When Your Life going too smooth, Quick Look in the Rear View Mirror!

Hopefully I'm the only one dumb enough to have done this but, just in case there's another person out there who is as unfortunate as I was? No there couldn't be!
It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in the mid 80's, the sun was shining. There was a slight breeze, Gorgeous! Where was my mind? Personally I'm wondering at this point if I have one? If I do it was definitely not on my driving! I looked in the rear view mirror all clear. Checked the driver's side mirror nothing! I put the shifter in reverse and had my foot on the brake to disengage the auto lock on the transmission and as I looked in the right side passenger and started to move in reverse my passenger bent over and blocked my view. Yup you guessed it, No Excuses, IT WAS MY FAULT! I hit one of those fancy motorized shopping cart pushers. Thank God the operator was on the far end or I might have injured him! I was so angry at myself! There can be no excuses! If you're behind the the wheel, you're the operator of the vehicle. When you back up and hit something or someone it's your fault. Fortunately there was no damage to the machine and I do have an important option. I'm going to swallow my pride and take a driver's refresher class! My pride may not survive but my passengers, other drivers, and the pedestrians around me will.!!!

Keeping your Momentum Up!

Okay you had an idea for a project, you put your heart and soul into it and maybe even substantial time and it ran you into the ground. What now give up? Before you say yes or no stop. What did you learn from the experience? Yes Yes I know nobody supported it? But why? Did the concept seem favorable to them? Did you correctly provide a way for your audience, customers, or target group to give you the input(payments, following, or feedback) you needed to know you were on the right track? Don't be afraid of failure! Wait a minute, don't go away I didn't say acccept failure? Interpret it? Failure is valuable! The Greatest minds in history have used it as a favorable tool.
Edison when he was asked about his failures at the time after inventing the light bulb stated "I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward." Alexander Graham Bell could have ended his experiments on voice transmission over wires when was told he had neither the funding or a working model to demonstrate his idea but he persevered and found that one reed suspended in a liquid would provide the necessary transmission medium and his assistant came when he heard him over the device they were working on "Mr Watson — Come here —I want to see you." Bottom line once you are sure your idea will work and it demonstrates its capabilities clearly stick with it. What happens if you don't? Someone will eventually find your idea, make it work, and they'll grow rich while you spend the rest of your life working at some job you hate!
