Your stories have inspired me to finally take the challenge of moving to Australia to be with my Son.
Thank you for your notes of courage.

One final thought….

From what I read of the entries you referenced above, my perception is that you place a premium on knowledge and on understanding a business better than the competition?

KNOWLEDGE….

….Perhaps this is too philosophical, but I believe all knowledge, every conceivable idea, already exists in the universe. From my perspective (and I’m not an educated person), it seems that specific knowledge, and true genius, only reveals itself to certain people. Those certain people, like yourself, are better “tuned in” to receive that particular knowledge, or creativity….

No doubt you’re a genius Mark….The way you blend ideas to come up with new concepts; new twists for old ideas. I suppose that is your “gift.” (BTW….For all the cynics out there, I’m not trying to be a “kiss ass”….I’m conveying a true belief.)

I’ve often wondered why some people have “natural talent” ….while others do not. Why is it that Stevie Ray Vaughan was a musical genius, yet I struggle to imitate his most basic guitar licks? My belief is this….All knowledge and creativity already exists, this information is flowing throughout the universe….Kind of like radio stations of consciousness. A great guitarist like SRV was better “tuned in” to that particular stream of universal musical knowledge….In other words, Stevie Ray Vaughan had better reception for the musical knowledge that already existed in the universe, therefore he became a musical genius. He channeled that “radio station” better than I am able to….

I’m sure some of your readers are scratching their heads, or rolling their eyes, at my comments. I guess what I’m trying to say is that we all have to find which “radio station” we are best tuned in to….Then we will find our true genius and reach our fullest potential as individuals. By the way, I’m 36 years old and I have yet to find my best “reception”….I’m not sure which station I’m best tuned to….but I’m still looking….

(P.S. I wish I could articulate the thoughts above more clearly.)

Mark,
I enjoyed reading the Success & Motivation stories. I’m 31 and currently in college, a major in Network Administration. I guess that I really need to get started on reading that CISCO manual right now! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.
