I am not a poet, but sometimes..

I wake Up In the Morning. Life is complex. Or is it? At times,  I smile. Why do I love sunrises and sunsets? At times,  I live for a dog and a cat. Why can they love without conditions? At times,  I live for my mother. Why do I feel lucky? At times,  I wonder. Why don’t I live more for me? At times,  I stress, for me. How long will I live? At times,  I stress for mankind. Where is the kindness, I believed in? At times,  Up early, 4am. Why do I love solitude in chaos? At times,  I wonder..   Are we all narcissistic? At times,  I cry.. Why is progress fleeting? At times  I scream.. Why won’t I give up on the ideal of goodness of mankind? At times,  I ponder. How to make peace in chaos? At times,  I sigh! Why is arrogance a human trait? At times,  I wonder. If computers do more harm than good? At times,  I look out on the ocean. Why do I like feeling small in a vast world? At times…  I feel stress, anxiousness....

When Two Rights Might be Wrong!

  Early in my career, I had a customer prospect. Replacing their current system was less money than the maintenance they were paying IBM for the old one. I was young and knew this was easy, and I was right. There was one option I had not considered—he cancelled maintenance. The system had not needed maintenance for years. I didn’t take the time to understand why he needed the new system beyond the obvious financial advantage, didn’t explore his requirements, and not only walked away from the sale, but I was paid on revenue, including the lost maintenance. In this case, from the right point of view, we were both right. But right came from assumptions, and facts that we saw differently, and his actions reflected what was right for him and his company. That experience taught me something important: there is rarely only one right answer. What looks obvious to you may not be right for someone else, and vice versa. Yet today, we seem fixated on being right. I made the right choice. I hav...

A Birthday, a Train Ride, and a Few Things I’ve Learned

Image
Wednesday was my Birthday! Actually, number 61, and it was a lovely day for me.  Started the morning walking along the beach, up and out at 5AM to chase what was another spectacular sunrise. This kid, maybe 28, was hopping on the train to Orlando before mine and was complaining about his birthday being the week of Thanksgiving, no parties, people forget, and no celebration.  I have never felt that way.  At 61, I am actually grateful.  To me, it's a number, and I don't feel 61.  How do we know what 61 is actually supposed ot feel like? There may be one advantage to age: a sense of experience and wisdom. So, I started a top ten list before my birthday, continued on the train yesterday, and this is a great time to finish it. Independence comes with a cost. I don’t remember when I made that choice; my therapist says it was around age eight, but it was the moment I decided I would stand on my own two feet and not depend on anyone. I also chose to accept responsibili...
