The Information Explosion
We all live in a kind of surreal Matrix type world. Like it or not, that is just the way that things have always been. I for one don’t foresee any major changes with humanity in my lifetime.
On to the stage comes the information explosion. Technology is advancing rapidly right now on some very minute scales. Any individual with a computer and an Internet connection is able to explore the vast domain of information.
It is ironic that your child might find something which you would rather they hadn’t. The Internet is like traveling through the medieval Black Forest. Can you imagine what was really in that forest. Well I don’t even have to think to know that I would want save my kid.
I think more than ever the people need to make their choice about content. Install their own filters for the ones they want to protect.
The one who may need the most protection is you. So ask yourself.
- I should be protected as well as my children.
- Negative programing should be avoided.
- Questionable programing should be avoided
Let the information explode. Hooray for the human race. Let’s make it right with the world. Not tomorrow, but today.
Love,learn, live, laugh, and lead. Become the change.
Make it an awesome day. Grease the wheels of progress.
Integrity
Integrity, it has not gone out of style. Though
sometimes it seems otherwise it is still what we
all long to find. In our personal, and business life.
We all want to be told the truth even if we don’t
want to hear it. Lies always cause some kind of
conflict deep within us.
Have you noticed integrity seems to be very hard
to find these days. Every one is out for the quick
money.
Integrity is having the courage to follow your dreams
in spite of what the world around you might look like.
You truly will become the sum of your thoughts. Think
wisely and start the transformation, from what you
have been, to who you want to be. It truly is that simple.
If you remain in integrity you will become an inspiration
to all who are in your circle of influence.
Here is to you and your success.
William Muncrief
The power of one.
Sometimes our perspective can get clouded by the never ending hum of this modern world of ours. In order to keep a focus on anything requires a discipline that comes from consistant actions.
I wish that I were able to stay on top all of the time, but just like everyone I have my occasional slip. I find the integrity required for productive action is not an easy road. However if you patiently start to change your actions daily, the strength will come.
You see people are not much different than dogs as far as motivation goes. Most will look for a nice place to just lay down. Well with all of the problems in the world today we can no longer lay around.
No one else is going to fix the problems, it is up to each and every one of us to do our part. The time has come to help instead of take.
One person is all it takes to get the right movement started. Who knows you may be that person.
We can all use a media break every single day. Think of how many hours each of us has wasted on needless media. Let’s read write and do for this world and each other.
To change or not to change it is not a question.
We live in a world that is rapidly changing. Each day we
hear about something that takes us totally by surprise.
So what do you believe about what you hear? Does the
world seem a bit out of order and standing on the brink
of disaster? We as a people are faced with challenges that
are very daunting indeed.
More than ever we all are called to deliver our very best.
The world is in crisis and needs our help. From global
warming, to the intolerance that people have for each
other. The only way that any of us can change this down-
ward spiral is to take a look in the mirror.
Change is never an easy thing to accomplish, however over
time all things become easier.
How green are you? Do you conserve your resources or
are you a consumer. Mankind is running out of room on
this planet so conservation is of the utmost importance
for the survival of life as we know it.
What is your attitude toward people? We must all learn
to share this planet. We must all learn to look for the good
in people. We must start by learning how to like that person
that we see in the mirror.
So picture this, one person at a time making a difference
for a healthier world. Only through the power of the
individual can this world be salvaged. People must respond
to the needs of our world both socially and environmentally.
When a person puts their own life in order, and removes the
focus from the outside world they are able to do great things.
Some very ordinary people have risen to the top of a given
field or profession simply with the change of a mindset.
Believe it.
I sometimes like to compare life to sports. When you dive
off of a diving board your intentions had better be to succeed.
One split second of doubt, and splat you are going to do the
classic belly flop. So your focus must be positive.
Is it enough to change with people and the environment? No!
Today more than ever with the globalization of commerce we
must focus on being good business stewards as well.
It is very true that with a higher income you can bring
about a much larger change both socially and in the
environment. So by all means be as successful as you
possibly can.
You see with a large bank account you affect many lives.
So business is one of the best things you can do to save
the world from the darkness that is facing it.
The kind of business you start is totally up to you. We
live in the land of opportunity so go for it while you still
can. Imagine if you will, a huge percentage of people
making their own way. Where people are empowered
and are providing service to one another.
For a society to truly be productive it must be integrated
and very active. Idle minds and bodies always produce the
evil that society is so afraid of. Unfortunately when the
idle minds are controlling the government its collapse is
eminent. Our nation stands on the edge of such an event.
At this point in time the taxpayer supports a number
greater than itself by some manner of government
assistance. This number is expected to rise dramatically
in the next decade. We as a people have to change this trend
dramatically. Government cannot continue to grow
unchecked simply because the idle need more programs.
Democracy always fails when the people have learned that
they can raid the treasury through their vote.
What do we do. We go back a few steps. We go back
to being the productive brave nation we once were. If
we cannot turn this corner and change this trend then we
are simply going to be devoured by the up and coming
productive nations.
Go to work. Start a business. Get involved. If you love
this great nation called America, be American, be
productive.
