Excellent post. WE all need to remember the basics. And remember that the real tool is the brain! Have you considered the wonderful Moleskine journals — the great notebooks favored by Hemingway, Picasso and others? I carry one around everywhere to jot random thoughts, plan posts or just make notes. Little easier to carry than a yellow legal pad, but I have lots of those too.

Excellent post, and thanks again for the guest blog post over on my site – it’s much appreciated.

When it comes to surfing the internet on work hours – this happens everywhere. When I worked for the DoD, we had to monitor the networks constantly and block everything under the sun. Myspace got popular; block. Meebo got popular (and smart, www2 www3 www4), so we blocked it. Not to mention many more….it’s sad that people don’t just do their job and then cause problems, but such is life.

Jessica, a little book called “Possibility Thinking” I found in my parents’ closet as a teenager is the inspiration for this series. I read only about 2 pages and that was all I needed to understand what it was all about. This is my slant on it! Thank you for the encouraging comment.

Oh and just an fyi . . . I don’t comment as much on your blog because lately I am doing most my blog reading on my breaks at work and there is a firewall against blogger.com MORE reason you should tend to that WP blog of yours! Remember I am ALWAYS willing to help, though it may be in fits and starts with my schedule.

Thanks again for being a possibility thinker, you are truly one of the good brains out there!

This is a beautiful post, Damien. I, too, believe that almost anything is possible if you want it, put your mind to it and have a plan. I do believe that people can change themselves for the better, too, at any time!!

Great post!

important to not to overwhelm your brain. Science tells us that the mind cannot usually absorb more than three things at a time. So, if you are reading, take breaks and remember the tendency of the brain to retain 3 things in one sitting. Yellow pads are an excellent resource for this, as simple as that sounds. You’d do well to “space out” the time you have to study as well. The
