NOTICE!!!! ...notice the different shifters?

As you travel through this blog you will see pictures of different "shifters".

Why? Different paradigms require different types of shifting or change to maneuver through them. A BMW will have a different type of gear shift than a Hemi-Dodge Pickup or a Shelby Mustang.

The different shifters are symbolic of the fact that a person must be willing to make different types of "shifts" or "changes" to make daily progress in ones life. One "shift" will not work in our ever changing world. Allow the pictures of the gear shifts to remind you of the need to be open to numerous ways of changing your paradigms that make up who you are as a person.

Can you spot paradigms and distinguish between ones that need to never change and those that will change with time?


There are paradigms in every sector of our society. Below is what I wrote in "sports speak" or the lingo of the sporting world to several people and publications.


As I look back on it I see that what we are dealing with is really "paradigms" and shifting to new ways of thinking. See what I am talking about in the words below. Can you spot the paradigms either referred to directly or indirectly in my writing?


Here is what I wrote...



Florida showed last night why the smack-talk of the Big Twelve was just that...talk! What happened to that 60plus point prolific offense that no one could stop? This shows why it was wrong to give the Oklahoma Quarterback the Heisman! Anyone could have put up the yards and points that he did this season if they were playing against "pop warner Big Twelve Defenses". I guess Stoops got stooped!


We need to be able to spot paradigms and see them in most cases as not being set in stone. Yes, murder being wrong is a paradigm that is consistent and should never change but the Big Twelve Quarterbacks being superior to the rest of the Quarterbacks in college football is an example of a paradigm that can change. We are in a day of shifting paradigms...we must be able to spot the things that are constant or unchangeable and those that we must be flexible on ....what do you think?

Becoming a life long learner


Through this blog ideas and information will be given that might be helpful for handling the many new paradigms that each of us are faced with daily...

An old saying is ,"...knowledge is power!" How does one obtain that knowledge? This knowledge is not obtained through a diploma or degree. It is not obtained at a final time and place. Knowledge itself has a new paradigm that many have not absorbed as part of their life's mission and purpose. Knowledge now has changed from a high school diploma, advanced degree or technical degree. The theory that "knowlege is power" is true only if one is a "life long learner." What is a life long learner? It is setting about to live life with the strategy of learning a little every day, every week and every month of life striving to never rely solely on what one has learned in the past. This comes with the understanding that knowledge is never stagnant and therefore one can not stand still with this abstract concept of knowledge or he or she will be left behind as the world continues to progress and change.


Below is one example of an easy way to be a life long learner. You can click on the links below and sign up for a "Daily PowerWord". Unless one creates a process for gaining knowledge like one might for paying bills then a few months will go by before you realize you have not kept up with your goal to be a life long learner. I get no financial compensation for this recommendation....Think about if not this way,what will be your specific plan to be a life long learner?
