When you don’t know who you are

you cannot claim to be something

that someone says

you are.

I like being online. It feels so hidden.

When I am connecting with others in a social setting, I prefer to be on the internet. At the quantum level, we are all connected. The internet and social media are a bridge to that connectedness. As we progress and build social media infrastructure, we better understand each other and the telepathic revelations that result.

Telepathy

Sometimes when I am listening to someone, I am recording what they say.

One Day I recorded Randy Pausches’ Last Lecture.

Now, sometimes, when I perceive that someone is trying to put my dreams on hold, I replay some of the things Randy told me.

Thanks Randy.

We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand. If I don’t seem as depressed or morose as I should be, I’m sorry to disappoint you.

Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.

When you see yourself doing something badly and nobody’s bothering to tell you anymore, that’s a very bad place to be. Your critics are the ones telling you they still love you and care.

It’s very important to know when you’re in a pissing match. And it’s very important to get out of it as quickly as possible.

You can’t get there alone and I believe in karma.

Don’t complain; just work harder.

Be good at something. It makes you valuable.

The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people!

The best way to teach somebody something is to have them think they’re learning something else.

Do not tell people how to live their lives. Just tell them stories. And they will figure out how those stories apply to them.

Did you figure out the head fake? It’s not about how to achieve your dreams. It’s about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.

The Last Lecture

My paradox

I walk my walk
I talk my talk
And therein lies
My paradox

Don’t live in a box
My doors don’t have locks
And therein lies
My paradox

In the streets I hear the talk
I’ve had some hard knocks
And therein lies
My paradox

I’m funny as can be
I know a lot about stocks
And therein lies
My paradox
