The End of experts

Due to the Era of the Geeks in the Information-Age there has been a major backdrop of compensations that does not suffice the work of our professionals.  In this Era apparently Geeks have done nothing but allowing us to have better and better tools to play with or do our jobs faster and faster.  We have connected to millions and millions of people and have accessed tremendous amounts of information that many of them may be Viruses and unreliable material from unreliable sources.  We now have easier time to disregard faster than taking our time to see what information may result in benefitting us.  Apparently material and information that gets to us more readily, and in a nicer package may get more credit.  

During the time that people once gave their doctor a chance to get them through the disease by different remedies and medications are now less tolerated.  Requests of patients now is: "fix it now or I'll just go where another doctor can do it for me."  Doctors or in Business, Consultants are willing to do what ever it takes to satisfy their customers, by giving-in to their clients what they want ASAP; before they transfer to another professional.   A plastic surgery will do; a tommy-tuck, to flatten your stomach than sit-ups; a face-lift than therapy of different kinds; a Prozac than psychotherapy; divorce or a break up rather than working out our problems and differences; get them Fired and/or get some younger employees in, rather than dealing with the issues  at work.  

The Economy of today has taken a major shift from "Dealing with our Issues" to "just print more, or delete them."  Hardwares are constantly being disposed for new ones; Softwares are constantly being updated for a newer versions, and our batteries are working longer than ever, but among all this the quality of our lives have been devalued more & more.  Some statistics have even shown the rate of suicides have gone up as well, that may indicate people may not be tolerant as much to give future and Faith a chance for Improving their lives, in the near future.  

Geeks may be good at the Rational-Mind to give us the tools and "connect the dots," and speed-up our tasks at hand with our computer systems, but they have been lacking any enhancement in our Emotional-Intelligence that Empathizes with the Quality of our lives.  If you ask many people these days you may find out that many people may agree in different age-brackets, that we may have gone down with our Moral & Ethical values across the globe.  And if we want to Improve the Quality of our lives (Emotional-Intelligence), In-Balance with our Innovative minds (Rational-Mind), that has been going Forward beyond our expectations in our fast-pace society, we must Take-our-Time to be Able to Feel the difference.  

Our experts have been falling into the trap of keeping up with the Geeks in order to have their time worth for the money they charge for their services.  People have been demanding the experts for faster & faster results or else.  And our Global-Economy have been showing fake-results due to our fast-pace expectations across the board.  The lack of True-Leadership at the Present time in our Global-Society makes it necessary for each of us Individually to get off this SPEED addiction.  In order to maintain a Balanced-Quality of Life, each one of us must take an Individual-Responsibility to maintain a Balanced-Diet that Includes a Nutritional-diet along with Education and Training that will Enhance our Judgement and Empathy towards Others.

Are we a part of one-another's dreams?!

Have you ever wondered if maybe we all are living a dream....... Maybe we are participating in one-another's dreams.... Or maybe we are completing the dream we all have together, in the life that we are living…....

This notion of life being just a dream goes a little farther than where you are or have been doing physically or intellectually....... This is the the realm of Emotional world..... The World that is beyond the Imagination....... Beyond all that you did, and thought of, all that you where informed and trained and told about........ The question always have been whether each one of us wants to know who we are and what we are, or Capable of.......

In our Industrial Age we worked hard and sweat for what we want to achieve, putting things together brick by brick and step by step........ Going through the things to get what we want by hard work, Horizontally, standing in line and not complaining whether there is another way to do things or not........ Then in the Information Age there were some Clever youngsters who came along with their ideas and technologies, that blew all of us away, cutting in lines and doing shortcuts with computers and informations that could Travel all over the world with a click of a bottom, making the buck, within seconds....... This was more like a Vertical interjection that went thorough, like a knife, right through our hearts...... This was a revolutionary thing that Enabled many young boys to get rich in seconds than the hard work of many for hours.......

Now all we talk about is Energy, saving energy and producing energy almost with nothing. Scientists are now working on finding ways to put our Natural-Resources that are all around us, to Use...... But are they going to Find a practical way of putting Air and the Sun's POWER into commercial use? Remember that in our Information Age there were a bunch of youngsters who shortcut into a technology that blew us away, passing our timely conventional-sciences! We are now witnessing that Private companies are sending Shuttles into space.

The Energy age is about our Intent now...... How we Will things...... How our Will could click the icons on our computers and fly our plains...... And that's exactly what scientists are working on..... Studying the Energy and its Qualities that could be broken and Reassembled....... This technology could Help us for Teleporting things beyond ideas of seconds....... These Ideas are legitimately being worked out, until some Bozo(s) shows up, working not even in their "garage", due capability of Mobility work these days, and show that He already can do such a thing and could make it available for Commercial use! But this time, it will be also Beyond our conventional ways of being able to "patenting" It!

Humanity has gone beyond testing his physical abilities and strength, advancing to using His Mind and Intellect........ Now it's time to use our Abilities Beyond any technologies we ever thought of. If there would be any Intelligence coming to our planet Earth, due to the continues invitations of our scientists, sending communicational Messages across the UNIVERSE, may not apply! If any Intelligent creature ever had to show up in our Planet may not even need a flying-object. They may just be advanced Enough to Traveling in Mind or Teleporting, as an Example. We must go beyond our "short-cuts" or "making-bridges" Thinking-habits now, and Be who we ARE..... This Could be the Idea of Zig-Zag Phenomenon. In this Era of 21-Century, it is the Moment of Mind -Breaking Notion, that our Intent and Purpose Could be the KEY, our DESTINY.

Is our Comprehension more important or understanding?!

From the time we are children we are taught how important it is to understand things; how to calculate and count; to answer back with the right answer(s)..... And we are taught how to do things right, and should strive to doing them better and better..... We even now, at the place of employment may keep getting training after training to do things "right", based on new policies or orders in place. We are given the idea(s) that what the employers are teaching or training us to do, is the only way, and should be complied with as they are tought, with no arguments or questions.

These kinds ideas have been working in the Industrial Age of "assembly-lines" and doing things the SAME for the sake of the policies of the products in place. Unfortunately, the same ideas cannot be applied to Human beings, unless we have the Assembly of products like made-up humans in mind. When individuals get trained that way, in such "boxy" or assembly-line kind of mentality, in their Lives, day in and day out, whether in their personal relationships; professionally; and in the political arena or society, then we could be heading towards having a hard-headed or society that is likely to be stupid. And as the saying goes, "stupid is what stupid does"! Along the lines are people who are untrainable and unconformists, who not only won't do what are told to do, but no matter how better you give them the answer or help, they may just say and have the attitude of, "whatever". These people not only reject any ideas or methods or techniques that you might offer them, but they do not have any ideas of their own to offer either.

Unfortunately, the problem that we are facing in our society at this time is that we have the lack of collaboration. And that means our society is "bill-pay" bound. People almost cannot afford thinking outside the box because it can "cost" them. People may do whatever they are told or asked to do, to make the money to pay & meet their bills and strive to make some more to live the pretended luxury life. However, ones who are the Intelligent not only keep the integrity of their ideas, but also strive to protect them, by patenting; copywriting, and other legal means. It is important to point out that the ones who may not afford paying for such legal means of protecting their ideas, may at some point loose the Rights to their ideas, or their ideas may be copied to the point that they may not be able to do any thing about them.

But the point of the matter is that if we want to have a more productive society in the 21st Century, we must strive to change our mentality from assembly to Innovative thinking. One thing that we must consider in this Information Age is that Ideas are going forward much faster than, by the time they get through the slow process of patenting & copywriting, they may get most likely out dated. The reason for that is, at this time, in our Global-Economy, all things almost happening or being communicated "all-at-once" or at a very fast pace. Understanding may have helped us in the Industrial Age, but the Information Age of technology has created a Bridge to the next step, that comes the Age of Utilizing Energy. And that is, Every thing Is ENERGY.

Comprehension is the most important point at this time, in the 21st Century, and that is due to the Deeper-Level that goes beyond what we may be "understanding" on the surface. For example, by Exploring the nature of Quantum-Mechanics we are now gotten into the arena that has been the Closest way of looking at the NATURE of things. And if we do not Apply the Concepts and Ideas that we are LEARNING into our every day "mundane" world that we have created, we will perish.

What kinds of things are we willing to do to be without pain?!

Many times people may do things other than what they are suppose to do because of wanting or expecting to have pleasure, instead of pain. At one time I was hearing the radio-announcer saying that ironically, we start our life with having pain, as if it is almost impossible for us to ever escape pain. Every one can remember growing up, at every stage we have had pain: being born; trying to crawl, and walk while falling down so many times; growing teeth; emotional pain of going to school; starting a new job and working on our careers to keep advancing.....

As children, we wanted to play more than doing our homework; wanted to sleep more than being on time. And as adults we rather take vacations than spending more time on our projects, or watch tv rather than reading something valuable. People also many times rather take all kinds of drugs than putting up with any kind of pains even if they are mild. Taking care of Migraines may be understandable, but a mild headache could be sometimes tolerated.

Bad habits and recreational drugs also have a big market for people who do not want to feel any kind of pain, such as not wanting to be shy or worried or even bored. The addiction to prescribed or recreational drugs also are the most devastating thing that could happen to people's lives. Many people due to these various addictions have lost a chunk of their productive youth and lives. It is almost very difficult not to have "any" kind of habits, and not to develop some sort of addiction to something. Psychologists and experts may advise that it is better for us to have healthier habits and persevere in things that can make a difference in our lives in a Healthier way.....

Bad relationships, whether personal or professional can also be a bad habit or addiction to not live for a Better life. Many people may stay in an abusive relationship for an excuse that they Need the person; money; job; or it's fun........than taking the pain of "risk", moving Forward, Finding a Better LIFE. For example, a good friend or a coach could be a Support to us and Encourage us, when we are going through a tough period in our lives, but a "bad" friend, acquaintance or a colleague can be a distraction, giving us a wrong message at the wrong "time." Many lives have been self-sabotaged and destroyed by the criticisms of a so called "friend(s)" or a wrong timing of having "fun", when we needed to focus more closely than ever, on our given problem or situation to Win.

It is important to go through the pain and Persevere for the things that are really important in our lives. A little productive Planning can go along way as well, keeping us on the Right track. If we waste our time on the "small-stuff" for not feeling the pain earlier in our lives, then we may have to face the serious things later in life, when our tolerance are even lower for the retarded pain. Adopting good habits and a healthy-lifestyle can be a Preventative way of keeping us consistently focused on our Journey to Success. And not forgetting to have the Right team in place and choosing to be in the Right Environment will be Ideal for us to Thrive, as well as, on the aright Direction..... .

Are we watching or doing?!

Since we are born we all learn to Imitate something.......
We smile back; would cry if someone around us does; watch others walk, and we try to walk or dance like them; we play with others and want to be as good as some of the players..... As we grow up we get most of our ideas by the people around us. We go to school and regurgitate a lot of information that others before and after and during our lives are finding, and we use these ideas at our work and careers and relationships....

We watch a lot of movies and commercials, showing us various tools and behaviors that can benefit our lives by using them. We have friends and families an colleagues that constantly influencing us. Leaders and presidents and people in power who show us with their positions, postures and behaviors, words what it is "like" to be in power. These people with being who they are and what they do, not only influence us, striving to be like them, "successful," but they influence our next generation as well......... In our society many times the similarities that keeps on happening from one generation to the next, can Shape the Behavior of our children for What they ARE.....

Our Feelings are affected by all the things we watch & hear (and all of our senses in different ways being involved) that can Wire and Rewire our brains..... We simply Do What we ARE.

if we want to make a Difference in our lives and lives of others, we must keep the balance between what we Watch, with what we do. We not only must strive to Keep ourselves Exposed to a better and better Sources of Influence, but making sure our ENVIRONMENT is Sufficient as well to helping us Flourish, with better Behaviors that we would be IMITATING. For example, if you are in a hospital, working there for long hours or visits, you may want to balance it with going to the Gym or Spa for some time of the day, to be in a Healthy environment. Or if you are in the position of leadership and giving out orders or you are a source of influence, it's good to balance it out with putting yourself in a place of being Influenced by the most Up-to-Date informative people or team, and material that'll Reshape your Mind & Body in a Better way......

We all consciously or unconsciously are Imitators and we Can become Better persons by putting ourselves in a Position to be Influenced by The Right Sources of Influence. Just remember the times you were watching a movie or reading a "good" book, at some point either they Inspired you, or made you laugh or cry. The same-things may go for how people around you may have said something or their Behavior or gesture made you Feel a certain way....

Not only we should be influenced by the Right things, and sources of Influence to Imitate, but we should strive to be a Better sources of Influence for others to Imitate as well. A HEALTHY society Is nothing but an ENVIRONMENT of Healthy people who are continuing to Influencing Each-Other, COLLABORATING in a Positive way.......

Could lack of love be costly?!

Since we are born depending on our luck we may have received all the love we need Growing up. For example, any fruits and vegetables that are planted, Need the Proper care with a good soil, water and Sunshine; and as they Grow, the Care continues with they pest-control, to stay Healthy and Enjoyed by us When consumed. And we as Humans, not only need all the important care with proper Nutrition, Diet and Exercise of our mothers when Pregnant, but continual and consistent Love and Protection of our mothers, and adults around us growing up. By the time we are Adults, due to our Proper care & growth, NATURALLY, we will be adults Shining through with Love & healthy Attitudes that not only Shows, But Available for others to Enjoy and "Consume", by the Relationships they have with us.

In this Process, other Healthy adults who have had such HEALTHY Love & Care when growing up, will only Share who they ARE, In the Healthy-Relationships, when they come in contact with each-other. These Relationships could be in the Form of Friendships, Business relations, Romantic; etc. These Interactive processes could have a Multiple effect for having a Healthy-Society......

However, when we don't have such Healthy scenario growing up, then the problem arises Beginning with ourselves, in Relationships with others; whether Business, Friendship and Romantic as an Adult. Due to the Lack of Proper love and care we may have an unconscious Hunger for constantly Looking for Others who would give us "some" Emotional fulfillment. What we did not get with the Proper love & care growing up, now as an adult come through as some sort of Emotional hunger. This could be as bad as an example of a bucket with a whole, at its bottom, that no matter how much water you put in it, won't be enough to fill it up, due to the hole it has.

Unfortunately, if that is our problem, we not only would come in contact with the wrong people who will take advantage of us, with a little "pretended" love; but as soon as they get what they want, they will leave us COLD. These kind of Dysfunctional-Relationships will have a MULTIPLYING effect by creating other unneeded relationships. It will Drive us to go Towards and make us Volunteers, to Join, & Be in ENVIRONMENTS that are "created and Exists" with Such Addicted-Relations....... In such Relationships and Places, no matter how-much you get, and how-much you-give its Never enough........ It does not matter, whether its food; money; sex; work; etc......

These issues are beyond the Scope of this Blog, but it is Worth the Mention to guide us to Do something about them. That's what it takes not only for us to be a Better person, but to Help Others as well, by our Recovery process...... First, we can immediately make a point to Read and Educate ourselves about these Issues. Second, we can get ourselves checked-out by a Medical doctor to Ensure our Physical status; and then consider a Therapy consultation with a Therapist who could work with us to Heal our Emotional wounds. Third, we could have a Life-Coach & a Business consultant in place, to be as a Mentor or Guide in our TEAM, as we go Forward to having a Better Relationships in our LIVES.......

Remember, Living in a Healthy-Society, Starts with US. We must Build Our Better-Way, and a Place of BEING, One-Brick at a time and by What WE Have to Offer...... Individually, and by Better-Relationships that we Build with One-Another, we will HAVE a SOCIETY that'll ORCHESTRATE as we Want, in the PROCESS.......

How far are we willing to go to Win?!

In our traditional stance, we use to think that all we had to do was to be consistent, and continue on our path, no matter how long it would take to reach success. Perseverance was the big word and sometimes it is still being used by the professionals. However, if you get a chance to speak to any Scientists who may be working in the fields of physics, Astro-physics, computer-programing and Engineering they may look at you, as you are somewhat "out-dated." With Creativities and Innovative ideas, the tools like Computers and Internet have helped us Leaping-Forth with "shortcuts" we are now allowed to make.

Leadership coaches and consultants have been revising their Vocabularies from Persistence to Leverage. And from being Heroes, to being Collaboratives & Team-Players. Shortcuts that use to be pointed-out as "cheating" are now being admired by calling them, Time & Energy saving SMART Ideas of Need. It will actually cost people more not to take advantage of the Tools, Techniques and Ideas at hand, to save money and time. With such Leverages available, we are able to save Lives as well, due to our Technological advances we have made that can detect many illnesses much more promptly.

Winning in Business, and Sports is a matter of SPEED and people who want to save time & money are willing to: Update their computers and Softwares; Learn New Techniques & Ideas to Improve their PERFORMANCE, Whether at work or business, sports and competitions; Doctors and Lawyers and Business-Consultants around the World spend Millions of dollars to get the most Updated Trainings and Techniques that would make their work more Efficient, and to get the RESULTS faster whenever possible.

Winning is not only about speed, but also Making-Leaps. Innovative-Techniques & keeping Up-to-Date with All and Every-One of what would apply, to make our Progress more Efficient. Sometimes a certain Word; our Timing; and the Way we may Do our task could make a whole lot of Difference. Our Creative-Ideas and Innovative-Technologies has made it Possible for us to do Multitasking as well as being able to get more work on our "plate", while offering more & faster services to others Simultaneously. For example, by "voice-activation" and "Bluetooth" on our devices we can drive and talk and answer our phones at the same time, taking advantage of our time in traffic when driving our cars.

So these days we do not have to go too far to get to our destinations and completions, but have to make sure we are "Up-to-Date." We should be Open-Minded for not getting installed by using our good-old techniques and remaining in our comfort-zone until is too late. It always takes more time to keep on trying to fix old technologies and ideas, rather than just changing them to New ones to make the Leap-Forward more Efficiently, and Immediately. It takes Courage now, to spend a little more Time & Money, Smartly, then working more Wisely and Efficiently for the rest of our steps Forward. Every-Step NOW is about Efficiency and how we Do things a Better way. These Improvements not only will make the Quality of our Services Better and Faster, but also will reduce our stresses and make us Happy-Winners as well.........

Is it good to be normal…?!

From the time in our childhood most of our parents kept on trying to teach us to be proper and good; what to say and don't to say....... Later on we were sent to school and were taught that we must follow the rules and continue to be proper and respectful...... We were then given a chance to go to college or get a job...... Hardly people in general have been encouraged to be Different or being Entrepreneurs while growing up.

In our economy now, more than ever, being different is being encouraged. Schools now, have started to have slogans up on their walls, promoting the messages that being different is a good thing.... It is almost questionable now, whether being an A student is a good thing, or better to be an Average student but productive in our Economy, and different. Children and adults have witnessed how technology savvy and creative individuals as students, have been dropping out of college and pursuing their Dreams with higher return of profits. By seeing such Examples, people have realized how in general, being "normal" and following the norm, in our Economy seems to be not such good thing now. The job market for the "good" employees and the jobbers, are not at all such a dependable way to Be or trying to continue to earning a Living......

Being "normal" at this time in our Global-World and MARKET, almost at times is being ridiculed, due to our Fast-past change that continually is HAPPENING at the Global-Scale.......... Now the Normal IS to be Different, otherwise you setting yourself up to be inapplicable and irrelevant! It Seems that it is safer to be Wrong and Different in this PROCESS, than to be compliant and "normal", that will almost Garantee your stagnation and failure.

These issues concerning keeping up with the change, has also created some arguments among the conservatives and traditionalists, who advocate Integrity and strong Character. Due to this issues many of our youth may get mixed messages concerning whether to be "consistent and good", than being "undependable and inconsistent" in the process of what is going on?! The Answer to these problems may lie in the Trainings of our Youth of LEADERSHIP that is becoming more and more important than Ever before, in our Global-World.

Leadership is about keeping our Integrity and not be ashamed of what our ideas and Purposes are. Leadership demands us to use different methods, Ideas and Avenues to continue with our Mission in life that we have Decided. Not to let the Road of Failure to stop us, but to use the failures as stepping-stones that are Aimed at our DESTINY of PURPOSE. Leadership cannot be only "thought", but needs to be Experienced; and cannot be only described, but Dreamed...... Leadership is a Process of Self-Discovery and Every time you come to describe or experience It, you may See it DIFFERENT than you expected it before.......... So we should Teach and be an Example to our Youth and Each-Other about Courage, because Leadership is a Moment by Moment Self-Discovery as we go Forward in our MISSION......

So it is Normal for a Person who takes the Leadership stance in his/her LIFE, which includes being Normally-Different....... Especially in this Global-Economy, it is of the Essence to follow such a Path for Oneself; however, since Leadership cannot be necessarily taught, one may Need a Mentor to Assist with the Ideas in the PROCESS.

It is important to mention that it is not Wise to take "normalcy" lightly at this point and time in our History.......because no matter what anyone and/or experts may say, it could be a sure way to our own self-sabotage, Lives & Dreams. I can only leave us with the Suggestion that picking Our-Mentors with Care, in our Road to SELF Development & Discovery...........
