Front row event seating rarely has a downside

TEDx AUK 2019
Front row seats are inside to the right.
TEDx AUK speakers
Omar, Melody and i are the first three speakers. Menna (white t-shirt) is a TEDx volunteer and Engineering student.
TEDx AUK speakers
(R-L) Me, Helen (#7), Mike (#6), and Ali (#5).
Omar Khalil TEDx AUK
Omar Khalil, a senior AUK computer science professor won my heart because of his youth, vision, and seemingly fearless demeanor.

Front row event seating rarely has a downside.

When then, does it have a downside?

When you are a speaker.

Particularly the kind of speaker that likes to prepare in the very back, out of sight.

Fear is one of two things for everyone

Lyft rides summary
After a lifetime of driving myself to the airport, enter Lyft. i will never use a taxi again. Doubtful i will ever drive myself and park at the airport again.

I have lived my life according to this principle: If I’m afraid of it, then I must do it.  – Erica Jong

Fear is one of two things for everyone.

  1. Discomfort
  2. Invitation

Discomfort doesn’t nurture nor feed our comfort zone, so we avoid or escape it.

Invitations are opportunities for the taking.

Everything takes longer than you expect

Disney Keynote Speakers
i’ve been dreaming for a few years that someone would cross my path that could create images like these. This image includes the Adobe Spark watermark. We’ve since upgraded the subscription to eliminate all watermarks.

 

Generally speaking, everything takes longer than you expect.

So please don’t become impatient or discouraged by your inability to quickly accomplish certain things.

Impatience and discouragement are sure bets for quitting.

Quitting leads to wondering “what might have been”.

“Might have been” leads to regret.

And reget, last time i checked, sucks.

The gift of another ordinary day – i’ll drink to that

Kentucky bourbon
Kentucky bourbon in the hotel room. Very few people have the willpower to drink just the right amount – which ranges from none to half an ounce. Imagine an elite athlete or world-class performer drinking just enough to become impaired before they do their thing. They’d never do it.

 

Kentucky bourbon
Doesn’t take much to produce a buzz. Like a kid in a candy shop, right? Somehow, candy shops make overindulging in sugar seem like a great idea. Same with this hotel room arrangement.

 

The gift of another ordinary day – i’ll drink to that.
