Simon Sinek: How great leaders inspire action

They inspire people by knowing why, knowing their purpose.

Simon Sinek has a simple but powerful model for inspirational leadership all starting with a golden circle and the question "Why?" His examples include Apple, Martin Luther King, and the Wright brothers -- and as a counterpoint Tivo, which (until a recent court victory that tripled its stock price) appeared to be struggling.

Thanks Buffy, I had forgotten.

Also, been noting your comments on challenge the network. There is a major issue which has not been addressed on the game at all, but literally effects every life on the planet: the toxic stew which is majorly exacerbated by the 100,000 +/- man-made chemicals on our planet. This includes toxins which heretofore have been viewed as inert, like plastics which are ever present in modern life. The problem is very insidious and almost hidden as it does not necessarily show up as cancers or diseases but affects our endocrine systems and ultimately our fertility, with the most notably deleterious effects showing up in our children or lack thereof. This issue has been studied for over 50 years and was mentioned in Rachel Carlson's Silent Spring although we seemingly got caught up in the cancer paradigm and have ignored the larger much more societally and planetary relevant issue of toxins that mimic estrogen or that block the chemical messages of our DNA. Panamericana had put me onto this is the doc**entary: The Disappearing Male, and I have since investigated the information as reported in 1996 in the book Our Stolen Future by Colborn, Dumanoski and Myers.

Please see that this topic is highlighted in an continuation of the Evoke game. It may literally be the most important topic we must confront. Such an acknowledgement of how extremely out-of-balance our world is, can help us all realistically a****s and work toward true holistic means to rebalance our selves and our world. After having studied ancient traditions such as Traditional Chinese Medicine and et. al., I realized that our world through history has been build from an extreme yang perspective. Chemicals (and drugs, alcohol) represent an extreme yin condition. The yin/yang symbol, of which we all are aware, shows how energy is always in balance, so we can see the dangers in living in the extremes as we all have; we are literally poisoning ourselves to death. It's time to reestablish a balance and Evoke can certainly play a role in getting this information our to the world. Thank you.

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Stinging Nettle

In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

public servants

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
