Of course there “s a *chance*, but I “d venture to say the likelihood is somewhere around 7.4B to 1.

That entirely depends on whether you’re writing on the desktop or the mobile version.

On phone, I have been able to send through short, one or two character answers.

On desktop if I try to do that, I will get a notification that says something along the lines of “Your answer isn’t long enough. Try again with, you know, words. Maybe consult Donald Trump, because he knows the best ones.”

😉

I totally have the best job ever.

At ROCeteer I get to work with entrepreneurs every day, in technology, retail, small and larger businesses, helping them shape their vision into a concrete plan of action.

Every company is different, every project is interesting, and I get to meet tons of cool people doing awesome things.

I’m super lucky.

As a person who has a Liberal Arts degree from a school that relied heavily on Socrates, Aristotle, Newton, Galileo – all the greats, I can tell you that I think having ideas is wonderful! Without dreamers, philosophers, scientists and people encouraged to have ideas, we wouldn’t be able to understand our world the way we do.

Indeed, we’ve had some dark periods in our history where the very act of having ideas was regulated and discouraged. Not cool at all!

So, ideas are awesome!

What is even more awesome is *doing* something with them.

Here’s a handy chart showing exactly how much more:

Think about it this way:

If you have an idea, and don’t tell anyone about it, and never do anything about it, and then you die, it’s as if that idea never existed.

If, however, you have a brilliant idea and write it down, but never do anything about it yourself in your lifetime, it is worth something (but not much.)

Let’s say someone comes along 100 years later, finds your idea, and makes it. They now become a billionaire because of your idea. Yay for them!

Would you be cursing your misfortune from the afterlife? After all, they stole your idea! How dare they!

This happens all the time, with and without the 100 year shift. An idea is not worth much if it sits stagnant. It needs to get out and be tried out. If it doesn’t, the world loses out on some amazing things.

Once your idea has become tested and gained traction, then you can go find funding.

I believe that everyone has something they can teach someone else, and if you are willing to take he time you can be an active mentor to anyone.

I became an active mentor the first time someone asked me to be, and I discovered I had been a passive mentor to others soon after.

I love cooking.

I’m very good at it.

I not only cook, I create new dishes. I love flavor and texture and playing around with food combinations.

My sorbets and ice creams are the stuff of legend.

Why don’t I do it as a career?

The food industry, from any entry point (restaurant, food manfucturing, hospitality, etc), is backbreaking work, for little gain.

Gordon Ramsay makes more money from TV than he ever has from restaurants. Wolfgang Puck makes more money on licensing deals.

Food sucks as a career.

Better to cook at home where I enjoy it than grow to resent it in a kitchen surrounded by broke chain smokers 😉

The happiest thought I have, is that every single one of us has the power to change the world every day on a global scale.

We don’t have to have the same interests.

We don’t have to speak the same language.

We don’t have to even like each other.

All we have to do is smile.

If we take a little time to reflect on what makes us happy, the things that bring us personal joy, we can shine a little of that onto others with our smiling faces, and with our laughter.

In turn, it will spark something in others – a memory, a recollection, that will keep the chain going, and going, and going.

That energy will spread farther and faster than you can imagine.

And that is the happiest truth of life.
