What Do China And Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary Have In Common?

Answer…most everyone in each place would like to get out.

Each place has a fair amount of daily “peace” going on. As long as you don’t rock the boat in prison (or in China) you can live your daily life in relative peace. But you have no freedom. And you can bet the majority in each place would trade their peaceful existence for freedom.

America was founded on the principles of freedom. Freedom from…and freedom to.

Freedom from religious oppression and tyrannical leaders. Freedom to assemble, speak, bear arms, etc. And our freedoms are very often the tools would-be tyrannical leaders use against us. It’s ironic but true.

As a web copy specialist I enjoy the freedom to express myself and write creatively and productively for my own businesses and the businesses of clients all around the world. (see what kind of things happen when people are free to create here) And I, like so many others, can tend to take my freedom for granted. That’s the enigma of freedom. It makes a free people lackadaisical about how and why they’re free.

I’ve posted a really easy poll about this on my LinkedIn profile. You’re FREE to stop by and give your opinion.

Great Ideas Beat Pessimism Every Time

You may believe what the TV talking heads say, but I don’t. They can’t even get the weather right most of the time, so why would we think they can get human idiosyncrasies right?

Okay…this isn’t actually a rant. It’s an expose’. As a web copy specialist I’m always on the lookout for technology, gadgets, and ways to improve my personal existence…as well as the results I get for my clients. It’s not just about black words on a white screen for me. It’s about ideas.

I heard a very smart guy once say “Small minds talk about people. Mediocre minds talk about things. But great minds talk about ideas.”

Here’s a video of what can happen when we focus our minds on ideas. It’s these kinds of things that will create whole new industries. The possibilities are endless…

Don’t know about you, but I like the idea of creating instead of lamenting. Remember your own can-do spirit, and get your mind on ideas. Turn off the TV where small minds are talking about people. Turn off the radio where mediocre minds are talking about things. Turn on your brain and do something great.

Stay tuned,

A Web Copy Specialist Still Needs To Persist, Too

Even though I know a lot about how to create a nice WordPress blog, create results-getting content, and get great search engine results I still have to endure internet or hosting glitches. And I’ve just spent over a week maintaining persistence.

After my upgrade to WordPress 2.8 my “visual editor” was just gone. Yep, it didn’t exist in my admin section anymore. And if I tried to paste html code in that section, then the visual section would show the code tags. Yikes! I sent support tickets to WordPress, but they’re really busy so I didn’t get a reply…not yet.

Then, it hit me. My WordPress blog is actually hosted with a company who has an extremely handy “one-click install” feature for WordPress. I logged in there and decided to take a chance on re-installing the WP 2.8 upgrade. I just finished that a few minutes ago, and Voila! I’m using my visual editor and all the wonderful, easy WYSIWYG features again. Aahh…like a breath of fresh air. It was frustrating to have no writing access to post my daily info, but I kept at it and found a solution.

Here’s my take on life in general:  Life is a problem…or series of problems. That won’t change until you assume room temperature. So the key is this…don’t focus on problems. Focus on solutions. And do it every time a problem arises. You may as well start from that perspective because you’ll be in control of your thought process. If you focus on the problem, you’ll eventually have to focus on the solution, but only because you’re forced to. Not because you took control from the beginning.

Now…get back to work and conquer your problems with some creative solutions.

Stay tuned,
