Trust no one

Trust no one.

There’s a reason most people are not Facebook friends with their neighbors.

Too much is

Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.

Mae West

Took Mae West’s quote and tweaked it to more accurately convey my thinking (.differently)…

Too much of a good thing is wonderful.

Too much positivity?

High 5, day 5

Yesterday’s nine-second video surprise surprised even me.

Why?

Because in .thinking .differently, the focus is simple – no photos.

No photos could be assumed to mean no visuals.

But here’s the catch…

That was never clear.

It may have seemed clear, but ‘seemed like’ is not clear.

Never made a statement that said this experiment will contain no visuals of any kind.

No picture creates pressure

No picture creates pressure to create interest and or enjoyment using only words.

Why would anyone read something that doesn’t have a visual magnet?

Much like the first routine things you do every morning, no one has any interest. But offer a photo or two and it’s a different ballgame.

Diggin’ day four of this photo-less blogging experiment.

66 – 80

Thought Cheryl and i would spend 40 years each at Walt Disney World. Can you imagine one couple serving and leading (and having fun) for 80 years combined?

Turns out our 66 combined years of Disney Service is perfect. Cheryl with 36 years and me retiring 10 years early with 30 years of service.

.think .differently

My decade-early departure (retirement in 2014) was a six-year plan spurred on by two things:

First, a catalytic Disney layoff in 2008-09…the Real Estate and Banking collapse (the Great Recession, akin to the Great Depression).

Second, the realization that i should have a Plan B in case this ever happened again.

Historical note: It did happen again in 2020 when Covid-19 decimated Disney operations world-wide. Roughly 30,000 Cast Members in Florida and California were laid off and eventually terminated. Disney Institute went from approximately 170 Cast Members to about 20.
