you
decided to confront your fears face-to-face, to look them in the eye
and declare, "I will no longer allow you to control my life!" And
imagine your surprise when you looked into the abyss, only to
discover... you.

by Adjective |
by
Richard Fenton & Andrea Waltz
You've probably heard of the acronym "M.B.O." which stands for
"management by objective", first popularized by management guru Peter
Drucker in 1954. Well, here's an acronym you probably haven't
heard of... LBA... Living By Adjective. If you remember your
grammar lessons, an adjective is a word whose role is to give more
information about a noun. For example, a dog is a dog is a
dog, right? Well, it is until you add big, scrawny, scruffy, scary,
cute, wild, lovable, etc.... at which point the dog becomes something
else entirely.
Which bring us to the point about you and your life.
The newspaper here in Portland carried a front page article about comic
books, and they showed the first page of the original
Spiderman®. And there, at the bottom of the page, was
the "By Line" box with the names of the creators, comic book legends
Stan Lee, Steve Ditko and S. Rosen. But it didn't just show
their names - it read...
Stealthily Scripted by Stan Lee...
Painstakingly Plotted by Steve Ditko...
Lovingly Lettered by S. Rosen.
And, we believe, those adjectives made all the difference in the
careers of these legends, it's what put them head-and-shoulders above
their competition. Or should we say, their uninspired
competition. So, are you LBY? And, if you are, what do your
adjectives say about you?

Quotables from
the Go for No! Movie |
John Milton Fogg
(Answering the question: "How do you respond to hearing
NO?")... "A pretty immediate willingness to move on.
Realizing that that "No" is not the end of the world. That's how I used
to hold it. "No" is really like a death sentence. That sounds crazy
coming out of my mouth. And it's not - it's part of the game, it's part
of the journey."
