MLC 30 Second Speech

Mid Life Celebration 30 second speech:

“I want to challenge the top 3% of the male Baby Boomers to do something great before they die.  As small as mending an important relationship, to helping raise money until a cure is found for an incurable disease”.

There, what was that, about 12 seconds?

Nearly eighty million Baby Boomers.  Half are men.  The top 3% of 40mil is 1.2 million.

These men, the elders, the movers and shakers, owe it to the world to leave it better than it is now.

They’ll have more discretionary income and certainly more discretionary time.

I challenge them to get off their butts and do something great.

Carpe diem!

30-Second Elevator Speech #2

Will others hold us up as a wonderful example, or a terrible warning?   I’m humbly working on leaving an enduring legacy for my son and wife.  I’ve developed a simple model for handling Life’s Big Decisions.  Through the power of the internet, I’m building a retirement business to make the world a better place before my time is up.  It is my hope that others, especially Baby Boomers and X-ers, will also do something great for humanity before their time is up.

What is our Spirit?

What is our spirit, and is it different from our mind and our body?  And, if it is different, how and why?

You can be a genius and have a poor attitude, or spirit.  You can be a relatively uneducated person and have a great attitude, or spirit.

You can be an Olympic athlete and have a poor attitude, or spirit.  You can have a crippled body and have a great attitude, or spirit.

Webster’s dictionary defines spirit in this way:

“2.  the thinking, motivating, feeling part of man, often as distinguished from the body;  mind;  intelligence”   6.  frame of mind;  disposition;  mood;  temper”   7.  vivacity, courage, vigor, enthusiasm, etc”   8.  “enthusiasm and loyalty”    10.  “a pervading animating principle, essential or characteristic quality, or prevailing tendency or attitude”   11.  “a divine animating influence or inspiration”

I believe the spirit is seperate from the mind (brain).  You can believe whatever you want.  It all depends on your attitude and tendancies.
