All improvement is incremental

All improvement is incremental…

Improvement stems from the magic of compound interest.

Countless small iterations.

In hindsight, it turns out that each iteration required all the preceding iteration attempts— all the failures and the successes.

The more you try, the more you fail.

The more you fail, the closer you get to improvement. Until one day, a small, never-been-tried tweak or a sudden, random idea creates a eureka moment.

What feels like a breakthrough in reality is a culmination of small, almost invisible positive steps toward the eureka moment.

This is great news.

2 Communication timing basics

Timing influences communication. 

Talk about potential mistakes before they happen and people start looking for ways to prevent them. 

Talk about actual mistakes after they happen and people start looking for reasons to defend their actions. 

What do you and i need to be talking about now/next week, so we can learn the lessons before we need them?

Take everything we own

woman on a loading dock with boxes
August, 1984. Clothes. Personal effects. Kitchen stuff. No furniture. No appliances. We were leaving a Washington State University Residence Hall. Residence Hall Director, Cheryl, pictured here. It was a fully furnished and stocked apartment.

Take everything we own, to Orlando, Florida.

That’s what we paid for. Because that’s what we needed.

We didn’t have much, yet our growth-mindset whispered, “You have it all.”

Random photo, mind

Cheryl with her cousin, her cousin’s son and daughter-in law.

Today’s posts are simply random photos as i scroll through each blog’s media library. There are thousands of photos in each blog’s media library. It’s tedious to view them. It’s also kinda fun. Almost therapeutic. Presently sitting outside in November’s 75-degree weather at dinner time (5pm).

Cheryl is in France.

Chapin finished his Disney shift and is out for the evening.

Now it’s just me, finally finishing today’s blogs.
