100% Matters: Man vs. Machine Part II

Today, I was sitting a a meeting surrounded by people who were 100% into what we were doing.  Me, I was struggling dealing with the inner conflict of Man vs. Machine.  As I watched the passion illuminated their eyes,  they were overly articulate about the topic of discussion and dedicated to finding solutions.  It was as if I was an observer, because I did not feel the same way.  I was there merely because it was required of me.  As I traveled home, I realized that the pursuit and the challenge just was not there and the daily tasks that should stimulate and motivate my thoughts are simply mudane.  I realized that the truth is 100% matters.  You hear it all the time, but in many instances we program ourselves to do what needs to be done regardless of the fufillment it brings to your life.  It's really auto-pilot.  If you've been living life on auto pilot, I encourage you to take over  again and drive purposely to your destination regardless of how uncomfortable it may be (trust me it's extremely uncomfotable).  Always remember as an innovator 100% matters!

Knowledge Never Gets Old...Only More Relevent

It's funny how knowledge only becomes more relevent with time.  I remember the first time I was introduced to the Rich Dad philosophy, my sophmore year in college (more that 6 years ago), the economy was fundamentally strong... consumer confedence had began to take a dive, but the housing marking was bustling and real estate investments were all the rave.  Fast forward to today and people are either struggling to keep or struggeling to get rid of real estate.  Be that as it may, there is still wealth to be accumulated and with loss brings eventuall opportunity.  I encourage you to take the time read "Rich Dad's" (Robert Kiyosaki's) story.  He, his wife and a mutal friend not only made a decision, but acted on it ansd amased a great amount of wealth in a short amount of time.  This video is a general introduction to the Rich Dad philosophy and the general message is change!
