The Story of "That TV Show" we were on...

Ok, so all of our friends want to know the story of THAT TV SHOW, and what it was like to have Jerry Seinfeld ask me if I was gay on National TV- Here's the story:

Pretty Funny, and it'll be among the "Crazy Stories" of our life!

Magic of Thinking Big- 2

Yesterday I asked "Mr. Triumph" to help me through the day- what a great job he did! What was at first a crappy reading turned out to be an awesome acting adventure where I ended up performing on the Alvin Ailey Stage!
Today has to do with Conquering Fear:

What ACTION will you take today to conquer a fear? For me, it will be making some sales calls- I'll let you know how they go!

Magic of Thinking Big- 1

Today I am officially 38!
I am also kicking off this reading everyday blog, which will (hopefully) bring a lot of people some value, and enjoyment. I start with one of my all-time favorites,  the magic of thinking big by David Schwartz- Enjoy!



Today, I am going to remind myself to use "Mr. Triumph" in my situations. In fact, I am using him right now to change my attitude about something I'm doing today! What about you?

Bronx High School Reunion

I went to my 20-Year High School Reunion, and had a great time!
This is me with some of the girls, and then with one of my great friends Jesse, also known as the web-sensation "Jeskid":

Now, let me start by saying that we went to a "Specialized" high school- no, not for the slow, but for the "gifted" for math and science. So, we're all super-geniuses. That's first.

However, one of the things that struck me was how few of us were actually in the sciences now, and how many of us weren't necessarily working towards world-domination.

(At least, none of us SAID we were...)

However- and Laura had to point it out to me- almost everyone was a professional of one sort or another. There was definitely a sense of "future" for just about everyone there, and it was kinda assumed. A lot of people had seen me on "The Marriage Ref", and I got made fun of quite a bit for it, but it was all in fun. The reason I decided to share this with you is that these are the super-geniuses of the world, molded for math and science, and yet, so few of us were pursuing it- why do you think that is?

Fantastic Ad- What happens when you work too much...

This is a great ad for some kind of juice- it comes from either China or Thailand; there are a bunch of videos claiming it, and I frankly didn't want to do the research! Enjoy:

The surprising truth about what motivates us

While we wonder If we're working too hard, sometimes we oughtta look at WHY we're working...
I love this version of the talk, but you can also find a similar one on TED.COM:

Workaholics Anonymous

I think this is a great and creative video, and was thinking about using it as a recruitment video.
There are so many people out there who really do work too damn hard, and they don't even see it.
Kudos to the people who filmed this!
