    A big part of life is juggling

    A large and important part of every day is deciding what to do and coordinating various different things.

    A simple way to think about this is, that it’s like juggling. You’re juggling people, ideas, your feelings, your energy levels, logistics, the things around you, and technology. Just to name a few.

    There can easily be an overwhelming number of variables to juggle. Staying calm, cool, and in touch with a variety of elements in your proximity, helps you juggle.

    Sorry I just dropped into ProxThink-speak, but it really is sometimes the most efficient, comprehensive, and elegant way to speak about a situation.

    The need to conquer both externals and internals …

    In this life, not only do you need to face and conquer many things in the external world, but you need to face and conquer many inner fears and unhelpful habits.

    “Holiday” – What a Film

    For me, “Holiday,” with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn, isn’t just a film you watch. It’s a film you fall in love with.

    It’s so high-spirited, and full of life. Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn are such an awesome pairing. The dialogue is sparkling. The storyline exhibits great verve. The acting seemed practically flawless to me.

    By the end, I was completely hooked, and on the edge of my seat. And, it has what I call a ski jump ending. It’s a perfect ending which comes suddenly, and you find yourself still flying in the air after it’s over.

    Could an American have played Finn Hudson? 

    Cory Monteith is a Canadian. In his role as Finn Hudson on Glee, he pulls off a combination of innocence, honesty, strength, and naturalness. Topped off with the occasional wonder at how amazing life can be. Could an American have pulled this off? Have we Americans often become a bit too jaded, ironic, or sophisticated for our own good? Too cool? Of course not all Americans are, but I wonder about the available pool of actors in Hollywood.

    It’s tough for the cool people to do anything really creative. Because they’re usually afraid of being crazy.

    Fascinating perspective on language, cultural differences, the Chinese press, global trade, and renewable energy.
