9 Important National Issues If I Someday Run for Politics

The long ascent. Each politician pushes their key policy issues to let others know what they want to accomplish. These policy issues relate to their needs as a politician and what they believe the country needs. This information allows the public to formulate an understand of the politician and determine if support is worthwhile.  Listeners scan your words looking for some ray of hope that you know best on how to help them rise through challenges.  If key beliefs resonate with Americans, they will support and advocate to others thereby increasing your base. I have contemplated many times starting to move toward engaging in politics in some say that contributes to the development of our great nation. As we face growing challenges, both at home and overseas, new ideas are needed to overcome new challenges. The same old way of doing things doesn't work any more (at least doesn't reach peak performance). Some have said a guy like me would never make it in politics. Today

When People Spread Malicious Rumors

Rumors are power for the people who use them. Sometimes rumors are innocent and are just information about some event or some person. At other times they can take more a malicious tone and be used to damage and hurt another person. If you are caught up in the "rumor mill" you may be wondering what some of the motivations are and why people use these methods. First, we should be honest about rumors and their purpose. Rumors do serve an important function for people. Rumors can be used to share information about potential threats, resources and problems. If someone is dangerous, a rumor can warn others that this person should be avoided at all costs. Secondly, rumors can be used to position and create alignment among groups. People send signals about who they support and who they don't through the use of rumors. We try and build our loyalties by who we praise and create boundaries of information to those we don't like. A problem does arise when we begin to use rum

Route 66-A time gone by!

Route 66 represents a time past. Started in the late 1920s it became an American Icon as a dangerous and fun road moving from east to west. People partied, were robbed, lost everything, made millions, and stopped at the local establishments. I made my way through a few of these old highways, the ones with all the stops. Some of it is run down but much is still worth seeing. There has been an effort to revitalize. Printed pictures can be purchased and profits go to orphanage. Most under $40 depending on size/quality.

Who are Considered Wise? Traits of People with Wisdom

The image of the wise eccentric old man and the matriarchal elderly woman have reappeared in our collective conscious since the beginning of civilized time. Wisdom is seen as the highest state of understanding the world around us and is a noble pursuit in and of itself. Some have spent an entire lifetime trying to gain knowledge and insight that leads to profound wisdom. Research on the development of wisdom leads to greater insight into the factors that are seen as "wise". Most of these evaluations are based on how someone thinks and acts. Thought processes often lead to actions. Wise people are insightful in a way that leads to alignment between strategy, thought processes, emotions and action. Wisdom works best when used in a broad context.  It is possible to have focused wisdom such as what might be found in a business manager that doesn't have life skills. In other words, the business manager can solve business problems with ease but have much more difficul

Taking Precautions When Hiking the Desert (Pictures)

Deserts hold a lot of rough and rugged terrain for outdoor enthusiasts. Deserts can also be dangerous places with rattle snakes, lack of water, miles of landscape, no cell phones, and no services. That doesn't mean they should be avoided but that one should take the extra precautions when walking around them. If you are not a seasoned hiker you might want to not go too far out of cell phone range. When you can call someone for help that is going to make a big difference. There are lots of semi-rural hiking trails that have at least a few visitors a day. Maybe you have seasoned hiking shoes and want to try something a little more isolated. In this case you will want to bring extra water, learn about survival in the desert and be sure to bring a small first aid kit. It is difficult to know when and how something will turn out. Finally, tell someone where you are going and when they should call authorities if they don't hear from you. Its important to build in enough time so

Climbing and Hiking Mountain Ranges-Showing Respect for Life Before Life

Climbing and hiking mountains is a passion for some. I'm not going to say mountain climbing a passion for me but I will say that the outdoors is something I love very much. The world is different in the countryside. Its slower, more real, and an honest reflection of life. Ok...maybe not an honest reflection of modern life but a reflection of life before the advent of modern times. Its one of those places where the air is fresh and crisp in the morning and leads to a rejuvenated feeling. For some, it is a place that has the greatest respect and value for life. When the birds are chirping and the critters are scampering we become again connected to our specie's past.  Not all people respect the outdoors. It isn't hard to see the beer cans, litter, and blight that encroaches on the forest everyday. Some of these actions are careless and foolish while others are more grounded in the need to create more financial value. We can see this in places where constant de

Poem: To a future land unknown

Walk into lands unknown, No digital paw prints stay. A trail to somewhere, Maybe out to no where. That's ok! It's where our continuum of time lay. A world removed, But often a few miles away. Patron of our land, Before it turns to sand.

Sailing into San Diego-Pictures of Boats

Spending time outdoors is probably my most important activity. It could be anything...hiking, biking, swimming, sailing, surfing, on and on and on.... When out on the ocean sailing you feel the cool breeze and you begin to experience a world that is very different than the one we know. People out there once traveled and engaged in commerce across the ocean. They made their living fishing and traveling. We now live in a data driven world so doing some of these activities will help us unwind. Printed pictures can be purchased and profits go to orphanage. Most under $40 depending on size/quality.

We often thing we need a $5K sculling boat. What we find is that something simple as a regular old dinghy can get you some great back and cardio exercise. You also get to take your camera and get some nice pictures while enjoying the outdoors.
