Accepting false limits

Accepting false limits

I will never be able to dunk a basketball.

This is beyond discussion.

Imagine, though, a co-worker who says, "I'll never be able to use a knife and fork. No, I have to use my hands."

Or a colleague who says, "I can't possibly learn Chinese. I'm not smart enough."

This is a mystery to me. A billion people have learned Chinese, and the failure rate for new kids is close to zero. If a well functioning adult puts in sufficient time and the effort, she''ll succeed.

The key to this disconnect is the unspoken part about time and effort and fear. I agree that you will never ship that product or close that sale or invent that device unless you put in the time and put in the effort and overcome the fear. But I don't accept for a minute that there's some sort of natural limit on your ability to do just about anything that involves creating and selling ideas.

This attitude gets me in trouble sometimes. Perhaps I shouldn't be pushing people who want something but have been taught not to push themselves. Somewhere along the way, it seems, I forgot that it's none of my business if people choose to accept what they've got, to forget their dreams and to not seek to help those around them achieve what matters to them.

Not sure if you'll forgive me, but no, I'm not going to believe that only a few people are permitted to be gatekeepers or creators or generous leaders. I have no intention of apologizing for believing in people, for insisting that we all use this moment and these assets to create some art and improve the world around us.

To do anything less than that is a crime.

A Stealth Downsizing, as Shoppers Pay More for Less Food

With unemployment still high, companies in recent months have tried to camouflage price increases by selling their products in tiny and tinier packages. So far, the changes are most visible at the grocery store, where shoppers are paying the same amount, but getting less.

For Lisa Stauber, stretching her budget to feed her nine children in Houston often requires careful monitoring at the store. Recently, when she cooked her usual three boxes of pasta for a big family dinner, she was surprised by a smaller yield, and she began to suspect something was up.

“Whole wheat pasta had gone from 16 ounces to 13.25 ounces,” she said. “I bought three boxes and it wasn’t enough — that was a little embarrassing. I bought the same amount I always buy, I just didn’t realize it, because who reads the sizes all the time?”

via nytimes.com

Since we buy mostly fresh, organic fruits and veggies we're used to the fluctuation in price but lately the quantity of food vs. the cost has stood out a bit more. Especially when we buy a bag of chips, peanut butter or a can of chickpeas or black beans. Later in the article they point out how food company will add a scoop to a peanut butter container so that you get less peanut butter. I checked my peanut butter container and low and behold there's a indented scoop on the bottom. Sneaky.

Today's episode is another quick one influenced by a long drive to Jupiter Island and a captive listen to the Bright Eyes performance at this years SXSW and recorded by NPR.  Essentially its a collection of my three favorite tracks from the Bright Eye's Album The People's Key. There are a few other solid tracks on the record but to me these tree tracks make a fantastic spaced out EP. So I lumped them together as such.  Enjoy!

Tracks:

1. Firewall - Bright Eyes - The People's Key

2. Approximate Sunlight - Bright Eyes - The People's Key

3. One For You, One For Me - Bright Eyes - The People's Key

Whoa! We've made it to Thursday! 

Another quick episode, recorded with the iPhone again because, well it's quick. And, yes, I did use a sock to reduce the pops and clicks but made the mistake of recording in the dining room... a little too cavernous sounding. I'm really looking forward to Mike from Apogee that should make quick recordings sound really nice.

Tomorrow is Friday, Hell yeah! Lets see If I can pump out one more episode!

1. PDA - Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights

3. Chase the Tear - Portishead - Chase the Tear

Whoa! Another episode already? Yup.  This time I experimented with using my iPhone to record the voice overs, worked pretty well except for a few pops on P's and S's. I'll use a popper stopper next time, like maybe a sock or something. Todays episode is a quick one and leans a bit more to the Bass music side of things. Enjoy!

So... I'm in Desperate need of Coffee...

Let's ignore the fact that both the heat and caffeine in coffee reeks havoc on my face (thanks to the Celtic curse known as Rosacea).

Last night was rough! Ember kept us up most of the night, then to seek refuge I went to the couch... where I tossed and turned for the next 3 1/2 hours until my alarm went off.

So in the hopes of getting a little extra boost this morning I head into a Dunkin Doughnuts near my clients office in Boca. I'm stoked, I can almost taste that wonderfully bitter black coffee as I walk up to the door... But then horror strikes.

A makeshift sign hangs on the door...

"CASH ONLY! sorry."

Ugh. Of course I only have a $1.00 on me the day the credit card machine is down.

Feeling optimistic and perhaps slightly too exhausted to think clearly I proceed in anyways in hopes that maybe the machine will accept a debit transaction.

No dice.

Then something wonderful happens.

The manager proceeds to ask... "What did you want to order?"

A small black coffee I reply.

And then magically he returns with a small, steaming cup of black coffee and says "Don't worry about it, you can pay for it later."

What?

I can have it anyway?

Wait a minute... Is today some sort of holiday? Oh wait, today is a holiday!

My guess is they were handing out the drinks anyway just to keep the regulars happy but for a minute there I though to my self..."Wow, I must look like I really needed it!".

Maybe it was a little of both.

Needless to say I'm now sipping the finest free coffee and ready to take on the rest of the day.

Thank you Dunkin Doughnuts manager guy and Happy St. Patricks Day everybody!
