Quick tale of a treasured grade school book, "Gay the Sheltand Sheepdog" and I urge us making books an important part of life!

I had always thought I was “left brained” with no “right brain” skills like art and drawing. Then I took a drawing class and learned that not only do I have a right brain, but I have a whole brain. And all I needed to do was change my perspective and I’d be able to draw and create art. With practically no training I was suddenly creating art like this, falling into “right brain” mode. As John says, my brain is far more plastic than I gave it credit for. Must credit the thinking from Betty Edwards in her book “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain” https://t.co/mAjMVnxIgP

Have you ever said, "I'm a left-brain person, so I'm just not artistic" or perhaps said the opposite? Listen to this episode and find out why it's not true!

Each of us is essential to the most important kind of climate change the world needs. Every time we are tempted to hate someone, we must stop and find what is good in them. This will lead to ultimate climate change!

@johnrdurant Are they budging because they’re rude, or perhaps they are scared, threatened, anxious. I feel those things to. I appreciate when I’m “greedy” that others give me space. May I extend that grace as well.

[Dave Payne @_davepayne]

@johnrdurant To be kind to the needy and the greedy. To do so changes at least my world, and the world of the other. Couldn’t it be that what I judge as greed in another is to them a vital need?

Entrepreneurs instinctively go after the biggest opportunity in their target market.

Instead, it’s often best to go after the smallest segment that has the most pain.

Focus on a tiny wedge.

Nail it and then scale it.

The smaller the better at the start of the journey.
