Does the mainstream media never tire of these worn-out images?

Expect some commentary very soon, after I’ve read it.

From the looks of things, it’s not very promising, unfortuantely.

Wouldn’t it be great if the MSM would drag its lazy behind out of 2002 into 2006? Eesh.

Yesterday, my blog got lot more hits then it usually gets. Reason? Someone posted this post on Digg.com. My post didn”t even make to the fornt page and still look at the results !!

George Bernard Shaw (pictured left)
People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.

Albert Einstein
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
 
Nelson A. Rockefeller
Wherever we look upon this earth, the opportunities take shape within the problems.

Henry D. Thoreau
You cannot dream yourself into a character: you must hammer and forge yourself into one.

Michael Althsuler
The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.

Here are some handy questions to help you with your problem solving.

• Problem identification - What is my concern? Define it…
• Goal definition - What do I want to achieve or change?
• What’s maintaining the problem? Why does it continue to be a problem?
• What are the major features of the problem? Break it down
• What aspects of the problem can be worked with? What can I do?
• Consequences - What might happen? Worst/best case?
• Decision/Action - How and when should I do it?
• Implementation - Do it!
• Evaluation - Did it work?
