A song I can't stand This morning I saw a video talking about the lyrics of this song, because I have never liked it and so I wanted to understand more. This feeling of a place that is welcoming at first, but also the only solution, because it's night and it's the only hotel around. Then you get into it, get lured in by illusion and the portrait of friendliness that just serves the purpose of getting you trapped. There's entertainment and fun along the way, yet it all just ends in you being captured. You can never leave. And the song ends in even deeper unconsciousness. "the last thing I remembered...." so what happened afterwards? Did I lose my memory? And it doesn't end on that. There's a lingering at the end. The suffering gets prolonged by a. ghostly guitar solo and prolongs the painful feeling of being trapped with no escape. What is your impression of the song? Now after these explanations I can understand the meaning and the genius of the song capturing a time, a place, a way of living, a mindset, a generation. Even the guitar solo sounds different now, because I don't feel so trapped. It's actually quite brilliant. Now I wonder: what have I been listening to? The song or my own prejudices and ghosts? What does Hotel California mean for you and how do you like the song? #polymath #systemsthinking #songwriting #mindfulness #eagles #hotelcalifornia #personalgrowth Networking Café are uplifting conversations with polymaths.

Good video choreography that truly exhibits essense of lifestyle. In today's fast-paced world, the essence of things can sometimes go unnoticed. In many modern cities, the focus tends to be on quick decisions and social connections rather than on deeper, more intrinsic values. This emphasis on speed and networking can lead to a shallow understanding of what truly matters. Instead of solely defining significance through social interactions, it's essential to remember that essence encompasses the core attributes and qualities that make something what it truly is. It goes beyond fleeting moments or superficial connections, delving into the heart of meaning and purpose. Taking the time to reflect on the essence of our choices, relationships, and experiences can bring about a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. By pausing amidst the hustle and bustle of modern life to contemplate the essence of things, we may find a more profound sense of fulfillment and connection. https://lnkd.in/gcaptPjm

Didja know... You're Still "My Type"? Here's a follow up to a post I made many weeks back on perseverance, maintaining focus & then taking the next courageous step into the unknown ... Y'all might remember that it was one about that little song that just kept going, "My Type" by the band Saint Motel. I told the story about how this song took the band from being a small regional act to one that got a recording deal, manages to run itself as a consistently profitable business, continues to record great songs, and tours every year... on its own terms! Just to refresh your social media memory, the "My Type" demo was produced in around 2013 and was released on a US label only after debuting in the UK and Europe. Since that time, "My Type" showed up in glitzy commercials, films, and TV. It's become the kind of song that gets played at weddings or by marching bands in half-time shows. A friend from the band sent me a text last week that both blew my mind and filled me with optimism as someone who builds and produces stuff. He wrote, "Dude, RIAA just certified 'My Type' as platinum and three other of our songs as gold." For those who don't follow the music industry, what that means is that this little song that keeps going has now sold 1,000,000 copies. KABOOM! For those of you out there creating stuff or building a business, here's my unsolicited encouragement. 1. Stay Focused. Know (and feel) what you want. Look where you're going. 2. Have Faith (and patience). Not just Hope, but honest-to-goodness Faith. If what you're doing is good and how you're doing it is consistently improving, the results will be exactly what they're meant to be. 3. Keep Improving, Keep Evolving. 4. Find Ways To Collaborate. That typically starts with being curious and asking for help. 5. Stay Out Of The Results. The results, like selling 1,000,000 copies, come from the ongoing work of honing the process. 6. Be In Love With The Work. You won’t always like it, but you can still love it. Here's one final thought on how to direct your energy. Stop trying to appear impressive or be seen in a particular way. This is one of those platforms that is particularly conducive to "impression management." Sustainability and longevity are where it's at, so just keep focusing on doing your thing really really well. In the meantime, Saint Motel is on a massive US tour. Go see 'em. You won't be disappointed. Onward!

A few days ago, I saw a video that left me pondering. Margaret Hold, a 79-year-old grandmother, went on holiday to Ibiza with her 22-year-old granddaughter, Shaina. They didn't settle for leisurely strolls or a good book by the sea, but threw themselves into the whole Ibiza experience. Ten days full of discotheques, boat trips and, of course, a lot of laughter. That spark, that joy and, above all, that attitude made me think a lot about how age is nothing more than a number. It's not how old we are, but how we choose to live each day that really counts. Ibiza, like life, is ageless. We may think that there are things that are no longer for us or that we should behave in a certain way when we reach a certain stage, but in the end, what matters is the attitude with which we face each moment. Margaret didn't just enjoy herself, she gave herself completely to the experience, reminding us that it's never too late to enjoy, explore, and why not, take to the dance floor without a care in the world. Because at the end of the day, the only thing that really matters is how we choose to live each moment we are given. So, whatever our age, why not live with that spark that Margaret brought to Ibiza? Life is for enjoying, and it's all in the attitude we put into it. #WEAREONTIME #WeAreAllAboutAllMoment #ExclusiveJourneys #Ibiza

Pro tip: Not sure how to convince people your opinion is correct? Just add the words "to ensure" liberally to your conversation, and you'll sound more authoritative. "We should paint the bikeshed blue _to ensure_ that it is asthetically pleasing." "You should make lasagna for dinner _to ensure_ that it is full of flavor." "Tourists should avoid the city center _to ensure_ they don't get lost." It doesn't actually matter if the thing you aim "to ensure" relates to the opinion. "We should estimate using story points _to ensure_ on-time delivery."
