Dreaming Friday Brainfood (and Fun)

Friday again.... so a little 'food' for the brain and the spirit!

The theme is dreaming...

Honda's Asimo conducting an orchestra...


Speaking of dreams... let me introduce you to one of my heroes, Dr V... At 58 he decided to eradicate needless blindness in India... 

Start with an Outrageous Dream. Ozzie politicians PLEEEEASE note: we really can do health care differently!  PS Grab a coffee - this one's about 30minutes...it starts a tad slow, but is well worth it!

If you'd rather read: check out this article about Dr V as a Leaders : 
The Perfect Vision of Dr. V.


If you've not discovered ABC Australia's wonderful Dust Echoes, make your life better by here (when you get to the site, click anywhere on the image, watch and wonder...) 


And finally, some fun dreaming:

Have a great weekend!

Who Learns More When A Fool & Wise Person Meet?

Are you still using Winndoze 95? or OhEss8? 
Do you still use a computer with a 2 Gig hard drive and 128K ram...Are you working with EmEsWurd2000 without virus protection?

No? 

Really!?  Why not?

Ahhh....Because you can't run 21st century programs on outdated platforms...?
Uhhuhhh...
And because there's so many nasty viruses around these days
Uhhuhh... I see... makes sense really...

So...may I ask... 
  • how often do you upgrade your mental operating system to prevent the human equivalents of freezing (paralysis by analysis), crashing (dummy-spits, freak-outs) or start-up problems?
  • how up-to-date do you keep your anit-virus thinking to protect against nasty workplace viruses like Hubris, Arrogance, Know-It-Allism, Negativity, Cynicism, Apathy, Complacency, High Anxiety, Doom & Gloom? 
  • what new software have you 'installed' (by reading, studying, listening, researching, travelling, mixing with new people) to handle the complexity & dynamics of 21st century work?
If you're still doing things the way you've always done them, if you're still doing what you've always done... sorry, but your pyramid's going down... because on this planet (as far as I know) there are only two options: decay or growth.
