This Wreck Is Preventable - Iran and You - Do Something!

The Big Story You Dare Not Ignore!
This is a fantasy about Iran.  Suppose a juvenile delinquent threatened your life said they were going to "burn you out," held up a book of matches, and headed up the street toward the gas station.  Would you wait until they came back with a gas can full, before you got active about their threat?  I'd make two phone calls, police first, the threat appears to be real, and the gas station second, hoping I could talk a person who sells stuff, out of making a buck when the threat is obvious!  Heck - I'd even offer to pay them the difference if they'd hold off selling the juvenile delinquent any gas for a while, sometimes paying a sort of blackmail money can prevent one disaster at a time, can't it?  Meanwhile I'd be all over the situation until I found a way to get it resolved.  What I wouldn't do is say "to heck with them, they aren't gonna do anything," go inside and go to bed, go back to sleep, "well why not," you ask, "they probably aren't going to do what they threatened to," well maybe you are right, but what if you are wrong?  Want to wait until you wake up to flames before you do anything?  Iran isn't a nation we ought to fantasize about, they celebrated "Nuclear Day," their President, isn't going to let the issue that he claims his proactive warrior like statements are about; go away. 

  "Well that's just fine Dana, you've got me all alarmed; now what do you think I should do?"  Let's start with a call to your leader, if you live in the U.S., let's wake up your Congress - here are the contact numbers for all the Congress - SO - now you can't say you didn't have a number to call! 

Lets say you think that you'd rather call your leaders -and if you are in the world or global mode - here are contact numbers to U.N. representatives world wide.  So now no matter where you reside you can't say, "well I didn't have a number to call anyone."

Why call, it's faster, and this isn't a situation which requires slow action, this is a situation which merits your attention full time, full alert, until that call is made- you won't get off the hook, no matter what part of the world you live in.  Once you call, then you really ought to follow that up with a written request that they; your leader, take immediate and focused action to control Iran's behavior- by whatever means is necessary- including sanctions against economic means which will hurt until they back off this proactive nuclear stance. 

Now Iran isn't the only threat, they aren't, possibly, even the most likely threat to bring the world to the brink of nuclear holocaust- let's consider that there is considerable information out that North Korea is every bit the threat that Iran portends to be.  My suggestion is that you take the same action described with regards to Iran, with regard to North Korea.  "Well I would, but it won't matter."  Here is a simple truth, if you do, it will.

Who's afraid of the big bad...

Usually that song is finished with "wolf," right?  Only this time, lets finish it with a truth that is so frightening that most people reject it out of hand.  Which means, they throw up their hands with a "what can I do," reaction which then allows them to say, "well, nothing is going to get done anyway, with or without me."  This is uncaring on a scale that is frighteningly real beyond anyones ability to rate such.  We know why we are scared stiff by nuclear war- it is the single most frightening thing which might actuall, REALLY, happen!  That we are closer today than at any time in world history to such a holocaust, is a CALL FOR ACTION by every individual.  Get on the phone, get on TWITTER, get in touch with any politician any person of power that you know, and let them know, there is no such thing as a safe nuclear bomb-  Queen Noor of Jordan, as well as,  Valerie Plame Wilson (former CIA covert agent against the spread of nuclear weapons) speaking to the Signing of the Strategic Arms Reduction Act, clearly says "there is no other way to handle this than to go to zero nuclear weapons in the world."  Wouildn't you agree it's time to end the insanity - take a stand and make this world safe?

Sexting and Game Theory - Oh oh...will this work?


    Is sexting a risk?  According to at least one source, ABC News, it's like passing notes used to be, but with a lot more intense involvment, click here.  Sexting, at another source, is apparently, a crime- click here.  This isn't yet a private study, but it may become one, so we are asking some questions about sexting, wanna help?  Have some questions you'd just love to have asked, but maybe, you are a bit leary about asking them?  Read on, you will see how this is going to be looked into.
 
    Game theory isn't about games at all, it is about chance, when will you take a chance, and what will prompt you to do that- what are you willing to risk, and what cost do you assign to that risk, that's game theory.  We used to play a contest in sociology called "break out," and what it involved was a boy or girl from a broken home, meaning, one that doesn't work, where mom and dad don't believe in love, anymore, if they ever did, and where the parent may not even be present- they may be working, or, in some other way removed, as in, through the bliss of the bottle or the snort, or the shot- because many times; as shocking as that is to many people who like to pretend they are beyond it, such situations actually do happen.  Oh the anger is deep out there in over half the marriages in so called Christian homes, mom or dad is gone- now while you're asking yourself, "why," refocus on the opening statement, game theory- it's about risk, what are you willing to put at risk, it's about motive, why are you willing to risk it?

    Time to get down to it, because here is the interesting truth behind sexual conduct, it's always been a risk- becuase men and women are different, and the species, humanity, is the hold card- the bluff, well; it's out there, and in our U.S. culture, it's pretty warped, world wide, sexual conduct and mores (pronouned MoreRays, meaning: 
(Wikipedia's version click here)  (For what appears to be a European slant, click here)) have begun the process of becoming estranged from their cultural docks, and the ship of conduct has set sail- only in our world that sail is becoming a sale.  What does it take to win?  Who wins and what do they win?  Hugh Hefner has an empire designed upon the principle that we will look at what we believe is a secret that we are looking- and a shame of sorts if we are caught- but the conduct of beholding a magazine "bunny," (why what could be more likeable than a cuddly little "bunny?") is acceptable risk for a mild form of voyeuristic indulgence that Hugh established and made an empire of.  So that voyeuristic nuance, the subtle taking a second look that Bill Cosby made fun of in defining lust, all of a sudden springs up in the midst of articles, and advertising, which, because the magazine empire became so enormous, was very fruitful advertising indeed.  Money thus became a factor in the indulgence, and the winners were- and the risk was- and the risk, is?  To Hugh Hefner and the empire which came about, one would have to ask at what point it proves something?

    Sexting is but the newest form of a game that has been going on for centuries, sometimes played with subtle moves, sometimes discreet, sometimes, not; depending upon the level of expertise in the player; but the game is sexual in nature and it boils down to man and woman and- wanting - because it is the wanting that is the prompter.  It is as old as the story of a garden where God said, "you shall not eat of that fruit- it is the knowledge of good and evil,"  at which point, the participants in the game (indulge me on that one) were not capable of evil- they only knew good- enter- wanting.  According to the story a third party which the ancient Hebrews called na'khash' (translated as Serpent) then approached the woman and tested whether she was logical, and she was, she was asked if God had said she'd die when she ate the fruit, her response was to try and remember exactly what it was that God said; which is when she became the serpents messenger, at that point, the game was on, in full swing, had she said "it doesn't matter," who knows what the serpent would have come up with; you can count on one thing, he likely wouldn't have stopped.  Back to the story- we all believe we get it, but the truth is, stuff was going on that scientists today are just beginning to get a grasp of, genetics were being messed with.  So at the conclusion of this tale, the man joins with her, which is his problem, he didn't have to, but actually it's my opinion, if you dig down deep enough, it was actually not an ignoble act at all, which man, when he really loves a woman would let her stand alone in an assault?  So from this experience, we get the first, perhaps, socially recounted tale of "want."  The want was not inside the person, it was brought to them from a source, and my friend, that is the way it is today.  Fast forward to boys and girls, because it isn't usually adults, to some extent, at this present time, who are playing with sexting, it is boys and girls, usually, high school age, which means they don't believe they are boys and girls, they believe that they understand the consequences of what they are doing, and that foolish adults just "don't get it."  All teenaged rebels express that very same thought, but these choose to assign to it, a permanent potential for harm to their future, sexting isn't a temporary picture that is to entire, it can become, a public display for all to see.  Most who sextext don't really get that, but, again, what is the question when it comes to want?  The question is, risk, is it worth the risk? 

    So like any person who doesn't really understand a trend that is so different to my generational nuance, my tendency is to question it; and to reject it, and to wonder if it is possible to bring into the mix science which  addresses not the moral aspect, but the actual real risk factor?  My questions are going to be myriad, and if you would like to contribute to the question base, we would love your input, please comment in questions that you think should be asked, please make your comments PG rated (however) in the forum, now, if you have a question about "scrumping," which can only be asked using the "f" word then go ahead and email me your question, we're not here to judge, rather we are seeking to try and fathom behavior of going against established authority, that is different than risky behavior like smoking, and drinking; both of which we believe can also be addressed by game theory.  We look forward to any questions you believe we should be asking that we aren't.

That Wasn't What I Was Thinking

Well...So Now What?
Wow - sometimes things don't go like you think they will. Take for example a very simple request, take all of, oh I don't know, ten seconds to take care of, would prevent a lot of hassle to you personally. So they say, "nah, can't do it, sorry..." We're talkin' very easy to do texting on a cell phone that they do many, many times a day- but when you ask for just one specific notice, nope, it ain' gonna happen. Now the question comes in, do you assign any weight to that action, in terms of evaluating what you mean to that person? Well gosh, wouldn't you have to wonder if they cared much at all about your concerns? So it is with things that sometimes don't go the way you think that they are going to. The question is, what do you do when that happens?
Then You Have To Decide
One of the great sales leaders, and a great Christian man as well, Zig Ziglar, emphasizes how important relationships are. One of the most brilliant responses that I've seen lately on relationships is, don't let someone become a necessity to you when you're just an option to them. Thought that was good advice, what about you?
Question Is What To Do?
Shortly after creation, the evil one thought he'd really done something spectacular - here he had boxed them in, and he had them believing that God wasn't on their side. God got that straightened out, and so, the evil one decided he
needed another shot at it, God being supremely confident as He has the right to be, told the evil one to give it his best shot. So the evil one began to think on it. Centuries past, and centuries are a long time, finally he came up with it - he said to God - "I ruined beauty with Eve - so there is no more beauty in women on earth." To which
God just laughed, and laughed and laughed...because-
He knew - you.

Never Forgets

Last night, very late, Dr. Wayne Dyer, a man I respect and follow as a teacher, as a guru, if you will, was on PBS with a show from his latest series entitled, "Excuses Begone," lovely man, lovely teaching- grab hold of it- it will bless your life. Dr. Dyer is a never forget in my life; ask me about the first book I came to know from him, "Your Erroneous Zones," and I can tell you the gist of that book- why? Because we remember powerful influences. One more time, why do I remember that book, why will you remember them, as they occur,  
WE REMEMBER POWERFUL INFLUENCES, it is, no matter how you look at it, interesting that Dr. Dyer in this latest outing discussed powerful books which he has read, and powerful influences upon his life.  We remember powerful influences.  Influence- the ability to sway someone- the ability to affect a change of course in someones life- the ability to make someone pay attention to your ideas, and overcome their fraudulent and self defeating ideas.  Influence; and that influence always, watch this- always, has a cost!  One more time, influence, always has a cost.  No great leader, no great influence has ever happened without the cost associated with it being paid, to believe that you can influence others, without paying a price for doing so, is not a valid belief.  So the question then becomes, what is the price- and is that price going to be worth it to you to pay?  What's it worth to you to see one person who is an alcoholic to walk away from the booze?  What's it worth to you to see one person who has surrendered their soul to Meth, to come off it?  Dr. Dyer points out something interesting, we can, overestimate our ability to influence, and certainly that can be disastrous, but also, we can estimate correctly what the worth is.   What really does make me wonder about this great nation of America, is, are we becoming people who aren't willing to even consider the price?  Dr. Dyer considered the price, and owed up to it, and today influences many people to better their lives.  His life is a testament to the wealth and glory and wonder and awe and yes, love, which can result from such giving.  But not all of us are Dr. Dyer's are we?  Or, are we all, in some degree and fashion, just that powerful, only we want to choose to limit ourselves not to be?  Please don't fail to answer your heart on this one, and share away, that's what this blog is all about.

Chris Voss Best Over Best For You

What does the best of the best, actually mean? Ever wonder who is really the best when it comes to something as wild as the web and working on something like social media? There are so many who claim, from various ways and measures to be the best; they'll say that they make the most money- which is a hard measure to contest. Personally I love these guys because they put a copy of the check on the "invite" or as I call them "squeeze" page, where you scroll down and they show you how much they made?

For a long time I have to tell you, that impressed me, until I learned how to use Photoshop, and then it was not as impressive, unless I believed it to be real, then it was still pretty impressive. But to me how much money you make, isn't the thing that I look at when I try to decide if I'm gonna listen to what you have to share about how to make more money in sales- I'm listening for something else, a quality item, that when it is present, you know it, and the money isn't an issue because, it's obvious the person is a success. So when I first saw Chris Voss online, first saw his blog, yes I was impressed. It got my attention for two reasons: 1) It was organized so that Chris could hear from me, and respond, and he did - which is a must. 2) The blog was always about something new, something cutting edge, and, it wasn't always about marketing or sales, many times Chris will do just a wonderful job of bringing out real people and real issues that matter, and he always treats them with respect; even when he is being funny or sarcastic; he is a class act.

Those two factors told me this man is a success and his word when it comes to getting things done will work. In the world of internet there are all sorts of folks who will tell you how great they are, Chris, won't, instead, you'll discover, if you will pay attention to his work, his wit and his suggestions, that this man knows what he is talking about; and a subscription to his service makes it worth way, way, WAY more than the small amount you will invest. Chris has the most thorough and the most advanced information I've run across in years, and, having a Masters in the field of computer information systems, my tendency is to not say that, so if you get the chance check out this one, he is for real, and he will be for you, the best over the best.
