What did you do with your Z today III

It becomes bigger than us as people; more important than process improvement or value-adding. Forget about following SOP's forget about the fact that there is such a thing as capacity and it is usually finite. Let's SELL SELL SELL SELL!!!!

Yippee. Let's all hold hands, exchange nice flowery talk about value propositions, competitive advantages, customer-facing collateral and go-forward marketing strategies in our business ecosystems. It makes me want to stick a fork in my eye sometimes.

I seriously did not want to grow up and be doing this. Screw the paycheck, profit-sharing and 401(k). I have become that which I rallied against when I was young and idealistic. I am a sell out just like The Who – licensing their songs for TV.

That’s all for now. Sorry for the rant. I got my therapist’s voicemail just now.

Yeah, I know. I think I had a frustrating day. I do like being able to buy a $2K lens or PSS or Koni whenever the mood strikes.

How much you need depends on what truly makes you happy. Whether your happiness comes in the form of material things, self fulfillment or benevolence is up to you.
Ideally, you'd have a balance. That's what I'm striving for!

My happiness -- actual happiness -- comes from love from and of others. I know that is corny, but it is true. It also comes from accomplishments (in my mind, not others') and doing good works. Simple.

Oh yeah, my Konis, Swifts and PSS make me happy too.
