Ken Roberts is a Counter Intuitive Marketer. Notice his disclaimer: YOU CAN LOSE A LOT OF MONEY. But if you want to do commodity trading you will completely ignore the rather lengthy disclaimer. And I am what is called a “lay down” sale. Told you this blog was painful.
Now, in Canada the roads are not paved in gold (as my Chinese friends were told before they emigrated here). In fact it may only be paved in gold by the new immigrants that have so much drive.
The people born here, even the so-called ‘poor’ among us are doing fine. We don’t realize it, of course, even when we’re told. I could have been rich many times over by now if not for my middle-class upbringing.
It’s not that my parents did something wrong, it’s just that as soon as we’re doing well, collectively, we become high-minded. Sad, but true. I have so much stuff, and even collect more and buy more. Sure, I help others…and maybe that’s what it’s all about.
An apple tree grows in South Western Ontario. Many fruit trees grow, and vines…it’s a land of milk and honey to be sure. I’m grateful, and I just want to say: Wow. This particular little piece of land is tended by God: the sun shines, the rain falls, the wheat (& everything else) grows.
I’m grateful.
Did you ever notice that there’s way too much, when it comes to God?
Musketeer Marketer, like the fourth Musketeer: D’Artanyan was fiercely proud of his heritage, ready to defend the honour of his father’s name, and duty-bound to the king.
Are we not all standing for something?
Thinking a little on the brow-beating marketing style, which apparently works. But each and every conquest has a cost.
However love is something else again.
The high road: transparency, relevance, modeling.
Character is what we take from our father, and if our earthly father failed us, no worries…once through the door we take up the character of our Father on high.
A more excellent way.
So business and marketing doesn’t have to be without honour, nor without a bit of wit. And should the witless show up then a bit of sport before a touché.
Take time to uncover your passion, and even kiss hands of fair ones.
Remember: the King is watching and his eyes see. A wiser, more generous Father I have never met.
This year choose a coach wisely, that is my advice to myself.
Everywhere I go I always come on the scene just before there’s a big revolution.
Okay, so today someone at work was axed.Not me. Well maybe it will be me
Thought it might be me.
So, the VIPs came to access everything yesterday…and I always think everybody’s better than I am. That’s not some kind of false modesty.
I’m not English…but my grandparents were. Never even made it across the ocean. Here I am in the middle of hundreds of waterfalls…btw I flipped out when I saw Niagara Falls some weeks ago. I should be jaded by now, but I’ve been “living in a cave” so everything is brand new.
The weird thing about me is that I always come full circle about difficult people. Eventually you find out something that makes you deeply compassionate.
“Love all, trust a few” sums it up for me and Shakespeare.
This company is doing a great Twitter campaign (funny, about Dorlan at the Beach)…I love yummy advertising. And this video is good…educational. Goes well with salmon eggs, caviar, goat’s cheese, chocolate, walnuts.
All about the basics…
